Edgemere - amatuer on the H1

Nathan Quattrini · February 23rd, 2007, 04:16 PM

Well here it is. My first 'real' usage of the H1 at work. I had about an hour and a half outside the house (the one we`ll be restoring at work) to just play with the camera since it was all of 46 degrees! Any and all critique welcome, be it framing, motion, etc. My thoughts/comments

- the second clip is very shaky due to a bad tripod head, and most likely my shaky hand, but the head wiggles alot even with a slight touch and it was at close to full zoom.
- these are random shots and not intended to be edited together, it was just practice but i thought to share and try and make something nice like I see in the sample clip section instead of just uploading a random clip. Thanks for the inspiration guys.
- I think the white balance was off, and i dare not take more time on this doing color correction as i am on the clock and it was supposed to be a quick practice....hard to tell someone that "quick" and "editing" don`t usually go in the same sentence.

those are all the excuses i have :D Hope you still enjoy it.

just shows the canon is a beautiful camera, with nice images. A real pity about the shaking tripod, its really noticable apart from its good. Nice music too. The main advice i can give you is this. Your eyes dont zoom, so dont use it, watch any hollywood movie and you will see they never use zoom, unless its very intentional, bet you never thought about that beore have ya :) Thanks for posting and keep giving us more footage please!

cheers.

i see what you mean, the one of the 'lantern' wasn`t supposed to last that long either...i just ran out of shots to fill the song out so I let it go. I`d have preferred more ECU shots but being the house is so old, there wasn`t much pleasant (even in its old form) to focus in on. Can`t wait until its restored.

Hi Nathan.
I've just watch your Edgemere house video, and I think it was nice.
I agreed with Andy on the shaking comments, but next time i guess it wont shake at all :)
It's a fine old house and the music was perfect together with the pictures you've captured. I liked your change of focus on details, I must admit, when I do this myself I get shaky pictures on tape.
I hope you will enjoy your camera as much I do with mine, and in my opinion, it's a great working horse.
I hope to see more of your videos on this site.

PS
I hope my Norwegian/English was understandable to you :)
