Thanks for checking on it anyway. I just hate "REAL", in case you couldn't tell.

Any Star Wars fans out there want to watch a 10 Minute short,
shot on an XL1. Check out:

If you could watch the piece in it's entirety and vote on it at the end that would be much appreciated.

P.S. You may notice the fluctuating light. This is the result of my camera being accidentally set to auto gain instead of negative three. Live and learn. Let me know what you think.

Thanks guys- Nori Wentworth

Nori,

Nicely done!!

Perhaps the members of the forum would be interested in hearing about your production experience. (How long did this take to shoot?, What was the edit session like? Did you mic the actors or was the dialogue done in post? Did you use Premier, After Effects, FCP to edit?, etc., etc.)

I'm interested in knowing how you did the light swords.

Keep up the good work.

Apparently a TechTV aired a feature titled, "Coming Soon to Theaters: Digital Cinema" on Friday, March 15. You might find the accompanying web site article interesting reading:

Nori,

It was nice overall, but I am a bit of a critic and due to my
own feelings of certain things I found it a bit less enjoyable
then otherwise would have been. I'm really not the type of
guy who likes the lets be funny category. So that retracted
from the movie for me. I do not know why you choose to
go down this route, so please do not think of this as a bad
thing, it is not meant to be!

The overal movie was very nicely done! I liked the editing
but I thought it missed some speed at time. The light
sabers were nicely done. You might want to look into color
correction to give it a bit more of a professional look (I am
doing this with my own movie at the moment as well).

I've been critic enough now, I hope you do not take it the
wrong way and I hope my comments help you.

Thanks for sharing the movie with us!

Great effort Nori,

I liked the Matrix meets sled riding redneck costume design. The lighsabers were well done, but yeah, I agree with Rob on the colour correction issue. For a web movie it looked really good though.

That was warped..... and not my taste really. BUT... I was totally inthralled and drawn in.. I thought the editing was supurb as well as some great special FX.... Over all I thought your film was a very well played out vision.... Congrats on making a good short.

Keep up the great work.

[Digital Dan]

Looks cool - shot entirely on the GL1, eh? Nice! His editing skills are superb.

[Nori Wentworth]

I take nothing the wrong way. Any critisism is good, it can only make you better, thats what I think. ;)

Hello;

I just thought I would share my teaser trailer for a movie that is far, far away. This was shot on my old Analog Samsung Camcorder :)

Citadome Teaser Trailer
Trailer: http://members.shaw.ca/kloudi/theater_001.htm
Poster: http://members.shaw.ca/kloudi/images/poster.jpg

I just invested $11,000 into my video business, With that I purchased the Sony DSR PD-150 and a bunch of Audio equipment. I am also looking at purchasing some lowel light kits soon. - I can not wait to start shooting my feature this summer.... When you get new toys it feels like christmas all over hahahaha.

Anyways enjoy the trailer.

Has anyone here first hand seen what NTSC DV footage looks like on a 35mm transfer at an event?

I have a Canon XL1S NTSC, and after reading this forum am still confused of whether you can successfully go to 35mm from NTSC.

Does NTSC look like garbage on film?

Thanks

Vicks

Nevermind I found what i was looking for.

Thanks

[Adam Lawrence]

so what did you find..anything worth a look at?

I would like to know what DV footage looks like after a 35m
transfer...

[Nathan Gifford]

...you should.

The technical pages are excellent. It shows pretty much how to setup a GL-1 and do some impressive work. It seems he shot in frame movie mode, but that is not clearly spelled out.

I guess he could have done it in post doing the de-interlace thing.

Audio, he has used Sennheiser 100, which is my vote for one of the best wireless around. It is amazing that after listening to lavs, you can tell when they are being used.

It would have been interesting to see what he had learned about lighting. Short story, it seems he learn well.

Later,
Nathan Gifford

I heard about Bamboozled, which was shot using Sony digital cameras and an XL1.

Looked into that.
