Is the shower curtain material clear or is is frosted?

[Nelson May]

Thanks. That helps. I didn’t even think of my shower curtain liner. Anyway, I spent my money of a few used c stands and combos and if I have to use the 10×10, I was going to use tie line to anchor the corners on the ground in case of a gust of wind.

Thanks,

Don’t worry about long messages. I am good with VTR Assist and audio tech, but I am fairly new to cinematography and need to learn all I can. I just hate to keep peppering you guys with questions.

Anyway this really helps me make a decision and not spend money in the wrong places. Do you have a dual matte box that you recommend?

Thanks.

[Nelson May]

Thank you. Good advice. here is a matte box I am looking at. The MX-5000 Pro https://www.imagewest.tv/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=55. Will it be adequate? also should I screw a UV filter to the lense and use it in addition to the matte box and filters. Finally If you could recommend some good 4x4s for poliarizer and shooting in a flourecent environment. Should I go with multi coated? I hate to ask so many questions, but I am still waiting for the HVX rebate and the Barry Green’s HVX200 guide so I am a little more comforatble with the camera.

A camera store just confused me by saying I needed a digital filter. Maybe they don’t know much about video. Here is one I have found. Would it it adequate for the HVX? https://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HOYA-82mm-Standard-Circular-Polarizer-Filter-82_W0QQitemZ200119546728QQihZ010QQcategoryZ15217QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I am just shopping around and I dont want to under buy for a professional camera. Would this be a good start? https://cgi.ebay.com/82MM-UV-PL-FLD-HD-FILTER-KIT-FOR-PANASONIC-AG-HVX200_W0QQitemZ120131927245QQihZ002QQcategoryZ74915QQcmdZViewItem

Also which works better on the HNV PL or the Circular PL. Is there a recommeded UV and FL filter? I would like to try and get a three pack. I can’t afford a matte box at this time so I need circular.

Barry, I am anxiously awaiting your book on the DVX200….which I hope comes soon. I read parts of the 100B and it really helped me understand the camera

[Nelson May]

Thank you all. I am being nit-picky here, but the 100 doesn’t record in which 24p mode? I can’t find the article which covers the FS 100. Again I am new to HD and is this format widely used? I may have to get 1 P2 card to be fully covered.

thanks for the help, you have kept me from bidding on the wrong drive on ebay and thus needlessly spending 800-1000 bucks.

[Nelson May]

Thanks, that really helps and keeps me from buying the wrong version. Can you also go up to the 120GB and it records HD? Are there any other firestore brands out there other than focus enhancements? I thought I saw a Sony?

[Nelson May]

that is what I thought….anything else I need to know about the differences?
