JVC HM600 Sample Footage/Thoughts

Noa Put · February 11th, 2013, 01:47 AM

Nice and sharp footage from Prague, but I see the waviness as well, especially at 02:05 in that extreme zoom from the city you see the whole image deforming a bit, something I see on all zoom shots, the further zoomed in, the worse it gets. Could it be that a stabilizer has been applied in post? I know that Edius stabilizer has that effect when you stabilize handheld footage.

The footage was stabilized with FCPx, so thats likely what you see there, I should upload a copy without any post work.

I found this funny Clip that was done in France on the JVC HM650/600 , Video quality looks great

I guessed right :) With these NLE stabilizers you have to be careful, they are ok to remove small jitter but when there is too much to compensate they tend to make your image wobble.

Some more test footage I shot over the past month on my HM600. REALLY loving this camera.

Nice job, Jody. I see you have a statue of Riff Raff. :)

I haven't been to Hamilton for many years. I used to go there every time there was a horse race meeting in the early 80s doing judicial filming.

I got a chance to shoot a decent timelapse outside my window, sadly we're not low enough to go under the trees, or high enough to go over, and It was tricky trying to figure out what to frame. I decided to use the anamorphic widescreen crop overly, and then I cropped my footage on export with compressor. I feel it came out not too bad!

Tim -

Can you give us the specs on your timelapse (aperture, shutter, interval, etc)?

Thanks,
Alan

It was one frame per 10 seconds for several hours (5 or 6? Can not remember exactly now) and I had it on auto iris auto shutter with fixed gain and fixed focus on the church roof.
