Not exactly a 170 but 150 is pretty much the same cam.

“Tosh is a fake, you’re not – that’s why HE’S counter-productive. ”
Exactly. Would you read a blog by Tony the Tiger talking about how Frosted Flakes are made and how tasty they are? Would you read the Maytag Repairman’s blog about what he does with his free time? Probably not for any serious purposes.

Jan-
I’m not convinced you would be sought out at the trade shows anymore than you are already if it were your personal blog. Face it- you’re a celebrity baby! Everyone in the 24p/HD world pretty much knows who you are already and the fact that you are willing to come out so willingly and openly about the gear is a huge part of why people appreciate and are loyal to Panasonic.
The idea of companies blogging about their product is something that’s been around for a while. For example the programmers over at Id have long blogged about where they are with Doom and Quake programming and when the game comes out- (they used to just call it their log.)

Might be more down to earth and straightforward to just be yourself as you are on the boards rather than setup a fictional hipster indie character. Another way to go would be to have all the team folks at Panasonic who might be contributing content to the def blog now simply come out as themselves and share the blog. If you look at many blogs today- such as the ones from:
You’ll note that several different writers contribute to a single blog. This makes it a chorus of identified reporters- like a newspaper- rather than a single person writing every entry. Also as a corporate backgrounder, check out the blog for the upcoming movie version of Rent, which features entries by the actors, director and other crewpeople as an example of a company opening up their process:

If there’s one thing the video community shares where 24p and HiDef it’s healthy skepticism and apprehension. The way to assuage those concerns in the long run might be better achieved through openness and transparency rather than clever marketing. And blogs are often seen as the real deal rather than marketing or the company line. Panasonic’s unique lately has been as a straight shooter thanks in large part to your personal efforts among the internet communities. This blog could be another opportunity to increase that openness rather than diffuse it.

B&H or EVS would be a fine start.

You connect the Firewire cable from your camera to your computer and then capture into your editing program after reading the manual at least a bit.

More details please. What format are your working with and what are your export settings. Sounds like a framerate or codec mismatch somewhere.

You could screenshot each page into a picture and then present as a slideshow. That would take some time though- make sure you are billing by the hour.

Also- with all respect to Motion it’s about the last tool in the toolbox I use for greenscreen keying. FCP, After FX, Commotion, Shake, Combustion- those are much better suited for greenscreen keying.

Shoot 60i and match color, gamma, etc as best as possible with a good broadcast monitor. They will not match perfectly of course but that plus good color correction in post will be close enough for gov’t work.

There are certain tricks DVDSP plays with the DVD spec to be as user friend as it is but these have little effect on the majority of DVD projects. It’s only when you get heavily into scripting and super complext video titles that you might run into issues. I can guarantee if you buy Hollywood DVDs you’ve already watched many many discs made with DVDSP.
