Trailer Shot With XH-A1

Hi everyone. This is a 2 minute trailer I shot with my XH-A1 for a film of mine called Kragtown. I had to film the entire thing in one day so some of the shots are not too great but the night shots should give you a good idea of what it's like filming with this camera in total darkness with 2 1k lights.

I really enjoyed watching your trailer! At first I thought it was kinda serious, but then realized it was more of a comedy (unless it was supposed to be serious, in which case, sorry).

I was definitely amused, and was also impressed by the image quality. It looks great!

What did you use to get those moving shots at the beginning (and throughout the film)?

Thanks - yeah, it's not written to be a comedy, but no worries, it was filmed super fast and it's just a no budget concept trailer. If filmed as a movie, it will have a much higher quality to it.

The intro shots of the ghost town were filmed using a Merlin steadicam.
