Guerilla35 + DVX100a Footage
 
Hello all,

I received my G35 prototype yesterday, and have since been doing random, around the house kinds of tests. This footage isn't of anything too thrilling, but I intend to take my gear around with me tomorrow to get some more diverse footage.

This is a roughly 3 minute video, in 480x360 or the full 720x480 resolution. But before I get to the links, here's a bit about what I used:

Camera:
DVX100a

Scene File Settings:
Detail Level: -2
V Detail Level: -7
Detail Coring: -7
Chroma Level: +4
Chroma Phase: -7
Color Temp: +4
Master Ped: -15
A.Iris Level: -2

Gamma: Cine-Like_V
Knee: (Auto)
Matrix: Norm
Skin Tone Dtl: On

V Detail Freq: Thick
Progressive: 24P(ADV)

Lens:
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF Nikkor

And here's the video:

480x360: Long.mov - 16 MB, 480x360

720x480: Long-Full.mov - 30 MB, 720x480

So, until next time when I have more footage!

Looking really good!

Stephen Sawchuk January 12th, 2006 10:59 PM

I forgot to post more updates here. I shot another video, which is a little more "cinematic" than the last. Feel free to check it out:

VIDEO #2 - "Car"

480x360: Car.mov - 16 MB, 480x360

720x480: Car-Full.mov - 30 MB, 720x480

More coming soon!

Looking good man! Esp the part of the car coming to a stop. The film look is there. Good job.

Saturnin Kondratiew January 13th, 2006 01:50 AM

the car one looks great...

Dennis Wood January 13th, 2006 07:11 AM

Ditto on the car flick...loved the look.

whats g35
 
Whats is Guerilla35? a software?

Wayne Kinney January 13th, 2006 08:54 AM

It is a lens adapter like my SG35 that allows you to use 35mm lenses on a camcorder to acheive the same DOF and FOV as real 35mm camera's. Give a nice film look.

I agree, the car vid was great. Loved the look from both the G35 and the color settings.

Stephen Sawchuk January 13th, 2006 10:37 AM

Thanks, everyone.

I've got yet another new video. This one is all inside-the-car, out-the-window footage. It's 4 minutes long, and gets a little repetitive, but it's still all amazing to look at.

Quick Info

As the video progresses, the sunlight fades away into complete darkness, so you'll be able to see how the G35 handles itself outside.

I applied some color correction, but in the best interest of seeing how the G35 performs, I didn't darken, or brighten any areas. Only the colors were altered.

I wasn't able to get a full-res version up this time, but I do have a 480x360 up, which is still quite a large viewing area.

VIDEO #3 - "Drive"

480x360: Drive-3.mov - 29 MB, 480x360

Let me know what you think!

Mark Wisniowski January 13th, 2006 10:41 AM

Thanks a bunch for uploading these wonderful tests !

Cody Dulock January 13th, 2006 11:40 AM

footage looks good.

on a side note: there is alot of "halo-ing" around the lights at night time... do you think your settings are off or something?

Tyler Baptist January 14th, 2006 11:04 PM

Wow! All these tests look amazing!! I think I'm in love with the G35. Hahaha.

Car video
 
Nice look with the car ,,,how did you get the shots to be fast in some places and slow in others ? That look is nice ..

I use mostly PCs and I want to know how to acheive that fast/slow look

Cheers Al

Hey Al,

Thanks. For the slowing-down, speeding-up of the car video, I actually only ever sped-up the video in certain spots. The other parts are played out at regular 24P speed. And when I sped up, it was at random amounts: like 200% here, 400% there.

I just uploaded some new grabs and a video from an educational dog training video I'm doing for a local company.

Here's some technical info, and the links:

Camera:
DVX100a

Scene File Settings:
Detail Level: 0
V Detail Level: 0
Detail Coring: 0
Chroma Level: 0
Chroma Phase: +4
Color Temp: -4
Master Ped: 0
A.Iris Level: +3

Gamma: Cine-Like_V
Knee: Low
Matrix: Cine-Like
Skin Tone Dtl: On

V Detail Freq: Thin
Progressive: 24P(ADV)

Lenses:
Nikon 35mm f/2.0 Nikkor
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF Nikkor

For 10 grabs, go over here.

For a video:

480x360: Pups.mov - 12.5 MB, 480x360

And in case there's any confusion, this is the static G35 prototype, without any vibrating parts.

Thanks again to everyone =)

Bill Porter March 27th, 2006 08:04 AM

I commend you on sharing your camera settings. So often people post little or nothing. Good job!

Will Hanlon March 27th, 2006 10:35 PM

Is the G35 image upsidedown like the M2 and GS35?

Theodoros Chliapas March 28th, 2006 01:36 AM

Yes it is.

Stephen Sawchuk March 28th, 2006 05:44 PM

Thanks, Bill. Sharing the settings is part of the fun. I've received some helpful feedback by posting them up.

And Will, as Theodoros confirmed, the image is upside down. You have to use a strategically placed magnet to flip the image on the display.
