Shot with HV30 w/ WA lens.
I was being pulled on a doorway dolly while holding the tripod.

Let me know what you think.

Christian Nachtrieb · May 27th, 2008, 02:12 PM

Ok Jimmy thanks for the comments I appreciate that.

Jim Miller · May 27th, 2008, 02:56 PM

Very nice. Great color too. But, who can afford to drive one these days.

Jim Miller · May 27th, 2008, 05:49 PM

This is a new edit of a B/W music video I shot last year. There are new clips and a lot of cc. I'm trying to get better at this so your comments are welcome.

Enjoy

Hey man, fantastic video and song....

The only thing that I would change / take out would be the shot of the little girl that is keyed out at the end... It seems to fit well with the preceding shots but the 'halo' effect around her is distracting... If you can 'choke' that key down a little or color correct the blue it would become less noticeable... or you could desaturate it and really crush the blacks and that would make it fit a little better...

Just a couple different ways to deal with it....

Overall, great video man... Very impressive...

Jim Miller · May 28th, 2008, 05:28 AM

Thanks, I struggled with that one a bit but thought leaving a little halo gave her an angelic look. I'll have to give it some more thought based on you comments. thanks again

My wife and I walked around for an hour and there was probably 20-30 minutes of footage. It's been edited down to 1 minute and almost every clip is colour graded using Sony Vegas Pro 8 on an iMac running Boot Camp and Windows XP. The RBG is in Southern Ontario.

Here is a little footage from my summer vacation riding motorcycles. We didn't have a lot of time to shoot since we were riding hard - 5500 miles in 10 days but it's enough to appreciate the fantastic cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde park in southwestern Colorado. Vividrgb preset.
Enjoy

Here's another short clip from my summer ride to the great southwest.
On the run - riding hard - 5500 miles in 10 days .

Not much time to shoot but the A1 held up great in hot, dusty weather.

Hello everyone
I am writing on behalf of a friend whose account has not yet been enabled for posting...

Here is the link of his last short movie, shot with a Canon XHA1:

http://www.vimeo.com/1078632

The language is Italian with a strong Naples accent. English subbed.

Any feedback will be appreciated... :)

Thanks for watching!

Doug Davis · May 29th, 2008, 04:11 AM

Hey man, great job... I liked the other video a little better mainly because of all the stable tripod shots...

I am really impressed with the voiceover... It was mixed very well and the audio was very crisp...

There was a little noise from the image but I think that was mainly due to the compression...

Overall, great videos man... Thanks for sharing...

Viimar Lindau · May 29th, 2008, 07:03 AM

Very nice video and beautiful place.
I felt like I'm watching National Geographic :)
As Doug already said, I'm also impressed with the voiceover you made. Both, story and voice were great.

Jim Miller · May 29th, 2008, 07:22 AM

Thanks for the comments. We shot on the run alot with little to no preparation. It was unfortunate that we couldn't spend more time in any given place. Often I just didn't have time to unpack the tripod and stage more scenes. It was so beautiful that I will return one day and take more time. These are clips from a video I put together for my friends and I to remember our adventure Of course I added the voice over later.

Yes, compression took it toll on the image somewhat and the colors are not as vibrant here but they translated to SD DVD just great. I was amazed at the quality you can get from the A1.

Dennis Murphy · May 29th, 2008, 02:14 PM

I thought that was nicely filmed and edited. I found it a bit too slow to start with, but it was worth the wait.
Well done!

Jeremy Nemeth · May 29th, 2008, 07:35 PM
