hybrid 1043 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 So Brendon and myself each bought HDV camcorders and have been assing around for the past 2 weeks learning everything we can. This is how this short HD clip turned out with HV30 + skateboard + e46 http://www.vimeo.com/1515382 Going to try some Topgear style shots soon. EDIT: Aspect ratio fixed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) I just recently bought the same camera, and love it. What are you using for editing, storage & burning/output? Edited August 12, 2008 by E30-323ti Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 Yeah they do rock for so many reasons. This was brendons clip. Was shot in 25p / TV mode for more dynamic colour as cinemode is a bit flat for lots of light. Didnt lock off the exposure for this unfortunitly. Using sony vegas as premier just seems to be overly complicatd when importing and exporting. We are using the same processing I use on my digi SLR camera shots .. just trying to perfect it for film as its a little different. Jochen: Yes, a merlin is the next thing we are looking at. That and some more car camera mounts / camera crane. This clip was a bit of a fluke, brendon had the camera on a skateboard on a cheap camera tripod with a crap head (hence the jerkiness) and was just mucking around with doing a dolly shot, I just so happened to be coming home .. hence my small stop to look at what the hell he was doing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Simon* Report post Posted August 12, 2008 Sounds cool - so keen to see but stupid work content filter tells me vimeo is "social networking" and therefore blocked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew 30 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 Needed an N/D filter on the top - not the bottom of the shot. I can show you the correct workflow if you want Josh :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
