Meet the Painter 35mm/HV20
1 year ago
Notes
---------------------
- Filmed on Magazine St in New Orleans. A beautiful hot summer day. We didn't really know what we would find- we met this interesting painter and her muse. It's rare to find artists on Magazine St. It was hot, and they were looking for shade.
- I am trying this new thing - whatever film I start shooting, I have to finish editing and upload by the end of the day.
- Because I had no plan, no concept, I was lazy about the shots- they are shaky and out of focus often, and I didn't get a lot of good footage to shoot with.
- I am particularly proud of the title in perspective. :)
Specs:
--------------------------------
28mm F.20 Nikon
Worley 35mm Adapter
HV20 Cinemode
Exposure was not locked
IndiFocus Upside Down Rig
LCD Hack

Great job!
I have an hv20 camera, but is impossible to get a DoF here in Chile, Southamerica!!!.
Any ideas?
Back off from your subject and use full zoom-in.
Then put it in MANUAL mode and you have a DOF good as some of these add-on things.
If you need examples I can give you some of my movie links where I did that.
I like to see that videos. I feel that I need to practice, and is a good idea to see you work. Can you give to me your links, please?.

I have also some flower close-ups using a DOF kinda images.
Here's how you can do the same as I did:
You must be 5-20 meters away from your subject.
Then you zoom in, all the way to max zoom WITHOUT using your digital zoom.
That's it.
If you want to make it even more interesting put the camera focus in MANUAL mode.
It will take a lot of practice.
One little warning when you use DOF
Use it for a 'reason' to make your movie better.
Not because you can do DOF.
I see lots of DOF and 35mm adapter users making silly movies along the line of how some people use the zoom lens: zoom in and out for no reason at all.
Look for a REASON why you must use the DOF scene as in my movies.
Making good movies is not easy.... am still learning :)
It's enough to hook me into seeing the rest of your work here.
keep it up.
;)
You actually shot this on 'film'?
If not, then you should call this 'recording or taping' because that's what you do.
Nobody shoots film or 'filming' anymore :)
You know, if we really use film we still can't call ourselves as 'film-makers' because we don't MAKE films.
KODAK, FUJI, AGFA makes film :)
We USE film and we make MOVIES!
Where did you get the upside down rig? I've been considering getting one for my HF-100.
And, if it's not, well, it's even a great story too ;-)
Nice video, by the way.
Try to look out on Vimeo or somewhere else on the web, how I can find a DOF adaptator for my Sony SR-11, without success for now...
What shutter speed did you shoot at? I tried filming in 1/48 since people say it's the most "filmic" shutter speed, but I keep losing sharpness during movement.
Great Film. I'm looking to shoot on an HV20 W/ a letus 35 mm adapter, other than Cinemode what settings did you use?
