New HD100 Short - "The Fixer"
 

hey everyone -

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but work has been running me around a bit.

I shot this with the hd100, 24p with the stock lens. I used Paolo’s TC3 settings since the director wanted to control the look in post - it worked out rather nicely. Kinos, arri kit for the interiors - shinys through 250, bounces and an 8x silent frost for the exteriors. I tried to keep it real simple, since we only had about 12 hours to shoot - can't be too hard on a free cast and crew. (:

This site has been a great resource - thanks to all who contribute. This was a fun piece to shoot, I hope everyone enjoys it.

Fernando, that was cool, bien bacano, hermano. Love the colors. Please take me through the process of shooting HDV 720p 24p and then converting to uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2. I have an HD2000U too, and I want to do that with all my videos.

I'm glad that you like it, tomorrow I'm gonna post the whole conversion process with screenshots, I came with my own workflow because all the guides here in the forum doesn't explain really well how to convert 24p material that FCP can edit without hassles

Here's the setting for converting hdv 24/30p to 8-bit, the only tools you need are DVHSCap and MPEG Streamclip

Wait I'm confused I thought you could only have 4:2:2 when you are actually recording the material meaning you need some hardware, I didn't know you could do that after you had shot in 4:2:0....is that what's going on here or am I confused?

You are right, the material is recorded in 4:2:0 but I found that is easier to handle and process video in 8-bit uncompressed (try to CC a clip in HDV and render, do the same thing in 8-bit, you will see the diference), another aditional benefit is: you are processing video with a better codec and that means less compression artifacts and better quality to processed clips.

Music Video with HD110e
 

Here's a myspace version of the video i did for the band "Cedar Falls" from Liverpool.

It was my very first music video and i learned a LOT from making it, and this forum, mostly Tim Dashwood's posts.

Any comments would be greatly received!

Shooting another one this weekend which should be more fun.

Is this an update of the video u post a couple of months back? I like this - u seem to have done some re-editing. Good work 4 ur first. Can't wait to see ur next.
regards
Drew

Hi Drew,

yeah it's an updated version, spent a bit mroe time colour correcting and the sort.

Thing is as soon as i finished editing it i spotted all the faults and things i could have done better straight away, and now it looks very amateurish to me!

But that's all part of the learning process i suppose. Next one will be my first shoot at 50p so should be interesting.

Cheers for comments,

Neil

That looked great, really profesional the sound was great too, what did u mic it with? Alsowhat were ur compression settings? That was the best HD i've seen on youtube...

Thanks Jamon. The mic was a pretty standard senniser shotgun, an mkh 416, I think. The sound op went tru a mac and recorded to HD but in the end he just used the sound from the tape.It was conformed on a premier based system after an QT export from FCP. I dont know who put it on youtube so I dont know the compression.
