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.

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.

Doctor Handsome · « **Reply #8 on:** April 04, 2008, 07:22:21 AM »

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.

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.

yeah dude! · « **Reply #11 on:** April 04, 2008, 08:55:07 AM »

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.

GhostBusters · « **Reply #15 on:** April 04, 2008, 11:31:41 AM »

I snagged an optura and a baby death.

mikefork · « **Reply #16 on:** April 04, 2008, 11:46:57 AM »

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

Matze · « **Reply #17 on:** April 04, 2008, 12:11:03 PM »

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.

poocrusher · « **Reply #18 on:** April 04, 2008, 12:19:15 PM »

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?

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

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.

jesus0nvi4gra · « **Reply #28 on:** April 05, 2008, 01:01:23 AM »

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.
