A short film shot on HPX500

[NorthernFilmMaker]

I've uploaded a quick short with shots of a very beautiful lake.... shot with HPX500, 720/24pn.... lens: Fujinon A16x9BRM. No color correction, strait from the camera and edited in Premiere Pro CS3.

I take it you must love your 500. You seem take it everywhere. I'm also guilty of taking out my 2/3 inch to film family and general stuff.
Very nice counrty side, any fish in that lake?

I am really enjoying the 500...... yes, there are fish in the lake, lake trout i believe.

The bridge building video was also awesome. Awesome color!!! What lens are you using with your HPX500?

I am still amazed at the color reproduction and the look/feel of 24p on this camera..... These compressed videos don't do it that much justice though, you should see footage right from the camera to a 42" Panasonic Plasma.... Beautiful! I'm using an older SD lens, Fujinon A16x9BRM.... neither of the two videos i posted were color corrected, i just always use a white card... I'm looking at getting Magic Bullet Looks though, i like what that program can do.

You are lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world, that makes for beautiful images!

Magic Bullet is a pretty awesome tool but is a real CPU power consumer, even with a Hi Spec machine. Short films up to and around the 10min mark render in fairly decent times, but if you want to render a piece longer than that, you'll be leaving you machine on for a while!! An hour or more long film can take days or even more than a week to render.

I really love your piece!
