Eric Peltier November 7th, 2006 03:54 PM

I'm surprised you can't find it in NYC.
If you don't, email Leonard Levy (he's a regular crew here!),
he's in San Francisco and might be wiling to ship.
good luck

Marcin,

You'll find that most M2 or Mini-35 owners aren't willing to rent their equipment, mainly because most people don't treat rentals very well and most shooters on this forum don't have commercial equipment or rental insurance in case something goes bad - which it easily can and often does.

Your best bet if you need an adapter is to either purchase one yourself (the Brevis is a cost-effective and high-quality alternative to the M2) or, try the Red Rock forum and see if any registered owners are willing - but don't hold your breath. (^_^)

Hi,

I'm looking for help to get a miniDV PAL to NTSC conversion in the East Bay (Walnut Creek, Concord, Berkley, Oakland, etc..) area.

It's approx 5 minutes worth of footage.

Thanks in advance,

I can do it if you want to send it to me. Otherwise contact Tom Adams here...

If he can't do it there are several others AVP member studios out there that can probably do it for you.

Be sure to tell him I sent you!

I was looking for awhile for someone to rent from. I may be purchasing an HVX, M2, and set of Nikon lenses in the next month or two and renting it out to recoup some of the costs. Since I know most people renting this equipment from me, rather than going to a rental house, are doing so because its cheaper and, thus, probably doesn't have insurance, I'll require a security deposit. I guess I could do this via paypal. It seems like the most logical way of insuring that my equipment returns to me in good condition or at least the damages are paid for. Does anyone else rent out there equipment and have any suggestions on policy, etc?

Ken Grohs November 8th, 2006 04:17 PM

No offense, but 10/21/06 was 3 weeks ago.

Some other date perhaps?

Chris Colin Swanson November 9th, 2006 12:09 AM

you can borrow mine but I doubt you will want too. Mine is PAL and you would have to come to Norfolk to get it and you would have to use panasonic tapes.

Question about Final Cut Studio and a GL2
 
I reccently bought a Macbook Pro and a GL2, i have also aquired Final Cut Studio Academic. After I installed the nessicary software for the GL2 onto my Macbook i then installed Final Cut Studio. Upon hooking my camera up to the Macbook via Firewire, putting it into VCR mode, and then launching Final Cut, i was sorely disspointed when it found no camera. My mac detects the camera but Final Cut does not. Nor do any other programs; like the ones the GL2 came with. I have since updated all the software and still no results. The same camera works just perfectly on my PC and i just now finished editing in Premiere. So i know it is not my camera or cable. Can anyone help me??

Benjamin Hill November 9th, 2006 12:00 PM

Read the FCP manual, and just eliminate one variable one at a time. If you don't have any luck contact Apple tech support to help you troubleshoot.

Mark Bournes November 9th, 2006 12:04 PM

Chris, go to your capture settings and adjust them so you can capture via firewire from your gl-2. There's a tab on the capture window for capture settings. This should work.

Leo Zheng November 9th, 2006 07:34 PM

Nancy,

I got the gear and time. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,

Leo

Email me if I can be of any use in the future.

Cheers for now,

Anyone in Atlanta? I need Lens step down ring
 
Hello All,

I'll be in Atlanta all next week on a shoot. We will be using our XL H1 with a Formatt matte box. We have the proper adapter for it to fit the 72mm threads of the stock Canon 20x but need a step down ring for using it with our Redrock M2 and lenses.

I need to go from 72mm down to 49mm. B&H has one and we might get them to overnight one to us but I'd like to avoid that.

I can't get one here in Roanoke because it's such an odd jump in sizes. I even called Showcase in Atlanta and they'd have to order it as well.

Any help you guys could offer will be greatly appreciated.

Aram Rian November 11th, 2006 02:36 PM

Anyone in Belgium?
 
hi people.
would any of you know if there's an audio-video store in Brussels or Kortrijk selling Apple Mac hardware and software?
thanks

Volunteer Located In South Jersey (USA)
 
Hi. I own my own camera gear (video) and am located in south jersey. I will volunteer my shooting services in exchange for experience in shooting docs and film. Weddings and events has been a part of my life for ten years so I kinda know a little about pressure and how to tell a story. If I'm on the wrong site please let me know where else to post.

Thanks

Talented Shooter in Burbank?
 
dumb question, I know. There's probably 8,000 talented shooters in Burbank!
Newbe film maker needs shooter great with miniatures for filming a 6 minute puppet show and some piano playing for an online competition. Simple production in a hurry (must shoot this week). Pay is $250 for short consultation and 1-day shoot. Must be patient to not only get nice shots but correct performance as well. Great if you have own camera/lens for better depth-of-field, but can also use my HD3. Low light is more important than HD for this, though. Better if you have DVI references. email grifmusic@mac.com

Marcin Wilczek November 13th, 2006 11:02 AM

Finaly, I just order the M2 conventer for myself.
and I'm willing to rent if you need one.

Best,

Noah Posnick November 13th, 2006 06:47 PM

Awesome Marcin. Hope you like it! I may just have to rent that from you in a month or so before I buy mine- test it out and see how I like it. Are you getting it with just the Nikon mount? I was thinking about getting PL maybe also. Let me know once you get it. Thanks!

Gentleman in Vegas with Z1 or FX1?
 
I just shot a short in Japan (on a Z1) and dumped all the tapes to disk while there (and had the camera) but one half of one file (i.e. about 30 min. of one file/tape) is corrupt... or I hope SO!! I hope it is not the tape!! I do not have a Z1 or FX (I am a producer) but would like to know if anyone would be generous enough to help me out, I live in Las Vegas. I just need to recapture one tape (one hour) to Vegas 7.

Chris Luker November 14th, 2006 11:45 AM

I might be down in Vegas for Thanksgiving... I'll let you know if I come, I'll bring my z1. Hey, that last bit rhymed!

Holiday DVD Project
 
I'm working on a Holiday DVD for people that don't have the money or time for decorations.
I decided to videotape my Christmas tree and decorations, and perhaps drive around the neighborhoods taping the elaborate house decorations. I'm also thinking of going to a shopping mall for some footage.
I was wondering if anyone has any footage of holiday snow scenes. I've already been online and found stills for over $300. This is a non profit project.

I apologize if this post is in the wrong category.

Sound Recordist needed in Melbourne Australia
 
Bit of a long shot but i thought i'd post here.

Im producing/shooting a Tropfest (www.tropfest.com) short, and we understand the value of a good sound. Which is why they would be the only ones getting paid.

We are on a tight budget but its a one day shoot. If anyone knows anyone familiar with HDV and its levels etc or has a dat (even better!) we would love to get in contact with them.


Cheers,
Ben Gurvich

Philip Gioja November 30th, 2006 12:17 PM

You might try istockphoto.com - their still photos usually cost $1.

Are you planning to sell this DVD?

Bruce S. Yarock November 30th, 2006 01:33 PM

Hey Ben,
If you move the festval to south Florida, we'll shoot hdv and do the sound...LOL.
good luck.

Cost of DVD
 
Philip, I plan to give these away. In my church and at work, there are a number of people who don't have money for decorations. Also some people don't seem to be in the holiday spirit.
Thanks for the website info. Art
