Now I have had Canon HV20 with me, and I was very much exited to have my hands on it! And I have had chance to compare both!

I shoot one wedding party with Canon HV20, I surprise how this cheaply made small camera can produce stunning video! Here is 10 minuts clip follow below link:

Hv20 Grabs from Rome
 

Hey guys. Sometime I visited Rome and I took my Hv20 with me. Here are some grabs:

Here's some grabs I exported from the footage I shot with the HV20

Experimental edit clip
 

I had the idea of creating an entire music track and video in one just using the audio from random video footage I had on my hard drive. It kind of worked.. The melody at the start (if you could call it that and if you can ever hear it) is just camera noise from the HV20 with the pitch of each individual edit adjusted in Vegas. Then I found a few clicks and pops in the video which I used for the kick/snare/hat kind of beat.. some fireworks explosions too...

Anyway, it was worth a try. Could probably come up with something better if I spent more time on it. But still, always fun working on the music and video simultaneously in the one program..

HV20: Are You Smarter Than a 3 Yr Old? (autofocus sample)
 

Howdy folks.

I know this isn't High Def footage being on YouTube and all, but it does demo the HV20s autofocus ability.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01fmqFtH72g

adorable! smart kid ya got there. what would she say if you showed her this?
http://bp1.blogger.com/_oN9JKU8o5dI/...an_combine.jpg


is this instant AF or reg AF. i had to turn off instant because of my lens hood. wish theyd move that sensor...


vimeos even a better place to post. i think we're all in love with it. down with youtube!

LOL dude. That hurt m eyes. I believe it was instant auto focus, but I'll fire up the camera later and verify. I haven't changed it since I shot the footage.

I also post my videos on http://virb.com/dewde. Virb has better resolution than YouTube but probably not as good as Vimeo. Microsoft has a new technology called Silverlight that supposedly competes with Flash in several areas... one of them being high def video streaming. I've seen some impressive demos but to date I havent seen any companies build a video sharing site on the technology platform.

In any event, video sharing is here to stay. And that's good for you and me!

Vimeo here I come.
 

I took the Vimeo plunge. Here are 3 different hosted versions of the same file.

Cool thing about Vimeo is you can download the original?. Nice.

Cool thing about Virb is that it renders text better. Pay attention especially during the "white text on pink" scenes in between video.

This truly is amazing!

It's like that human beat box video on youtube... but much less annoying :p

HV30 Footage of Brazilian Dancers in Haifa
 

Here's some shots from the Purim Festival on 21 Mar 2008 in Haifa. The colours from this little cam still amaze me, but I just wish it I had been able to get a ND filter before I came here.

Nice work, Richard. As an new HV30 user, can I ask you what settings - mode, image effect etc - you used for this?
Practising in bright sunshine today on the HV30, I was missing the built in ND filter on my XH-A1, and sunshine here in March ain't nuffin' compared to Haifa.

Hi Colin, thanks. Yes I've got an XH-A1 as well, but it was a bit bulky to bring along this trip.

For these HV30 shots, I used 25P, Tv mode and tried to use 1/50s shutter. However it was a very bright day and since I do not have any ND filter, for a lot of the shots I had to set the shutter to 1/250s. I also think that Tv mode tends to overexpose most of the time, so I usually hit the exposure lock and drop the exposure by 2 or 3, until only the brightest parts are showing 100% zebra. Sounds troublesome, but it's quite fast once you get used to it.

Richard

Thanks for that info Richard.
It's great that the HV30 has the zebra function but I wish it had something in between 70 and 100%. Maybe you have shown me a way round that.

Hi Colin. Sorry I gave wrong info about the camera mode. This footage is actually 50i, because there was a lot of other stuff going on at that festival and I am planning to apply slomo to some of it. The rest of what I said is correct though.

This is from another shooting for the doc I am doing. I took some B-Rolls with HV20 but they look even better sometimes than what operator took with Z1.

Here's some footage. I'm still struggling with compression to be able to upload 720p on vimeo.com. Everything looks way too dark and lacking detail...I really wish there was a way to upload a full quality 1080. This way you would really be able to see how amazing it looks.

Here's the link: http://www.vimeo.com/839879

I wish I could have spent more time in Rome and I also wish I had a tripod with me.

Music Video with the HV20/IOHD
 

here's a music video I just finished up. I used an A1 for the live action stuff, and an hv20 and iohd for all the green screen comp stuff. (I'd have used the hv20 for everything, but it couldn't get as wide as I'd have liked for the interior stuff)

I edited in FCP and did all the compositing/FX using Motion.

It's in 720p on Vimeo.

http://www.vimeo.com/1006430

Wow...EXCELLENT work on the effects!!!

Just morbidly curious...how many post production hours do you have into this?

1000ish... Probably closer to 2000ish for the entire project. And I did literally everything... Creative concepts Shooting editing graphics etc. My bro helped for a day or two to cut some cityscapes out until it bogged his g5 down too much.

I started prepro in mid dec shot most of the city plates in early jan, shot the green screen in feb and finished the live action stuff in march/April. So yeah I lost count a while ago but about 5 mos of pretty grueling stuff. And I learned the limits of the FCS workflow pathways which cost me many many hours if not weeks.

My first music video clip of an indie rock band
 

At last, it happened. My first music video clip. This is the best I could do with the amount of footage I had in my disposal (I shot only 2/3s of a tape as we were there for less than two hours). View in HD, or download the high quality HD version of the video here: http://vimeo.com/1036463

Paintball shot with HV10
 

Here is a weekend of paintball that I shot with a HV10.

Please right click and "Save Target As!"

Really good footage, can you share your camcorder settings.

Besides change exposure for a lot of the shots I had the shutter set too 1/1000.

HV30 + close-up lens
 

Here is a short video with the HV30 in 30p mode. I used a 35 year old set of close-up lenses made by Vivitar that were relics from my first 35mm camera. Depth of field was extremely narrow and of course the instant autofocus had to be shut off. The spider scene was zoomed in during post.
