nice

Beautiful. Did you compare adapters before you bought the brevis?

Cool

Wow, you used a whole tape for 30 seconds? Looks great though!

Thanks for the feedback - glad everyone likes!

I read up on adapters before buying, but no side by side comparisons. I like the low light loss of the Brevis and it was the right price ;0) Getting my flip and matte box soon.

I recorded directly to my laptop using On Location so no tape used! Looking forward to trying out an IO-HD and a Mac Book Pro for ProRes 4:2:2 recording and bypassing the HDV. Anyone using a setup like that for field recording?

The lens I used was a pretty cheap Canon EFS 17-85mm lens which vignettes pretty bad at 17mm. I was shooting at 1080i and had to crop in to 1280x720 to get rid of the vignette (still didn't get all of it) I'm going back in a couple weeks and I'm going to re-shoot the same scene using a faster 24mm 1.4 L or similar to get the shot at full 1080p. Another struggle was keeping the highlights from clipping. I had to constantly adjust the exposure during the hour and fix the jumps in post to try and hold the highlights as long as possible and still keep detail in the shadows. That little HV20 just doesn't have a ton of latitude... I think I'm also going to try a polarizer / graduated ND filter combo in the matte box to see if that helps with the colors and highlights. Any other tips for my next attempt?

SWEET!!! Thanks for the video....
