Astute, yes i used a 35mm adapter
nice, but feels a bit like a car commercial... which is sort of a compliment as that's the only kind of commercial where they really seem to focus on great cinematography.
Great techniques used here. I learned a lot by watching .
I use the Letus Extreme
Video molto bello!
So to compensate i added some green.
Then i lowered a little bit the blacks which are never really black in the XH A1.
Nicely shot, I like it a lot.
i've been the lugano quite a few times (my father used to work there). it is a beautifull city and from a skateboarders view: i love the smooth pavements haha.
there is a 1 million swiss franks costing skatepark in lugano at the sportpark (soccer field) next to a cinema. i'm sure you'll be albe to make great shots there too.
The HVX has easier colors (they look fantastic out of the box, has better codec and this is only visible on fast camera moves and subject moves. The image remains clean, stable, very stable)
HDV (XHA1) is nice until you have fast moves. The codec almost breaks and your brain notices something weird, not constant, not cliean. And the XHA1 has stronger colors, which is good, but it's really hard to create a look with it. But it's possible with some work.
What i like of the XHA1 is the lower noise and the better resolution.
In this price range the only cam that seems to beat the XHA1 for resolution and noise is the Sony EX1, but i hate it's latitude and colors.
I love the Kodak 250D film combined with an Arri.... hehehe!!!
The real resolution start in many questions, the first is the how much pixels have in CCD/Cmos. Some camcorders have 1920x1080 captured file but the Sensor have only 800x1080. No have miracles. Do you know how much resolution the HVX200 has ?
It has 3 x 920px ccds, now matter how they shift them, the resolutions is this one, even if in the white paper they demonstrate that it can deliver a full hd image. It's a lie.
If you work for SD, the HVX resolution is good, but still and always soft.
When you see some commercials, shot with 35mm film, all that resolution, somehow is perceptible from a SD monitor.
In other words, the more the starting resolution, the better quality, even if you work in SD.
The market is moving fast, i would never recommend an HVX now. This year we could have great new cams coming out, with tons of resolution and quality.
Your work is a perfect example of the relative importance of the type of camera used. I'm far more impressed by your talents as a cinematographer than by resolution, although I have to admit I'd love to see your skills at work on a RED.
Cheers!
Your focus racking is really good. Do you use any follow focus wheels? And what lens and f-stops did you use?
I'm inspired.
Nikon Nikkor 85mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.4, 24mm f/2.8
music just fit perfectly :]
looks like a "chill" sunday :]
