A1 and HV10 on the job in Amman Jordan.
 

A collegue of mine just got back from filming a documentary training video in Amman Jordan. He just made the switch from SD (XL1) to HD (Canon A1/HV10).
He was interviewed by digitalcontentproducer.com.
I thought his feedback was very unbiased and positive on how the Canon's held up in extreme conditions.

Take a read.

Nice read. It puzzles me why he calls 16x9 "9x16" and 4x3 "4x4" though.

I just thought that was strange :)

Yeah I caught that too.
I think they were typos by the writer.

Let's hope so :) But then again, one would think an editor at DCP would have caught that.

michael, since you know him, is there any way to find out what is post-production workflow is? especially since he's going to attempt to configure the final project for broadcast?

i'm interested because i'm taking the identical set-up to asia in 3 weeks....even the same tripod! i'm shooting a specific project for a client but thought i could also collect enough footage for a documentary project and am very interested in the post- workflow.
