HD1a Documentary
 

I just got back from japan where my Brazilian soccer team Internacional won the Club World Championship over highly favored Barcelona. Armed with my new HD1a I shot lots of footage and am now putting it all together into a documentary.

Here is the trailer. All Widescreen footage shot with the HD1a:

Looks great but could you please post the RAW HD material for us HD fans somewhere?

Well here is the trailer in not quite HD...but better than what you see on Google Video....but very compressed and it shows....

Lou,

I am also very interested in how the camera handles these sorts of action scenes, but the google compression doesn't.

Well honestly I hadn't practiced much with the hd1a before going on the trip.

The results on a DVD are better than I expected. I wasn't too comfortable with the camera during the game but as I said that was due to lack of practice, but in the end I was pleasently surprised with the quality and options it gave. Especially the size. I carried the camera all over Tokyo and Yokohama and it was very handy to just pull out of the pocket and film.

I did lose 1 important shot when I was in a crowd and went to review something...when I was scrolling thru images the joysticky type button failed me and instead of moving to the next image it deleted the image. I went to hit NO or EXIT (whatever it says) but the small button misunderstof the direction i was clicking and delted the file...I was pretty pissed.

I am having to edit on a MAC IMovies as I couldnt get any windows program do open the MP4s.

Night scenes are grainy but not that horrible...I mean for what its worth. If I can Ill post a full res clip.
