'HD' in HV30. I flirted with the focus, stability, and slow motion to see if we'd get along. I love the HV30!

Nice vid, and nice choice of music. I love me some Trentemoller. :-)

That bee shot was crazy!
Fibre Optix 1 year ago

Is that with a 35mm adapter or something? Looks great
Matthew Brown 1 year ago

I wish. It was just the HV30 and Sony Vegas. Thanks for the comment!

Damn fine work Matthew!
Ryan Chartrand 1 year ago

Absolutely beautiful. Well done!
Kristoffer Jansson 1 year ago

Wow, amazing, is it true you didn't use any kind of adapter or lens?
Matthew Brown 1 year ago

Hey thank you!! Yeah, there is no lens or anything on it. I just messed with the focus length and brightness/contrast as heavily as possible to get more of a film effect.
RDJim 1 year ago

How do you shoot let alone focus without a lens? or do you mean you used a stock lens?

Nice work Matthew. Great to see you pushing the HV30 to the limit! That first bee shot was fantastic!
Paul Moore 1 year ago

I applaud your creativity. How did you get that jib shot of the plants so smooth? I am assuming you weren't using a jib? Thank you for inspiring me.
Matthew Brown 1 year ago

Haha, no. I was using the tripod for that shot. You caught me, haha. I did a couple run throughs with it going up and down, and finally recorded one of them.

nice work...

i love the hv30, great job man!
eladbari 1 year ago

Fine Fine work, buddy!
do u have magic hands or something? cause youre pretty stable with the camera there! on 2:10 it seemed to me, that u were motion tracking that bug using AE or something..hehe..but i guess im wrong :]
Matthew Brown 1 year ago

Haha, no AE or any of that stuff. I thought when I got the camera that it would be really hard to stabilize because of how small it is, but just as long as I keep it off 24p I can do really smooth shots with it. In post I can just render it as 24p, so it'll still get the "film rate" down. Thanks for the comment man!

That bee shot is ridiculous. After seeing that you're going to end up getting me stung trying to get something similar. I really need to get my hv30 out more.

Man that is out of control ... awesome work

Amazing what you have done with that camera! When the bee flies off, you really were focused and managed to capture the flight :o)

beautiful.
Anthony 1 year ago

is the 'slow-mo' done in post?
Anthony 1 year ago

what was your workflow? How was it shot?
Matthew Brown 1 year ago

Hey man! Yeah the video's slow motion was done in post. I shot it at 1/2000 in TV mode with manual white balance of course. I guess I'm not sure what you mean by workflow, haha.
JB Jacobs 1 year ago

wow, some really cool shots in there. Just got the HV30 as well and love it!

so said "you keep it off off 24p and then just render it as 24p..."

So what mode were you shooting in then?

Awesome video BTW!
Ashley Harrison 1 year ago

Great video! Seattle looks like an amazing place. The first bee shot was awesome! I would have been running for the hills once that thing turned around.
metzAnima 1 year ago

Hey Man! Great work, truly inspiring! Specially the nature shots, WOW. Ive been considering on buying a sony sdr11/12 but after all these amazing hv20/30 shots im changing my mind! Thanx!!
Matthew Brown 1 year ago

Hey thanks man! Yeah, the camera is pretty amazing. Even the small size can work to your advantage by getting into the smallest places to shoot.
Airam F. 1 year ago

Film isn't my expertise but I think this video is stunning. Your work is simple. It brings out what's beautiful and inspiring in a lot of ordinary things. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Adam Purcell 1 year ago

Great footage. I particularly loved the tracking backwards through the 1:30. I know you saw that and said, "NIIIIIIIICE." I just got the Letus35mini for my HV30 and I'm posting soon. The macro work is unbelievable.

Quick question: What track is that? Good pick.
Matthew Brown 1 year ago

Hey thank you! I can't wait to see what you post! Is the Letus worth it? I might go grab one myself. The track on the video is "Take Me Into Your Skin" by Trentemoller. I did edit the song down, so the melody is actually a little bit different in the full song.
Adam Purcell 1 year ago

I think so. In fact I'm going to also buy a rail system at some point. But I'm just loving the gorilla film-making feeling I get when I hold the thing. As a peice of equipment, the letus is pretty solid and I like what I'm getting with it a lot. Overall, I'm impressed. Given your talent I'd like to see what you'd do with one. I'll post soon, I'm just messing around with color correction and then I'll get it up.

Whoa. beautiful video I'll have to say.

this is the kind of videos that I just love to watch, the're exciting, beautiful and they don't even need a real story to be told to keep me watching. thank you, I really like it.
Matthew Brown 1 year ago

Thank you! I'll hopefully have a story to go along with the imagery very soon. thanks for taking the time to check it out!
Paul Davis 1 year ago

Asbolutely beautiful work!

List of things to do:

1) Purchase an HV30
2) Purchase Sony Vegas

=D
Matthew Brown 1 year ago

YAY! You won't be disappointed!
Paul Davis 1 year ago

Can you call my wife and explain to her WHY I need these two items? =D
Sami Takieddin 1 year ago

Beautiful. A lot of the imagery *feels* 3D. The macro shots are brilliant. The bee shots floored me :) You're very talented my friend.

Simon Fjellheim 1 year ago

I've just bought the hv30, and the quality is great on the cam's lcd-screen, but when I transfer the video to my computer it gets messed up... (I'm also using just the cam and Sony Vegas)

How do you manage to keep the quality after transfering it to the computer?
Christopher Ruffell 1 year ago

I looove that song.. I've been thinking the last 2 months on what I could shoot to do it justice.. and Matthew, great video!

Das Svobodas 1 year ago

Wow! Is it just HV30, or HV30 with DOF? Great focus, great cut!
Aaron Reason 1 year ago

I feel like your a Giant Liar! You have to be really using a RedOne with a Steadicam and a Jib.

I am loving all your stuff Matthew!
olaf h. ☞ nadu 11 months ago

looks great, nice subtle focussing, sometimes it`s a little bit like a dof-fake, interesting to see that you know all about this cam .)
Matthew Brown 11 months ago

DOF Fake? haha. What do you mean? Thanks for the nice comment! I still have a lot to learn about the camera, though. I hope your holidays are going well!
Matthew Brown 8 months ago

Oh, now I think I know what you mean. Do you think I created some depth of field stuff on post by blurring out part of the images? It's actually all in camera. Zooming in and messing with the manual focus will achieve actual shallow depth of field.
olaf h. ☞ nadu 7 months ago

yes, i first thought of the virtual lenses in magic bullet.
...so respect, well done...!

this is a great video post, it looks like the comercials of a plasma tv in sony stores, maybe you should send it to a sony o0r canon or any of that stores. This video is one of the reasons that sugested me to buy a HV30, great job pal!!
