Commercial shot with HD 100
 

I shot a commercial for a FORD service center the other day and I was blown away with the camera's performance. I was even surprised at the selective focus I was able to achieve on some shots. Not to mention the color and detail.

The client, crew and everyone on location couldn't stop looking at the monitor. I was very pleased.

You can download a short clip here.

Hi Council,

I downloaded the clip to have a look but what codec did you use to encode. QT came up and said the codec didn't exist on my system.

Nice demo reel BTW...

Hmmm, I could play it on my Powerbook and QT reports HDV 720p30 for the format.

Nice clip Council, BTW, no sound, is that OK?

Got it, I changed the extention to m2t instead of MOV and then played it in WMP. Council, I'm sure your guys were thrilled with the quality. Camera was in motion and every hair accounted for.

Nice job. Was this shot with the 16x lens? If so, I am impressed with the quality of the lens, not to say your work as well, very nice.

Maybe you could put up the finished piece when it is done.

Hello mate,

couldn't download the clip but thought the demo reel looked damn interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Stephen:
The clip was exported out of FCP 5 as HDV 72030p. I wanted to keep it full rez so you guys could drop onto your timelines to check it out.
BTW I used your scene file for this shoot.
Daniel:
Yes this was shot using the stock 16X lens. I was surprised too. I can only imagine what the 13X looks like.

Paolo: I left the audio out when I exported. Trying to keep the file size down.
Greg: Try changing the file extention as Stephen did to .m2t see if that works.

I'll post the final spot and some .jpgs of the rig later today. Oh yeah and Thanks for the props on the demo reel too.

crap, i cant open this bad boy up, i'm on a PC i dunno if that has anything to do with not being able to view, any way you can export as a different file?

your demo looks great BTW really sharp!

I can't open. Don't even has a chance too rename it, just a "Q" with the questionmark on my middle of my screen. (I'm a PC guy)

Change the file extension to m2t.

It opens on my PC, but freezes about two seconds into the first scene.

Froze on my PC and I couldn't open it on my Mac in QT or in FCP. Hmm....

Hey PC GUYS Download fix
 

Hey PC guys Download by saving target as > Choose your location. then change extention to .avi. It worked for me!!! The shots look really nice Council!!! Which lens did you use for the shoot?

Sorry I did not read all the posts Council I notice that you did use the stock lens very well done indeed. Now I have to go and see your reel.

Mac guys will need "AppleHDVCodec" component installed in their Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime folder. If you have installed Final Cut Pro 5 it should be there. Apple HDV Codec is the wrapper that FCP5 holds 720P30 m2t in for editing.

If you don't have FCP5 installed, then try VLC or download MPEG Streamclip.

On my PC, when renamed to .avi file, it still freezes about two seconds into it.

wow i've tried all the extension changes, and it just is'nt working

is there a specific codec i need to play this? i've encountered this problem before with .mov files from a mac so i must be missing a codec, any help?
