Thank you. I use the 36" version (it's the bottom right version on this page: indifocus.com/products_indisliderpro.htm)

I'm SO buying one like that!!!

Kyle, there is no difference in the optical capability of both cameras, they have identical chips. The only thing you are really losing, per se, by choosing the XHA1 is the ability to change lenses. If you are going to be primarily working with a 35mm adapter, it's a moot point. The XHA1 is superior in some ways to the XLH1 because there is a wider range on each preset parameter to fine tune an in-camera look and also having the iris control on a ring rather than a little wheel is a huge plus for me, at least. I intercut XLH1 and XHA1 footage easily.

I have done the forward stuff in my other short "After the Rain"....you can view it here: vimeo.com/716954

Someone else mentioned it and I agree - shoot a video of yourself in action with all the gear man! Nikons, indisliders, you name it!

As mentioned previously, I use an IndiSlider to simulate dolly movements.

Thank you. I used Adobe Premiere to edit but there's nothing specific about Premiere that couldn't be done on any other NLE for this kind of simple edit.

Font was some kind of typewriter font, don't remember exactly.

The music is from an online music library called killertracks.com

This music is not free but there are plenty of web sites out there that are free. I'll have to look at the composer details. I don't have that info at hand.

All of this was shot in my front yard and back yard. I live by a lake.

IndiSlider, see above posts with link.

You just need to open your eyes. There is beauty all around...

This is the best post here, I totally agree. I live in Brooklyn and I see heartbreaking beauty in so many areas of the city.

Walking helps :)

The only post work I did on this piece was to adjust the levels to bring the blacks up a little. I did no actual color manipulation. The preset I used is on I developed called VIVIDRGB and is available at DVInfo.net in the XHA1 preset thread.

thanks for the quick response.
Ill have to check this out, I'm going out to Jacksonhole, Wyoming and bringing my A1 with me.
Ill have to try out your preset because the colors are amazing.


Quick question on your indislider as well,
Do you need the bogen adapter for the indislider because i see there are like 3 or 4 different packages for the 36" one?

i thought the shorts were kind of cute! it kind of, to me anyways, seemed like a "I'm done with winter thing". i could just be imagining this because here we've gotten an incredible amount of snow and i want it to leave, but i'm sticking to my thoughts :D

All Nikons:
24mm f2.8
50mm f1.8
100mm f2.8

GP, it's just a hell of a lot easier to set up than dolly tracking. Plus, it's not always practical to lay track for short runs. Of course the limitation is you've got less than three feet to move so it's great for specific applications but certainly won't replace a dolly.

I watched your video, it looks really good. You managed to capture some really crisp pictures.

It's nice that you noticed that :)
