that teaser trailer looks amazing! I'm impressed with the editing, but more so the content, writing and timing is impressive.

there's not much else to do here at Ft. Benning while I'm at training, so here's a link to my demo reel. 80% of it is HD100 and brevis 35, the other 20% is DVX100B and M2.

The encode is crappy and low res despite the relatively large file. sorry. i'll try and find time to re-compress to a better size/codec.

cheers.

Here is a finished test I shot...

The School - Shot on a JVC 111E
 

Hi
Here's my link to the trailer of a short film shot in India on a JVC 111E -
www.theindiefarm.com

Dear Sareesh,

I have gone through your website, and watched some trailers, interesting though! I am new in this field but love innovative work! I have JVC GZHD7 & Canon HV20, I bought them from USA, and I was there for three years!

I am willing to make some documentary film, I have Adobe CS3 Pro and other software and I am learning!

Recently I have shot my brother's wedding ceremony, I did some editing on it, if you would like to go through here is link: http://vimeo.com/771305

Send me your suggestions & feedback; I would really welcome suggestions from anybody from this forum.

Thanks,
Kaushik

nice
 

It's nice work for a beginner. I'm not an expert on marriage videos but I guess to get better video you need more planning...even if it's for a marriage function. e.g. guests entering at the beginning...my instinct tells me the camera was placed without a lot of thought going into the composition and lighting, etc. Of course, when you show it to friends and relatives, all they see are the people. But when you show it to strangers, especially professionals, all they see is the lighting and composition! All the best!

You are right, indeed.

Hi All,

I've been away from these boards for quite a while! Anyway, we (me, Pete Stepnoski and Mark Gaffney) shot this commercial for Hands Free America (i.e. Motorola) with a pair of HD-100's.

We earned a Telly for it.

Have fun and keep Shooting!

Snow Madness videos
 

This 2-part video was shot quickly, me the crude beginner testing the 110. Challenges include shooting in snow and no decent lights, budget or real help. I've my own idea of the weaknesses - some horrible focus, panning artifacts, etc. - but welcome any other observations.

Title - 12007
Dur. 18 mins
Short Feature

Dir. Diego Torres
DoP José L. Martínez Díaz
Company : Contacontos P.C. S.L. (www.contacontos.com)

Camera: jvc hd 201 and 100. Stock Fujinon Lenses. Edit with FCP, timing with Color. Film Out and Lustre at Fotofilm Deluxe.

A cinematography montage:

Some stills...

Heres a short 60 sec version of a spot I did using a DIY spinning GG adapter with a Nikon mount. I used Nikon and Sigma lenses.

The aerial footage was the stock fujinon. all the others where done with the 35 lens adapter.

The GG is a frosted plastic I cut into a circle.

very nice .

Thanks Jamal,

Heres the long version ; http://www.vimeo.com/1229221

Looks bl**dy great Ted!
Colours and details come across really well. Is it possible you can tell us if you used a scene file and what format (30p, 60p etc?) you shot it in?

Also...I'm struggling to understand what the GG (ground glass I assume) is for? I don't suppose you could explain that to me - is it an effect rather than a technical necessity (similar to the spinning wine glass, which I've tried but ultimately it just looked like a spinning wine glass!)?
You mentioned this is DIY and on the Vimeo site it's the 35mm adaptor which is DIY...if you can get the footage looking so good with a DIY 35mm (and therefore cost effective) I'm all ears!

Cheers.

David,

I slightly modified Paulo Ciccone's true color version 3 scene file.

I had black stretch 1 and detail to normal.

Slow motion sequences were 480 60P uprezzed to 720 24P on the Edius timeline. All other shots are 720 24P.

Yes the adapter is DIY, and the ground glass is frosted plastic, its discussed at alternative imaging thread.

Heres the link to that thread:

The curved dolly moves were done with my DIY plywood mini skater. plans of which i posted here.

Ted

Hmmm, thinking I need to come for a visit...

Well done Ted! Focus was a bit soft on one of the beach shots with people running in water. Was that intentional or one of the byproducts of using low DOF primes?

shaun,

thanks, your right, that was at the long end of the 80-200 which at f2.8 was really difficult to track focus since the distance was far and the 80-200, with just a small nudge is already a big difference in focus point and i didnt have a follow focus. the focus was going in and out but i decided to use the footage anyway. i guess its one of the challenges with using shallow dof still lenses for video.

tourism promotion video
 

Something I just finished using JVC HD100 and HD200. This is a promotional video of my Island, a third in a series of 4 islands.
Most shots with a DIY 35mm adapter, some with the stock 16x. 5-7 shots with DVX100 uprezzed. I pushed my luck and shot a cave with an adapter with inadequate lights. -sigh..

I was shooting the rappel scene with the cam on my shoulder while myself hanged by a harness at 184 feet of a rock wall.

Some closeup shots of Caterpillars and Butterflies were shot with Zoerk adapter and an 80-200mm nikon. Wide shots with sigma 15-30mm and 20-40mm.

Bohol Island Tourism Video By Ted Ramasola On ExposureRoom

Dolly shots using DIY PVC dolly, curved moves using my DIY Plywood miniskater, crane shot used DIY jib.

Solid work. Very solild. How did you capture the underwater scene?

Also, nice title work.

Thanks for posting and sharing you work. Something to consider when you shoot again is the attention to detail. In this case, your subject's glasses reflect what looks like a TV or a window then entire time. Also, you might consider lighting you subjects face.

Stephen,

Thank you for your comments. It was your help in the start that got me to buy the JVC hd100. Never regretted the choice which made me later get the hd200.

The uderwater POV are the only shots I didn't do. All the rest were mine. Including -gasp! the voice over. hehe.

3D animation titles I do in MAX while map animations are done in after effects.

Edius is still my NLE of choice, especially that HQ now does alpha channels.


Ted

Thanks for watching Steven! The reflected image in her glasses is in fact my softbox. I struggled a bit with the placement of the light to get some shadow effect on her left side. This you tube clip does not reflect actually how good the segment really looks (on TV). I was pressed for time and I started shooting when she was "ready". She was nervous so I caught what I could when I could. Could you recommend any good reference dvd's about lighting? Thanks again for your comments.

Try this for lighting....

You've done some great work Ted. I remember you from the DVXUser.com site.

Keep shooting!!

Hi Daniel
Very good material, both the video (nice images) and the non-profit organization work that your wife works/volunteers for.
Ron

That's a great project Daniel, very worth while, it's a real thrill to see people break lose through a sport like that, paraplegic, one legged and blind skiers are a lesson to us all too. Here's one I baked earlier:

http://www.beardigital.tv/en/SkiingC...rationClip.wmv

This is my poison, (I specialize in shooting on skis) in fact it's two short clips from a documentary I shot this in Colorado, the end sequence was kind of fun to do, excuse the awful puns!

A thought which may help Daniel, is that you can afford to back off with your reflector - I think you may have been using a foil faced "Lastolite" or similar, the trick is to pinpoint your actual source of light, in this case the sun, and only gently fill from the opposing side. So in this case where the sun is high and behind the subject it would be natural to keep the camera left (her right) or "on camera" cheek darker than the "off camera" cheek. so you could have used a more diffused bounce and further off. This would look good, help you avoid reflections in glasses and, very importantly, make it much easier for your interviewees. Just a thought, great shots and story though.

I must apologize, the link above is to a video clip that I could have shot on a 200 series camera - wish that I had if you like. In fact I shot it on a Sony BVW 700 with a front end wide angle and a 9 Amp PAG battery on the back, I guess the weight of that alone was what kept me on the surface really! How I wish we'd had these GY-HD 200 series cameras then. Maybe I wouldn't have become the "Hunch Front of Notre Dame".
