how many people on here are filmers? if so what kit do you run?
p.s fuck skateperception, so you can keep your stupid "go back to skateperception" comment to yourself.

hi-8 camera with a broken kodak camera fisheye taped on
-
hi 8 is awesome, im pretty sure my mom still has one of those hi8 players. they were like mini vcr's.
-
mikeypioggia on here is ahlee and nate's filmer. he's great.
-
I'm trying to make my way into it. I had a TRV900 Baby Death that I've sold to save up for a DVX100 setup. Mainly going with the DVX since I'm going to college next fall for digital filmmaking.
-
i had a vx1000 and a century optics fisheye for a good 3 years. after years of falling, repairs, and a broken viewfinder. the blasted thing finally gave up on me 4 years ago. i now have a hand me down panasonic gs500 3 chip camera. i havent used it for skating.
-
I have a VX1000 and a Modded Raynox Fisheye and a Bescor with 50W.
-
vx1000 and mk1 all day!!!
-
I've had a vx1 for years, and a dvx b for like 2 and a half. I put up a clip I made in the video forum a few days ago.
-
i don't own a cam myself, but for my filmprojects i always take this monster. canon xl1. sometimes i grab a vx1000 from a friend for skatefilming, but i'm not able to film good lines or something ...

nice to see theres other filmers on here. i run a canon gl2 with mod raynox mx-3, good camera if you know how to use it.
-
I have a 2100 with a mk1. I'm lucky enough to gave the original mk1 that was made for the 2000/2100 for like a week, not a modified one.

alllll day

what is that ali? panasonic?
-
its an HVX, i wish i had 7 g's to spend on one of those.
-
I snagged an optura and a baby death.
-
i don't have my own camera anymore, but i use a sony pd150 when i film, or i just use a vx1 with a death lens
i plan on buying a hd camera one day though
-
well, i'm new to this business, but i would apreciate ifyou could post some stuff you filmed/edited. i filmed maybe 20 skateboard tricks over the past 10 years, but had about 10 hours interview and additional footage since december. videography is fun, even if i'm more into taking picture.
-
I have a VX and a MK1. I've filmed 3 vids with it and I had to have the heads and mic and viewfinder replaced. I should be able to make it through one more video with it.
-

How do you like the DVX and you have any advice in looking for a good used one?
-

stoked you bought ty's camera, that thing slays.
-
I was logging clips on my cell phone pretty regularly until it stopped saving the videos.
-
just got back from a late night sesh and i thought i should put a flashlight on

...it didnt work
-
haha zr100? that was my first camera, such a beast
-
So is this just an elitist "skateboard filmer" thread or an "open to filming all sorts of beauty" thread?
I have plenty to share if it's the latter
-
vx21 modray

yeah man get that shit running again.
-
knowing the general population most skateboarders/filmers can be snobs about cameras.
I had an idea about hitting up thrift stores for weird old cameras and making a video with them.
I see so many at the ones around here, from og full size channel 9 ones to decent hi 8/vhs c.
My buddy jake had a vx2100 with a modded mk1 that was so damn wide he'd practically be riding piggyback just to be close enough.
It got jacked last year and he finally bought a brand spankin new 2100 but he had to use his old mk2, i can tell he's struggling to get used to it, hard to gauge how close to be now since he was so used to his old lens.
-
Maybe somebody here can answer a question I've been reluctant to sign up for Skate Perception to ask. Do you have to use the death lens that's marketed specifically for a DVX for a DVX, or can you get a VX one on there? The DVX one is harder to find and more expensive.

No I slays.

Hey MFS, I still have a Hi8 vcr too... those things are dope!
I own a fucked up VX2000... I used to film my friends for fun and edit videos. It's pretty fun but I'd much rather be skating.

You can get the mk2 for the vx's and take the bayo off which reveals 72mm threads (I believe). Then it just threads on to the front, but you are probably better off just getting the dvx death for your dvx.
And you don't need an account to just go look.
-
DVX Fisheye Footy doesn't look good in my opinion. Those blue flares on the Vignetting is so distracting.. I personally love the VX1k Mk1 Setup.
-
I just hate how it makes it look digi. Awkwardly sharp and soft at the same time. Everyone buys the camera because it is the next best thing under 10,000.

Yeah, exactly what I think. The sound is strange too.

Nothing beats the dvx, you guys are crazy.

its actually a zr200 haha
-

i agree, everyone dickrides the vx1 because its super easy to control the colours and exposure. id rather own a dvx than a vx1 anyday.
-
The DVX is the best camera, but not really for skateboard filming. Nothing can beat the Mk1 on the VX1. I just don't like to watch DVX Fisheye stuff. The CA kills it. But maybe it's just me..

vx1000 with MK2.

well said, I'll admit some of the fish shots look a little too sharp, but nothing beats dvx for long lens shots.

I'm going to school for film though, so skateboarding's not my only priority. And I know it's not popular with everyone, but I really like the way skating looks in 24p.
-
That makes sense. The DVX is the better camera if you're not filming skateboarding. The good thing about living in Europe is that i can achieve the 24p look with my VX better, because of the 25fps PAL framerate.

i run a canon gl2 with mod raynox mx-3, good camera if you know how to use it.
same here. it's pretty wicked.

ive seen your posts on skateperception, i just pesonally hate that forum. theres maybe ten kids on there who are good at filming and are actually doing there own (something other than the zoom feet quick pan away thing).
-
yeah, i dont think ive posted one thing on there with my gl2 since i just pretty much got it. here's some test footage with it first day.... notice i left steady shot on. hah http://vimeo.com/799724

i'd say theres at least 500 good filmers on that site, with tons of guys filming pro shit...just sayin'
-
obvious exaggeration, theres just a giant lack of originality on skateperception from what ive noticed. keep in mind i have spent barely any time on the forum there.
-
Try spending a few minutes in the photography section.

Well that is kind of obvious, they all just do what is trendy. You get a whole bunch of people together and they will eventually share the same idea of what filming should be. The exact same thing happens here with skating, except for a select few.

actually i see a lot of diversity here on what people like to see as far as certain skaters and tricks.
If someone isn't into a dude then they don't post in the topic unless they hate them.
and in some cases most people will like specific skaters.
generalizing is lame, try and do it less.
-
most of the ppl on perception think that in one year every skate video is gonna be hd, even tho the fisheye for it is the worst thing in the world.

yes! I've seen this midnight sk8 pimp at millz before, who is he?
-

i have the same thing, but could you explain the "mod" part? i just stuck that thing right on there, what exactly is the mod?
-
its when you add a part from this other lens to the original raynox so it makes the raynox a lot wider. its a lot wider but not quite as wide as a mark one.
-
you use a sony 0.6x wide angle as a back element to widen the lens. quality suffers a bit but it still better than spending 700-900 on a mk1

i had the widened raynox for a little while, but its just not the same as the mk1. i found a mk1 for 600 and it was worth it.
-
i wish i could afford something from century but its just to damn expensive at this point in my budget, so raymod for me.
-
The Mk1 has to be so sick to film with.. I wish I had one, but it's just too much money to spend on a piece of glass. I'll just stick with the Raymod, it's a good lense too.
-
alright now lets take a poll, who here worked hard for there camera?
-
i worked all summer long for both of mine.
-
I don't know how hard I worked, but all the camera stuff I have bought was with my own, earned money.

Hey, sorry for bumping this back, but I was wondering if anyone could help me.
My camera recently died and my real dad let me borrow his Hitachi DVD Camera until I get the money to buy a new one. I've heard nothing but bad reviews about this camera, but figured it would be STUPID to turn down a free camera.
I know you can play the discs back in your computer and/or DVD PLAYER, but the problem is the camera will not finalize the disc. It gets to about 80% and errors every time. Which is something you have to do to play it back. I've researched this problem online plenty and it seems a lot of users of this camera have the same problems, but there is never a straight-forward answer. I even tried using ISOHunter to import the clips. Just wondering if anyone on this site has any experience with this.. Thanks.

I know this is not what you want to hear, but dvd camera's are pretty bad. if you're into filming skating go miniDV.

No, but when I'm shooting other stuff I use other cameras, not the pd150. It's a nice camera and everything, but I use the equipment that the company I do work for has.

ya but how'd you pay for it

I was working two jobs before I went to school in DC, thats how I payed for it.

mk1
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/sizbroo/Nicknollieflipcancer1_0001.jpg)
If you ask me, its worth it, and essentially you are only borrowing it because you can resell the mk1 for nearly the same price you bought it for. Id fully recommend it to any person serious about filming.

You have a valid point there. I see mint ones go for like 600-650 when new ones are 700.
