There are plugins which fix the rolling shutter effect in post (somewhat). I think as the cameras become more ubiquitous people are just overlooking the moire and rolling shutter.

Take the good with the bad, I suppose.

Can anyone recommend a good series of tutorials on learning basic cinematography for shooting short films or basic webisode-esque TV stuff? I'm happy to devote some time to it so the more involved the better.

I am probably going to buy a second hand DVX100 because I am gay for Panasonic if that makes a difference to anything.

Getting out there and shooting is the best tutorial, but don't discount simply watching movies either. Find scenes in films you like, put the dvd on pause, and simply think about how they shot it. Did the camera movie? Where is the lighting coming from? Were there practical lights (like desk lamps, etc) going? Further more, who was the cinematographer/DP on that picture? What else have they done?

Study painters, too. Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Monet.

Also, give Visions of Light, and Cinematographer Style a go just to learn about the back story of cinematography.

Visions of light is pretty expensive right now (I'm not sure why) but it does a great job covering some of the more famous films, while Cinematographer Style is just a series of interviews with famous cinematographers.

I'm pretttty sure I've seen it recommended in here before, so if anyone's looking for a copy of Man With A Camera and don't want to pay the crazy $80+ dollar prices for a copy on Amazon, I'm selling a spare copy I have for $50 shipped to any of you goons. My copy is also listed right now on Amazon if you'd rather go through it that way, also.

It's a drat good filmmaking book . I wouldn't be selling it if I didn't come across another copy.
Sold sold sold.

After three years of shooting on the company owned Sony HDV Z1U I finally convinced them to purchase a brand new Sony FS700 with the metabones adapter and a array of L lenses. It came in right before my state-mandated non-paid two-week holiday vacation. This past week I get an offer and accept a new job doing salary work with paid benefits and health insurance. Annnddd I'll be shooting on a Z1U again. Sigh.
