More PFVision stuff... very interesting.
Hey guys,
I posted a short clip of PF vision that I had modified at a wedding to turn on NR2. I shot a punk rock show tonight and PFvision is the only way I got through it( I turned off NR2 because I didn't use gain AT ALL). I will update you on how it really looks when we get it in the editing system. But, suffice to say, it was DARK. Truecolor, etc. I had no image, and PF vision almost matched up with the old VX2100 we used as a 4th cam. We were shooting SD 4:3 for a local show, so I'm not editing. I will stay connected with the people who are... Bill |
Oh man....sweet! Please let me know how it goes :).

When you post an example, can you please tell which version of de Preset you were using. As always with good presets it turns up in different versions.

I used this preset saturdaynight when shooting some familyparty. There was a slideshow and the lights were turned really low. It was almost dark, comparable to candlelight. This preset was the only way to see something. I don't have the VX2100 anymore, but i think this is comparable.
I used everything from 1/50 to 1/25th shutter and -3db, +6 and even +12db. The +12db stuff was a lot brighter then the room itself, wich was almost dark. There was a pretty ugly amount of grain too. NR1 and NR2 where both on zero btw. Will test next time with NR2 on low. This is for sure the preset to use on these dark weddingreceptions where you are struggling to find more light. |

If you don't mind us showing some footage, that would be great :). |
Hi Bill,

EventVideographer.com ~ XHA1 PRESETS Striking difference. My preset is always evolving but is loosely based on TRUCOLOR. (The trusty VX2000's in the background are packed up and going on eBay next week.) |
That is a striking difference.

Since everybody is so lyric on this preset in low-light I sure must give it a try and test it. But I was wondering: do you use this preset also in daylight (without the +6dB gain ofcourse) or does it blow the colors to much in daylight? Ofcourse I should try myself and I will but time is not on my side.

The difference in those images is interesting - for low light. I'd be a little concerned at the loss of detail in the highlights. I haven't tried it myself yet, but based on the pictures the shadows look great however the highlight is suffering as a result.

So although it's not as cinematic (since most of the presets that crush the blacks are considered more cinematic looking), it suits my shooting style. |
Hi Randy,
Is this your preset? Really well done. Quote:

Hi Joel, Yes it is :). Thanks for the compliments! If you look in the xh clips sub forum, I explain the full story behind the name and preset. I can't take full credit as it's a mix of Giovanni Speranza's PanaFilm & Vision01 and Papa's Panavision. I tweaked it to my liking to fix the gamma and shadow details because originally it didn't fit the use of reception low light shooting. I agree about the part about shooting it flat. The preset still has accurate skin tones and colors though. |
