I am in :-)

wo steht denn "normale kamera"? :-)

it s a great combo, i love it :-)

see for yourself, the straight out of cam identical is here:http://www.vimeo.com/1279106

the sky was amazing, some stormclouds where drifting over the place with some special light in it.

i used apples COLOR, where i have some presets of nice curve-settings, i flip throug them and let me surprise what makes the picture more pleasing. no real correction therefore, just a play-around.

i thought i would stick more to the machines first, but it was tyering a bit by time; to have people in the frame is realy great :-)

thanx :-)
spotlight adds no gain 4 sure; i dont use any other setting mostly.
ok, when i am indoors; i think cinemode is ok.

thanx :-)
but lets not talk about "correction", its colorizing/contrasting for fun. eventhough i am starting to know apples COLOR better with lessons from DVD etc. i am just "Curving" around to see what works on the pics.
sometimes desaturation is fine, sometimes contrast brings something in it.
i am waiting to make something with a story, cuase its realy great with what "affordable" stuff beautiful pictures can be made :-)

Apples COLOR, just using the curves in it; its realy easy; photoshop-like. i am learning more right now in it.

just colorizing around with curves :-)

you forgot whitney :-)
owen wilson, your right, i didnt recognize him.....:-)

A+ on the shots!


i dont think thats owen wilson? could be a tom petty or even brad pitt......the wall of stars seem to be from the late 80s early 90s era...

sorry for late answering, didnt notice your post.
now i know that its brad pitt, from his movie "7 years in tibet", and your right, must be that period you said :-)

ND works well 4 me so far; apples COLOR 4 the enhancing.
never used a pola, have to check that out once :-)

your right, this time no creamy sound-sauce over it....
you gotta love the sound of the propeller at 00:22 :-)

check out

thanx; lets say "colorizing"
grading seems more "pro" ;-)

mark, it was a manfrotto with a 503HDV-head.
as u can see, there are not so many movments in the clip; i realized that its not as easy as i thought. but i will learn to manage that ;-)

Looks great. Now I'm thinking of returning my Matthews m25 and getting the 503HDV-head instead.

i never ever dare to go on that ride, too much vertigo :-)

besides some self-build adapters that i have stummbled upon on the web; i dont know any cheaper ones.
i have seen some ok-pictures from selfbuilt ones; but this would never be something for me.

my thoughts on adapters: they cost not much more then a HV20, lenses are cheap on ebay; the FUN ENHANCES using an adapter ;-)

before, videofilming was when i really had to take a shot, or go for something i wanted to do.
now its like going out with a camera, when everything starts to look interessting. well, but thats something you might know allready.

maybe you find second-hand adapters; like i own a redrock and dont use it anymore....

Hey man,

Thanks for the advice - I guess you're right that I have to either spend or build...

As far as second-hand adaptors go - would you be at all interested in selling the Redrock that you don't use any more? Could it be used with a HV20? I'd credit you on all my films!

cheers,

jason

I am not so sure, but i guess it will work with a redrock; i am thinking about selling it, yes. Its nearly complet, there is one little thing i took from the basplate ( a roids-clamp-thing) that i lost in the brevis set-up. i didnt reorder it, cause the shipping alone from USA to switzerland did cost 60 dollars; the part itself is some 40 dollars.

check out on the redrock-page how a setup with the HV20 would be. I have the Package with a standard-macro-lens and a HD-Macro-Lens. Its not containing the flip-module.

contact me via
gleichstrom{at}gmx.ch

BTW
some guys build and sell theyr adapters, could also be a possible, cheaper way....

Yeah - I saw the homebuild guide on the RedRock site... Sounds quite appealing financially, but also quite a lot of time involved to get it right I'm sure.

How much roughly would you be asking for the Redrock kit without the rails? I checked it out and the HV20 is listed on their compatibility page...

cheers,

jason

Any idea on a rough price for the Redrock? I've been paid for a few jobs recently, and am keen to get my hands on a 35mm as soon as I can!

If you're not keen to post the price online, you can send me an email through the Contact page on my website (www.Opticalism.com).

Cheers,

jason

thanks!
your right, she was asking if the adapter also could have been used with here little sony-camcorder.
this is shot on my canonHV30; and i am so glad that the rolling shutter hasnt appeared a long time ;-)
yesterday i did shot some new stuff; on tripod and handheld. i hope it turned out as well. will cut it and upload in a few days.
the HV30 and also the brevis is kick ass :-)

ähm, and that bloke was me.......;-)

well, that live-band was playing "the riddle" by nik kershaw, so you are close ;-)

this is also the most favourited part of near all my friends :-)

well, thanks. for the colors in every video: i do have now a great palettes of "presets" to step trough, and see what would be nice to wich shot, then i can make some little adjustments. this works best for me.

if i ever will do a real "story", i never would change the "look" that often. for now its just fun.

in another forum i have seen a guy saying that hes found a much better tripod; maaybe you can get some info out of that page:

hackermovies.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?sid=&f=10127&t=85502&hilit=manfrotto

som far im confident with my tripod.

Thanks for the links. Gonna watch the 3 of them. I don't want to buy the tripod available in psysical shops. I only want the best tripods online.

thanks for your enthusiasm ;-)
i export my HDV mostly direct from timeline with apples "compressor". but maybe i did this with "mpg streamclip", realy dont know anymore.
maybe it seems more "crisp" cause of the manipulating of contrast and color afterwards?
well, what cam do you have? upload something, so i can see how your quality looks....

well, they need to have a size of 1280/720, yours are too small to be HD. cant recall my settings now, but if you download a clip of mine, you can see the data rate etc. in the information window of your player.

merci!
hab die bilder mit apples COLOR bearbeitet :-)
