Here's (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=101579) that concept taken to ridiculous lengths...I had to shoot wide and tight with the same eyeline on both cameras.

Nice work Kevin. As you probably figured out, pulling focus in the shallow end of the pool is a whole different ball game...

Yes, there will always be a little bauble after hitting record.

The issues you describe are inherent to the very minimal mass of the HV20 on the Merlin. If you were to compare it to, say, the XHA1...

Nearly all folks who have set themselves up with 35mm adaptors overdo it at the beginning (or forever). It's rare for a cinematographer who is shooting on 35mm to be obsessed with getting the...

I'm with Steve on this. Tough spun is truly old-school, it has long been supplanted by more efficient forms of diffusion and I haven't seen it used on set for many years. Look to the white diffusion...

Congrats on the purchase.

I didn't balance with the large battery, I'm pretty used to batts that only run for an hour or so thus I don't see the need for the big one.

Don't have the settings...

You might need a more sophisticated handheld setup that will recenter the balance point further forward and/or give you additional support from the front. See DVrigPro, Zacuto etc.

After that, if the interior lighting feels too bright, turn off overhead fluorescents etc. and add your own lighting to taste.
