    ?
  • rich savage 11 months ago
    I used 2 500w work lights. They cost £5 each.

    Looks great, the images from the sgpro look amazing, i am really looking forward to getting mine. Also, did you do the gain trick?
  • rich savage 11 months ago
    No. Usually i plug into my laptop while filming and run "HDV Data" - a program that tells you your gain and aperture settings. Really useful, but my laptop broke, so this time I just hooked up an HDTV and made sure the grain didnt get too high, just by looking at the image.
  • Kristoffer Jansson 11 months ago
    HDV data requires MPEG2 Codec. What kind of codec do you use? And where can I get it ? :P
  • rich savage 11 months ago
    Thats the exact error i get. It used to work all the time, but I started getting that error on teh day of the shoot - and havent managed to fix it. if you can find out why, please tell me!

    Beautifully shot, and very sharp! I also love the lighting; sets a nice mood.

    What sort of lenses are you using? I've been watching all your videos, and I've noticed that your vignetting is minimal. You see, I also have an HV20 + SGPro and I'm using Nikkor lenses (50 1:1.8, 28 1:2.8, 135 1:3.5). No matter what, I get a lot of vignetting and grain (even with my exposure locked and the blade spinning), and even though people say that the SGPro is made for larger cameras and thus the HV20 is more prone to vignetting, your videos are still so crisp with such little vignetting that it seems to say otherwise.

    Do you have any tips or pointers as far as settings go? Am I maybe not zooming in or setting up the camera the right way? Any thoughts at all would be most appreciated.
  • rich savage 11 months ago
    Im using Canon prime lenses - nearly the same spec as you. The less light you have, the worse the vignetting, so make sure you blast everything with light (HV20's haev smal sensors too, so the more light the better. Also notice that I always add black bars - this hides alot of the vignetting. When the vignetting is particularly bad, I use Magic Bullet to decrease it. You set up a circular mask, and turn up the exposure for the edges.

    Ah, okay, that is actually pretty clever stuff. It seems you've really thought this through--thanks for the pointers!
  • rich savage 11 months ago
    Oh, and i should point out, the super close ups of the projector wasnt using the SGpro. Instead (you'll love this), just screw the achromat from the SGpro onto the HV20, and you can do SUPER closeups. Its amazing.
  • Jonathan Wing 11 months ago
    Oh man, seriously? Dude, you're a genius. I should be experimenting more and figuring this stuff out, too. But thank you for your insight... those are some cool ideas.

    Nice shoots. Do you use diffusers on your lights? Also, the HDV Data software appears only to work with PAL HV30.
  • rich savage 10 months ago
    Yeah its PAL only, but luckily im in the UK.

    No diffusers on the lights, i want to make a softbox at some point beacuse i think that could be a lot better.
