all video is exciting;-)

I see you found an old interview of me from my friend's website. that was done way back in '98 when I was just using a videonics MX-1 mixer and a sony vx-1, running it through the mixer onto a tape, make two different tapes then mix them onto another tape. Some noise from the dubs but sometimes it looked cool.

how did you find the airzine website? check out www.japan-zine.com the webmaster also writes for that e-zine, it's based out of Nagoya, but it covers Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya. You can see what stuff is happening here. If you ever make it over here for vacation, there's lots to see that doesn't involve temples and rice fields, although they do have some cool temples in Kyoto.

I believe there is another xl1 sighting in Swordfish in Stanley's ex-wife's/porn king husband's living room for their adult movie making.

BDOG

they have Dark Angel on video over here and I've seen one episode where the news crew people are outside the police lines, one guy has an XL-1!

Astraila Pal, SECAm, or NTSC?
 

Hi Yall. Last year I mad a 45minute documentary of a four wheel driver trip staring seven Unimogs, and I have bean distributing it around to interested buyers at cost. Now one year later I have yet anther sale, just this time its in Australia. The question is: what is the TV standard over there? And if it is not NTSC than were in western Canada can I get it converted, and how much would it cost?
Thanks a big one

Alex

In the Land Down Under, it's a PAL world. It shouldn't be too difficult to find someone to do the PAL conversion for you. Perhaps one of our numerous Canadians here on the boards can help you out with that.

There are lots of places in Vancouver where you can get it converted. I can check the yellow pages here and give you some phone numbers.

I'd be interested in seeing your video. I'm into off-roading, and Unimogs are just damn cool. How much do you sell them for?

Wow Chris. That was one fast riply, about 7 minutes from the time I posted it. Thanks for the info on that Chris.
Dylan that would be much appreciated of you. As for the video I charge $18 CDN. If you would like a copy I let me know and ill give you my mailing address.

Thanks again every one
Alex

OK, here are a couple, all area code 604 of course.
There are the ones with the biggest ads that list NTSC/PAL conversions under their services.

Edward Lee Production Inc. 589-5270

Source Media 524-4900

Image Media 324-4191

A B C It Video Services 522-2023

Reflection Video Production 581-1609

If you need more let me know, there are probably another 30+ listed in the yellow pages. I just realized this is last years phone book, so if any of the numbers are not is service, that's probalby why.

Hope this helps.

Dylan

Thanks for those numbers. I am going to try and get a hold of some of them in the morning.

Does anyone know the technical specs on the movie, like what it was shot with and who did the transfer.

I just saw it the other day and it was unbelievable for DV, it looked great on the big screen. I've read some interviews on it that mention it was a handheld minidv camera but none specify which one it was or any details on how it was shot.

Anyone know the details?

thanks

shot with 3 sony pd150's

Full Frontal info + review
 

http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=12835

Mostly shot with XL1... can't wait to see the results. Doesn't
seem to be a "mainstream" movie though.

I just saw the trailer on broadcast tv tonight. It looks...interesting. Res Magazine has a cover story on the film this month. I think Full Frontal opens here in the U.S. in a week or so.

It was scheduled to open in May, then the studio set it back to November. But it would make sense, I've started to see and read alot about it again. The film's site doesn't say anything about the opening though. I think it will be a fairly mainstream release here in the states. For a young director, Soderbergh has a very strong following. Of course an Academy Award never hurts.

New Yorker Review
 

Here's the New Yorker review (in the 8/5 issue by David Denby) of Full Frontal:

". . . 'Full Frontal,' which was put together by Steven Soderbergh . . . is perhaps the most naively awful movie I've seen from the hand of a major director . . . . 'Full Frontal' is the kind of arbitary mess that gives experimentation a bad name. The news that the movie was shot digital video and film in eighteen days, and that the actors drove themselves to the set and applied their own makeup, would have made a nice Sunday Times story if the movie were any good. But it isn't, so the low budget austerities come off as the newest form of ostentation . . ."

I guess there's still time make the first DV hit.
