Any polished projects that we can view?
 

Hey folks, it's some six months later and I'm just curious to know if any of you guys know of or have created any polished projects that we can view that aren't nate weaver's dirthouse video or bound by non-disclosure legal mumbojumbo? I'd love to see a polished short film or new music video that was shot with this camera, I find it hard to believe that after over a half year, there's still so little viewable content. We all know what the test footage looks like, but what about finished products? I just wanted to reinvigorate this kind of thinking/discussion, so where's da work? Someone please post something, we're all a bit hungry...

well....
 

Bruce why dont you start us off with your footage? ;)

I've shot nothing with the camera, I'm in a wheelchair, so that sort of thing can be difficult.

Jon..., you meant 'a polished project' right? :-)

BTW nates footage for the music video he produced looks fantastic, any time i need a reminder of how good this camera produces images.....i just look at that, polished and all

Less-polished live sports work
 

I'm a little embarassed to show my stuff with all you serious filmmakers, but we have a project at MIT to broadcast sports games with four HD-100s, using some live switching, titling, and compositing software we are developing. Then we output to an ATSC transport stream and broadcast in HDTV over the on-campus cable TV system.

Here are the videos: http://sportcast.mit.edu. The most recent ones are available in streaming MPEG-4, which I recommend unless you want to download 18 GB of ATSC transport stream...

We shoot with 1/60 sec shutter speed with motion smoothing, coming into the software via Firewire. Then we encode back to MPEG-2 with the free libavcodec (used by mencoder, etc.). So here is maybe an indication of how well the camera does with some less-experienced operators and only existing lighting.

Pretty cool project you guys have going on there.
