I didn't watch the whole thing, but I bookmarked it so I can watch it later. So far it looks pretty awesome.

I really enjoyed watching that. I thought the images were powerful, the music Sigur Ros, was perfect. I don't know if this is just a technical glitch on my computer, but it ended very abruptly. Overall there are some nicely composed images in there. One that comes to mind is the girl sleeping. I also liked the sequence with the man praying and then falling asleep.

hi Michael!

I like yuor work, even though I think it's all a bit similar.. Maybe you should try to change pace or color correct a bit differently on your next project? I'll be checking it out..

Thanks David,

Guess people aren't big on feedback here.

new music video
 

Check out this music video I produced a few weeks back. This is a christian music video with an amazingly good "Jesus" look alike! Please give me some feedback!

One major thing I need to improve on is lighting...anyone have any helpful sites to send me or know of any training videos that might help?

Music Video is called "Time After Time"

Feel free to roam around and comment on any other videos from my site!

Best,

IMO, The "MAN" could have shown at bit of empathy with HIS decision to spare the girl and take the boy. Push the envelope next time and don't be afraid interpret on your own what the "humanitarian" JC would do. Other than expanding HIS character some, I thought you had a nice piece.

There's a good lighting DVD called DV Enlightenment and you can find it on http://dvcreators.net/lighting/

By the way, is that a lamp infringing on camera left?

thanks tony
To keep file size down I used a technique someone showed me....I circle the area I want the viewers eye to focus on (eg a person's face) I them feather the circle (12px) them I inverse it and blur the remaining image. Sometimes doing this would nearly halve file size. My aim was to keep the mini docos around or under 2mb

New wedding portfolio.
 

I have just posted my new portfolio, all music video clips was shoot on Canon Xl1s and edit on Adobe Premiere Pro.

Comment or criticism is welcome. I need honest opinions. Feel free to fire away the good and the bad.

I am curious... how do you get permission to use the music?

Demo reel - Looking for an opinion
 

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the board, so figure i'd make an introduction. My name is Sean Porter, I've been a cinematographer here in seattle for quite some time working both on commercial productions as well as independent films shot on the westcoast. my most recent work has all been shot (uncorrected) via the panasonic DVX - so it may be of some relevance to the board. Anyway - please offer any and all comments.

Wing is my keygrip (technical director) steadicam operator.

tia and look forward to meeting you all.

PILGARLIC & 16X9 adapter
 

In addition to a previous thread by my DOP Dennis Hingsberg, I just want to announce that my short film PILGARLIC is now a part of the official selection of the Toronto Online Film Festival 2004.

The film may now be viewed with its new modified/remastered soundtrack.

Within the next week you may able to view the short on either www.3btv.com in the UK, or, www.undergroundfilm.org.
Feel free to check it out.

Also, does anyone out there own a Sony VX2000, and if so, have you ever used a 16X9 wide angle adapter?

I would appreciate any thoughts or comments on how effective this procedure is for shooting and film blow-up.

Thank you all.

you don't.

A search for "anamorphic" in the VX-2100/PD-170 forum should point you in the right direction... http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/search.ph...der=descending

FWIW, I was considering such an adaptor for my VX-2000 a couple years ago. The problem is that they are expensive and have a number of limitations. So instead I purchased a Sony PDX-10 as a second camera and have been very happy with that decision.

wide angle adapter and vx-2000
 

I have the Sony $400 version and use it all the time, especially in 4x3.
I have just come out of the commercial world and am getting ready to shoot some indie stuff. This will be my first atempt at 16x9 and the wide angle will be used in that as well.

I also have a Pana pv-gs70 3 chip and have a Sony wide angle adapter for it as well.
As my writing partner says, you can tell so much more of the story this way.

You had some very good and nice shots in there. But overal I felt
it was too dark (hard to see at some times) with too much
brightness (levels) variations and a lot of vignetting (homemade
35mm adaptor?)
