Darren Kelly · December 8th, 2003, 10:48 AM

I am pleased to announce that after over 100 days of 12 hour days, we are shipping the HDV Guide To Acquisition & Production.

It's 60 minutes in length and contains:

An Introduction to the GR-HD1 & JY-HD10U

Comparisons of the footage between the 2 JVC Cameras & the SD PD150 and the $150K Cinealta

How to get the most out of the cameras

Shooting Indoors - Pro lights, Semi pro lights and Available light

Shooting outdoors - Different Speeds shown - wide angle attachments, teleconverters

White balancing - how to and comparisons of the different settings

Editing using Aspect HD ( 30 day trial & $100.00 off coupon) and Premiere(30 day trial included)

Editing using Media Studio Pro (Discount there too) in MPEG2TS - Trial version included too

Editing in FCP - we show you the DIVA workflow to iDVD.

You also get 3 free Digital Juice HD Jumpbacks.

So we are confident the value is there and the information is there and it is fast paced and entertaining to watch!

If you have ordered, you will see it this week (postal delivery). If you order now, we will ship immediately.

Thanks again for your support folks, and your patience.

IT'S DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Season's Greetings!!!!

Darren Kelly · December 16th, 2003, 10:57 AM

Guys

I'm sorry about the slowness of the post office. I suspect it's the christmas mail.

I am looking forward to hearing from the first person who received one.

UPS and FedEx don't guarantee anything around the holidays! And I know it's a mess with the Post Office, too.

Darren Kelly · December 16th, 2003, 11:50 AM

I'm feeling bady about this.

I know when everyone sees it they will be happy, but the delay.....well I feel like it's something I should have done faster.

Once again, Sorry to all who are waiting. I know you will get it this week.

Heath McKnight · December 16th, 2003, 11:51 AM

Don't worry about apologizing, Darren. It's the holiday rush at the post office!

Hey, it's better than paying $350!

Hectic Hoidays!!!

Thanks Darren

Allyn Fratkin · December 16th, 2003, 11:43 PM

i received the package today!

very professional looking packaging. started to check it out, then realized that my dvd player doesn't play dvd-r (or dvd+r or whatever it is). but i do have a dvd writer on my pc to watch it.

will check it out soon.

Darren Kelly · December 17th, 2003, 12:49 AM

Thank you for reporting that it arrived. I was beginning to wonder.

Check our website. It's been updated and I am currently struggling to get a sample clip up there.

Please also tell me what you think of the DVD

Cheers

I finally had a change to view the first disc last night. My compliments Darren, I think it’s great.

I’ve had my HD10 for 5 months or so now and have been actively reading and posting on this forum longer than that. I still felt I learned more than I already knew from Jumpstart. I highly recommend it for individuals that are contemplating purchasing one of the cameras and those who have just purchased a camera. Jumpstart puts together a lot of information in a concise and objective manner. Although the enthusiasm for the camera is apparent, many of the pro vs. cons of the camera are mentioned and fairly presented. Having this information presented visually with reference to the camera and shooting setups is indeed highly beneficial.

Thanks again Darren

Darren Kelly · December 18th, 2003, 03:23 PM

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it.

For others still thinking about buying the DVD, you can check out our website, which has been updated and includes a sample on line (Takes about 3 minutes to start, we're working on that)

Thanks Again Raymond. May I use your testimonial on my web page?
