XH-A1 + Brevis35 - First Footage - HD
6 months ago
I received my Brevis35 yesterday and managed to find some time today to shoot some footage with it and my A1.
Lens used is a Nikon 50mm that I borrowed from my wife, Katie, who also kindly agreed to appear in this video. Well .... I told her afterwards that I'd be posting it on here ;)
I'm quite happy with the results.
Let me know your thoughts/feedback/critique.

I just got my Brevis back from getting it upgraded to MP.1. Once I get a decent NLE I am gonna post on this site too.
The other thing that tipped me towards the Brevis was a lot of the people I look up to and admire use it. With the exception of Philip Bloom I guess ... he seems to favour the Letus and his stuff is mindblowingly good.
Hmmm Brevis or Letus? More thought needed now.
your shooting style is awesome
Brevis, Letus, RedRock or other, I stay undecided... everyone states the one he owns is the best :)
I'll have to save some money.
That last shot: nice. It inspires me to try some B&W experiments.
I think all the adapters are pretty cool. I've seen some awesome footage from all 3 of the ones you mentioned. Mostly I guess it comes down to which is the best ... but also personal preference - i.e. I prefer Canon cameras like the XL2 and the XH-A1 and I really don't like the Sony cameras. That doesn't mean the Sonys aren't good cameras - I just prefer the Canons.
Guys like Philip Bloom are producing mind-blowing stuff with the Letus adapters so I think it more comes down to how you use the tools you're given a lot of the time.
Thanks!
You're correct. The A1 doesn't have interchangeable lenses.
The Brevis35 attaches to the front of the A1 and then you attach a 35mm lens to the Brevis.
I love that subtle side light.
PS. Everybody loves felix the cat hahaha 00:06
Just loved it.
Sent you a message with some info.
Cheers,
Matthew.
It is very nice and is leaning me more towards a brevis..
I live in Brisbane now, and am looking at getting the same setup, hence how I found your video...small world.

I have a question about the premiere 2.0 - i have the same xh-a1 and premiere and I dont get so good quality as you - how doe you do that? which settings are you using when you begin a new project in adobe and how doe you export it? please help me :) (I have at the moment a 35 mm adapter from a friend and I wanna get really good quality..)
thanks manuel

Yeah, I added the vignette myself. The DOF is amazing - it's impossible to get such shallow DOF with a bare camera.
Regarding rails, I'd recommend you use rails if you're combining an adapter with your A1 - just to be safe.
Hope that helps.
Just amazing man.
I have a similar set up to yours. Would you please also send me info on how you achieved such outstanding footage through premiere 20, and the A1 presets you used for this work.
Thank you so much for your inspiration!
