Wow is all I can say. That footage looks great. You are really bringing this 35mm X 2 thing up a notch, Oscar!
|
All is now one big blur.
|
nice!
summarizes everyones frustrations perfectly! congrats!

hey.,.. now you know how i felt when i was doing it and there were some many questions....
|
Just came across this clip and downloaded it. Is it supposed to have audio? It plays silent, and I don't see any audio track when I open it in Vegas. Looks interesting though. :)
Richard |
you missed 80% of the fun then! Get it to play the audio track, also! :)
|
More goofing around with this thing, until music video shoot this weekend...

steev:
where did you find him? can i have him when you're done? |
Steev,
Move the GG a touch closer to the lens so you don't get vigneting at all. Is not bad, but is there (a bit) You can do it , I can help... lol..... |
re: adapter-Steeeeve, She's a real beaut, I'll take two.
Gosh and you got so popular, so quick. Can I eat at the cool kid's table too? Liked the Bit with Kenny. Tell him I said "para diddle", not "touch your nipple". Frickin' cell phones. |

Wow… you could sell tickets.
|
Good for you Steev, good for you. Did you pull focus too? What lens?
|
Yeah, that was my ninja camera focus pulling verite circus act - an enlightening experience.
Lens - same contraption I've been using. |
What is the focal length and aperture on the lens (was it a 50/1.8?) Could you use one more ring to get the GG 1-2cm further away from the lens ;-)
|
It's a Takumar 55mm/1.8. The way the 16X manual lens works, it likes the Beattie screen right where it is. :) Come on XL2 owners. Rise! What's the "next" step? I've given up on improvement really. The ninja said I was ready.
|
OMG! That's my long lost father!
Daddy! |
Steev
I know I'm a bit late to this thread. BUT anyway I can talk you into a few pictures of you adaptor.. Also I take it that it's static? Looks very nice.. thanks
|
nice...
nice little ninja master street interview... Steev, you put together such an awesome device with some real good ideas. i'm currently working on (2) updated versions based on some of those ideas.
I've also come up with a prototype idea that would be more inexpensive and also be stronger/lighter/shorter in size. i haven't posted the schematics till i know it will work - but the design is exquisite. The most important thing about this model, is that it will work with a follow focus kit. i also just picked up a nice pana gs400, and using the same design, i'm also designed a micro dv lens adapter. basically, it should be itty-bitty with perhaps a fast/wide prime lens at the end. i hope to have it ready by summertime. ideas, ideas... stay tuned!! -dr |
never mind I found it...
never mind I found it... Thanks for the footage...
|
Market street?
Steve was your ninja footage shot in San Francisco. Are you from the bay?
|
Martin, yes, that was shot on Market street in SF.
Dino, your earlier discoveries helped me make my adapter. Thanks for the documentation you made. I heard from Stephen Birdsong that you guys were working on something together. Good to hear. Keep me posted here or on IM. |

Just in time for me to start building mine. I have an Optura Xi so it would probably be similar enough to the GS400 to work with slight differences right? |
steev ..what you doing man? I want what you got! you have a much better image then i ever got from my home made junk adaptor!! LOL are you selling? nija and drummer look really good...what is it? how can I get it?
|
Dude, damn riot . . . awesome. I think the best kind of humor at all is "inside joke" kind of humor. Most people just wouldn't understand how damn funny that really is. Gotta be a filmmaker. Great job.
|
Steev, I think you have a business brewing.
You start making those to sell and I'm sure you'd have some buyers... I'd consider it... ...As long as it'll work with my NVM7 VHS Camcorder. |
Steeve,
That was freaking FUNNNNY!. I laughed my head off men!. So does any of these guys that makes 35mm selling them or what? |
I'd totally offer up $250 to anyone who could make me one for a GL2. I'm usually a do-it-yourself kinda guy, and if no one wants to I'll probably resort to that, because really...who wants the gratification of using something you made yourself? Pfft...

And the funny thing here is(look two posts up)...I just finished making my own adapter for that much. And it works. How sad that I actually posted that....
|
I think that guy's a master in the ancient art of Bullshitsu.
|
Can you make one that fits the XL1s, how much including post and packing to the UK :-)

|
Steev! That was too precious! The chap really brought a ray of sunshine into what is a very overcast London morning - oh yes! .. Great camera work and DoF too.
Grazie |
Steev...
Just freaking funny... NOW For us that haven't shot on the street like you, can you give a little insight on how many hours, and any more on this kind of street video shooting. Because it looks like this was done while only one person was getting their shoes done. And there are different angles of the Shoe Shine Dr. So I was just wondering what would be involved that we might not realize... thanks
|
The Shoe Doctor piece was cut from about 8 minutes of shooting. That day I shot a total of 20 minutes, from which I also made the Ninja guy. It's all about constantly getting different angles, even though you risk losing moments while you're in the middle of "finding" your next shot. However, as you can see, I just use anything that seems compelling to me. So sometimes I end up using some of my "finding" shots. :)
|
WOW... Thanks
This is great, I might have to spend 20 minutes on the street and see what I might get... thanks again
|
Your videos have restored my faith in random shooting.
|
Steeve
Great Job Steeve!! I love all of the videos especially the Drummer video.
Its so cinematic!! Nice DOF. I'm pretty sure you are enjoying every second in shooting with it. Its well worth the effort. Let us know when it will be available in the market. I would be interested. thank you, Hari |
