My first action movie on the HVX - Trailer

[canasian]

UPDATED - High Res and Full Res Versions now available!

Okay, so my program just got an HVX in January, and I went ahead and made my film using loaner cards and a whole lot of string pulling. Here's the trailer I put together, there's a full res version coming soon. I hope you like it, and I'd like to hear what you think. Fighting, chasing, guns, explosions etc. There's a 3 minute cut that I did for a competition and there will be a full 8 minute directors cut at the end of march.

Now that gave me some warm & fuzzies!!!
Panasonic should be helping you promote that.
Excellent camera work. Did you adjust the camera much
or was that grading done in post.
Can't wait to see the finished movie!!
Great work.

[dpx]

That mid air flip shot near the end was amazing

Nice work

[canasian]

Actually my friend, there is no CC on any of that footage. It's all straight out of the camera. Hot, isn't it?

[Justyn]

Yes some nice camerawork but the martial artists leave some to be desired. Are they friends or actual martial artists. Sorry if that's harsh, but this is an area I've had quite a bit of practice in and over 10 years of kungfu traiining so far. I'm going to be shooting a few fights and then a feature in the summer. The lead has done a few action vehicles already and I'm going to have some stuff to show off in a couple of weeks.


I'd say a few more fights and fast action cuts and not just reactions and such and it'll be more impactful. I'll put up a link soon... will be at www.kungfuchristmas.com

[Kholi]

Footage looks great. However, I agree with Justyn--

THe fights leave a lot to be desired. =P But you do with what you can! The backflip looked cool, though.

[Jeremy Garchow]

Hey cansian, I don't care what they say. Your footage looks good, bodes well for the HVX in high shutter action sequences. Color looks good. Focus looks good. Nice job. Keep up the good work. i have a few technical questions. What format was this shot in? DV50? Some of the sequences look interlaced, especially when 'our hero' is about to jump off of the roof into oblivion (the close up shot). I noticed it was a 16:9 movie in 4:3 window. Maybe it's an encode of an SD downconvert? I am just curious for my own personal knowledge, regardless everything looks awesome. I don't have quicktime pro on this ole laptop, so I can't see how this was encoded for the web.

Jeremy

[Matt Sconce]

This is absolutely amazing. I disagree with the others on the Martial Arts. I believe they work for the movie and are a fit for it. It is a personal directing choice how to shoot the martial arts and not the martial artists themselves. Yes, if you had Jet Li to work with, it would be amazing, but since you do not, I thought this worked very well.

[ColumbusFMG]

WOW! I like the quality of the footage!! Cool scenes! When is the final movie coming out!!?!? I am excited to see it!

And a quick question. How did you have your lighting set up in the opening scene?(where the main character was on the roof)

www.digitalfilmcamp.com

[imgentertainment@mac]

Wow looks like alot of fun. Good locations man..

[canasian]

Sweet! Thanks for all of your comments and advice. Its way cool to get feedback from the board that I have admired for such a long time. Its really nice to finally get to contribute.

Okay, questions questions: Jeremy First
1. It was shot 720p in 24pn. Im still familiarizing myself with the camera so it was the default format, whether that was DVC50 DVCPro or whatever else it shoots. Some fight scenes were shot at 22fps with a 500 shutter, unless there was only enough light for 250 (or no shutter at all). All the slow motion is of course, 60p. Some of the action scenes where I had no extra sound equipment was shot at 24p. (The HVX doesnt capture sound while using variable frame rates (much to my chagrin - but it makes up for itself - SOO HOT.)
2. That interlaced portion is partially due to the downconvert to SD for this trailer, (I just threw it together last second to have something to show you guys) and the fact that the clip is sped up a little. Running up to the edge of a 27 story building is kind of unnerving (I was following on rollerblades(!) - the poor mans dolly), so I think the interlacing is partially an artifact from that, but I could be completely wrong on that one.
3. Yes, its a 16x9 movie in a 4x3 window. Good eye.

ColumbusFMG
1. The full eight minute directors cut is coming out at the end of March-Early April. We are doing some small reshoots and tweaking the audio is a huge way. A lot of our practical sound didnt turn out so hot.
2. As for that lighting set up, we scheduled our shoot for what we hoped would be an overcast day, and totally lucked out. On that roof, I just placed him where the light looked best and ran with it. Boy, how ghetto am I? : )

Yeah, Ill be getting together a 720p version of the trailer for everyone here real soon. How sick will that be? Man, I havent been this excited about a project Ive been working on in a long while.

[Danilo Del Tufo]

Just incredible!!! It's from a movie that you're makin' or it's only a trailer to show action sequences?
I've noticed that many lights are burned (very videoish) , did you have a good Dp? Maybe you must use a lot of Nd filters! LOL
Well, action scenes are great, that shot with the table and the guy knockin' some people's head has an incredible camera movement, I really liked how you follow the action!
Just great! The actor playin' the hero I really liked, hope to see the color correction! I'm waitin'!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful work! :)

[HDCinema25]

That looked amazing! Can't wait to see the 720p version. BTW: What was the song used in the trailer?

Kev

[Yas Kassana]

Nice backflip by that lady. HVX is what it's all about.

[adam powell]

Looks awesome man!! good work

I didn't believe in your action hero though, he looked like a computer engineer to me.

dunno maybe im being a d*ck but he didn't have the rugged hollywood thing going on, but I guess if someone's gonna compare your work to hollywood you're onto a winner :p

keep it up bro.

Adam.

P.S if that guy ACTUALLY IS tough then please dont tell him I said that.
dont want some dude with a rope f**king my s**t up.

[UncleBenji1977]

Nice work. Can't wait to see more. Did you roll any tape, or did you stick to p2's?

[canasian]

Yeah, in that outdoor fight, we used some heavy ND. And I shot the whole thing. It was a way barebones production. Written and produced in two weeks with a budget of a little less than a hundred dollars with five volunteer crew. I feel we did very well with what we had. : ) And it's not just a trailer. There is a full 8 minute film coming. I am *so* excited.

The song in the trailer is a track by Non-Stop music that they used in the Romeo Must Die Trailer. The track info that I have on that is "Blind Horizon" by "Non-stop Music" on the album "Film Trailer Sampler". I got it free at a festival I participated in. There's some pretty cool stuff on there.

Yeah, there was one shooting day where we couldn't get any cards, so we ran tape. None of it was in the trailer as I planned all my dialogue exchanges on that day. We also had a DVX or two cover us during the other shoot days. One was dedicated to capturing audio and behind the scenes type footage and the other as a second camera.

And Adam, I guess that I won't pass your remark on. : )

hmmm....doesn't seem like that link is working. Do you have another link? I'm eager to see your footage.

[canasian]

Try a right click and "save as"?

Yeah, I think his bandwith's been sucked up. =D

[DP StrangeLove]

Can Anyone else host Canasian's footage, I gotta see it.

That's what I have been doing, and nothing. :crybaby:

Just click and let load.
After it loads you can save it.

Right click save as brings up the .htm header.

[Kholi]

Hey, let me make another comment about this--

The camera work makes it look like film. I think someone posted that it looks like video, but that's only at the very end where interlacing looks heavy.

It really does look "film-like", and I think that's because whomever was operating the camera actually uses it decently. Not like I'd really know, that's just what I seem to get from it.

I want to see the 8-minute version.

[insanityfw]

good stuff!!!! Maybe the action could have been covered a bit differently, but to be honest i find it refreshing to not have to punk out using a machine gun effect with the cutting of shots. To me it's an overused way of not having to really think shots and motion through. You've pulled together some shots that make it feel very cinematic and that may be more due to what seem like very dileberate camera moves.

Can't wait to see more.

And yeah that back flip was amazing.

[Larry Rutledge]

SNAP! That was sweet! Great stuff...looking forward to the full film :thumbsup:

How did you get access/permission to use the roof of a skyscraper? I need one for an upcoming short, but was afraid I would have to pay out a lot for insurance.

[Kholi]

I'm with Larry on that one -- How'd you get those shots?

[canasian]

I was totally afraid about that insurance bit too, but I thought to myself, 'what's the worst they can do? Say no?' So I just called and asked. Luckily I'm a student and they were way relaxed about it. They said, 'yeah just call us when you're ready'. So we showed up on the scheduled day and they gave us a key card and walked us up on the roof and let us go for an hour and a half. Totally amazing people and an amazing experience. I guess you never know what you're going to get until you ask.

[Larry Rutledge]

That's pretty encouraging (especially since I need to do this myself). How did you approach it, did you just say "Hi I'm a student filmmaker and want to film on your roof?"

Thanks again,
Larry

[Kholi]

Looks like I just became a student filmmaker. :cheesy:

[canasian]

Yeah, I told them the university that I was from and that I was shooting my senior capstone project and I needed to shoot from a high vantage point overlooking the city, and that I just thought I might give them a try. I was totally prepared for them to deny me. They were the third building I had tried. But divine intervention occured and I got to shoot on a 27 story skyscraper. SIIIICK! : )

Good job, man. Totally jealous.

[Jeremy Garchow]

I think you are talking about me. I didn't say it looked like video, I just noticed it was interlaced and in a 4:3 video which tells me at some point this went down to NTSC or was shot with some variant of NTSC. The only way to get the interlaced, is shoot dv50 or 1080i. it definitely did not look like 1080i, it looked progressive or 'filmic'. It's obviously shot 24p, but it could have been dv50 24p Normal and edited in NTSC. I was impressed at how good the footage looked and would have been even more impressed if it was shot DV50 (and not HD). Just wanted to be clear that the footage looked great and definitely NOT like video.


Jeremy

[booth]

It's shot in standard mini-DV isn't it? Wasn't it recorded to tape?

[canasian]

Nope, we shot DVC50 HD to two 4GB P2 cards.

[Larry Rutledge]

Well, I loved it :love4:

Wanna come to Nor. Cal. in a couple weeks and shoot my HeroFest entry :grin:

[mdreuben]

Very very clean - and very much like film. Congratulations on a job well done!


Slightly off topic question...what compression method did you use? At only a little over six meg, that's quite impressive, with hardly any artifacts.

Funny enough, I was in a rush, so I threw the file into iMovie and I "shared" it for the web. I think the preset was "Broadband Hi"

[Larry Rutledge]

What was your editing workflow? Did you use a Mac or PC? What software did you edit with?

[canasian]

We shot to P2, dumped the cards on an HPdv1000 laptop during production which we copied via firewire to an external LaCie harddrive. Then, when all that was done I took the hard drive into school and threw it one a dual 2ghz Mac G5. 2Gb Ram etc. I edited in FCPHD v5.04 with the DVC50 HD preset (720p 24p). Umm... graphics were jpgs made in Adobe Illustrator... did I miss anything?

[Larry Rutledge]

Thanks....great film, and great info. Looking forward to the finished film.

Peace,
Larry

[Jeremy Garchow]

You mean DV100 HD, or do you mean DV50 SD? The terms can get cornfusing.

[thefilmaddict]

Cool stuff!!! Great shots.

[Brandon Rice]

Wow... Just watched it... Looks awesome. I really like the look of your lead actor. The only technical issue I saw was there seemed to be a spot on the lens for one of the shots when the hero is about to jump from the building. Other than that it was technically sound, and the footage looked awesome! Great job!

[StMad]

I personally think your shot choices and execution are top shelf. Those final 3 shots on top of the building were perfect, and nicely edited. Looks like you put everything you had into this short. Your talent was good, but didn't quite match your own skills (fellas running scenes and lasses backflip excepted). Slightly awkward moments for me were the spam kicking, the fella swinging wilding at girl backfliping, and the wind up left in truck which any self respecting baddy would've avoided. These things took me out a little, but overall the trailer was sweet.

Are you wanting to make a dvd (and a little cash), or just posting the short on the net? I look forward to seeing more.

[canasian]

Hey, I just added the High Res (640x360 H.264) and Full Res (1280x720 H.264) up at the top of the thread if anyone wants to see it.

[Brandon Rice]

Wow! That high-res is awesome! I am sold on this HVX-200 thing!

[Danilo Del Tufo]

OH MY GOD! THIS IS AWESOME! I wanna be your apprentice! :) The High rez version is incredible!

Hey guys go here too : http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=49907

A sony fx1 work, it's amazing!

[js33]

Tried to download the high res version but I guess your bandwidth was exceeded for the day.

All these clips are causing peoples bandwidth to be eaten up fast. Hehehehe.

[Pascal_Parvex]

Yeah, do you have a download link for the full resolution video? "Save target as..." won't work, neither the diplay in the browser.

[booth]

Yeah, there was one shooting day where we couldn't get any cards, so we ran tape.
Sorry Canasian, I read this at work quickly and missed the 'one shooting day' and thought you'd recorded it all to tape which would of course give you just miniDV as an option. Apologies.

By the way if you recorded DVCPro50, that's still SD. But very nice SD :)

I think when you've graded it it'll look superb and yes, that backflip is the highlight of the trailer.

[canasian]

Okay, I looked it up and we shot DVC PRO HD 720p 24n, cause baby, the high res version is SO hot.

And, for all those who have trouble downloading, here's an open directory link.

They're under "switchtrailer, etc etc.mov"

And I can't get enough of the backflip. In the full film, she does two or three back handsprings before going into the backflip. It's poetry in motion. Amazing to watch.

Is "Dante.mov" shot with Hvx200? It seems Varicam stuff to me...which other shorts are shot with Hvx200?

[canasian]

Dante was shot on a DVX-100, my old love. The switch trailer is the only thing that I have that has been shot on an HVX. Or should I say HotVX. The day of the backflip was the first time I had ever shot with P2 cards, so it's been a learning experience.

[Daniel Skubal]

Incredible! The backflip shot was great!

[holditnowfilms]

Looks great! Get that stuff color corrected fast. Once you do people will lose their F'ing minds!

[Lapp]

The quality of that footage was amazing. Pretty cool trailer.

[Strongbad_2Z]

The backflip definitely was the best part. Definitely still have some room to grow in reference to lighting and composition. This camera is an extremely powerful tool if things are lit correctly (which probably gave it the overall amateurish feel). Did you actually enter this into iOscars because wasn't that supposed to be edited ONLY on iMovie? Are you a Communications Major, or Media Arts? Good work, and I look forward to seeing other things from you.

[Nick_Lee]

did that flying can of spam make everythign seem not so serious? hahahahhaha.

but yeah other than that.

amazing. no constructive critisism..but good work.

[GoldenCam]

Not bad man, HVX looks good in this. I am actually working on couple of action shorts myself. Make sure to check them out when there done.

Yeah, I did a 3 minute cut in iMovie (which I'm pretty ashamed of. It's nigh impossible to edit in iMovie) and right after I turned that in, I cut this in Final Cut. I'm working on the 8 minute directors cut right now. I'm a Technology Teacher Education major. High school film teaching baby. : )

And GoldenCam, I'm always up for a sick new action short. I'm there.

[SPZ]

Canasian, great work for a small edit in Imovie! Did you do any CC? It seems that the girls shots where CC'd, but interior shots where kept the same... Any gain on those interior shots? I love the way people look with this camera. Its very good! You shot 720p, right?

The backflip was incredible! I also like the last shot where he runs for the ledge... But it would even look greater if you and the guy actually jumped and did this shot in slowmotion... :) (with all cables and security, of course) that would look simply spectacular!

(The main actor is not very good on his acting, tough... You should give him more directions- He should look tougher!)

Anyway, very cool, and, with proper post production, I believe you have a sellable movie!

[canasian]

Yes I shot 720p, no CC yet. Everything was in camera, the exterior shot with the girl were shot with heavy ND and had a 1/500 shutter, so that contributed to its look. No gain on those interior shots.

So did you have to dump it to tape, then capture the footage in SD, or does iMovie support MXF files? I'm just curious at your workflow to iMovie. Nice incorporation of the Spam can though...very creative. Did you ever have a class taught by Glenn Andersen?

I had to import the MXF into FCP which converted it to .mov then I dumped those into iMovie. And then the edits were so complex, that I had to edit a small sequence at a time, export that, and then do it again. Then at the end I brought all those sequences back in and put them together. It was a major pain.
And I've never taken a class form Glenn Andersen. What's he teach?

I'm not sure of the exact class name but it's basically video production, whatever for Teaching Majors. I'm trying to convince him to get one of these cameras for my work...which would be dang sweet. We currently use a DVX100 and a DVCPro camera, so this would definitely replace both of them.

[proximity]

If you shot 720p, why is are some parts clearly interpolated? For example the scene where the main character is about to jump the roof. - The image has a lot of motion. The Interpolation is easy to see. - How come it's there?

[threerookies]

Oooh, yeah. Two thumbs up.

[DavidBeier]

Some nice stuff. The outdoor stuff, especially with the girl and during the fight scene, looks FAR better than the indoor stuff. That's not really surprising though since sunlight tends to look infinitly better than flourecents. Did you light any of the indoor stuff or did you completely use the practicals as lights? One trick I've found that makes things look much better in doors is to simply throw and extra light in to give you some contrast and definition. You can either just open a window and let sunlight stream in (which looks great but perhaps not the best idea here since it appears the indoor stuff was supposed to be at night) or just grab a 1k fernel or something, open it up all the way, and shine it accross the room. This will make a far more interesting key light and allow your flourecents to act as fill and help you avoid the flat look most interior scenes tend to have. You may also want to do some color correction to crush the blacks or just lower your master pedistal a lot when shooting.

Anyway, I'd love to see the director's cut when it's done.

[Justin Marx]

SPAM BABY! No shoot is complete without it! :-)

[danny d]

good camera, great footage, re-edit

[3CCD]

Wonderful trailer, definitely gave me the goose bumps.

[Bk's Finest!]

Good stuff man! I loved the flip!

[235 Studios]

Great stuff indeed. I really enjoyed the camera work. Well exicuted.

[Kubrick71]

I enjoyedthe teaser and I am interested in what the story will be like. It must be nice to have 15 actors with some apparent skill who are willing to work for free on a short with a budget approximately $100. Was it your goal to create a good video with as little budget as possible? You certainly have some nice equipment to use that costs thousands of dollars, how come your budget was so limited? Anways, job well done.

One last thing, over the 2 week shoot how were the crew and actors fed?

Yes, we wanted to make the best no-budget action film possible. All the locations were free, the actors and crew were all volunteer. The only thing that cost us money were a few props, the box-truck, and the materials for the explosion at the end. The budget was limited really because I'm a poor college student whose program of study (Technology Education) happens to have an HVX. It's a nice setup really. We recouped the budget costs by winning a prize at a campus film festival, where it played to 3000 people.
Each shooting session only lasted about an hour, 2 hours max so that we could get away without buying everyone food. But after the festival, I took everyone out to lunch. All in all, I think it came out well for the time that we had (all of us were taking full class loads and working at the time) and I'll be putting the full 8 minute film online in the next week or so.

[Texture]

Totally impressive and I agree with any compliment handed above regarding the visuals.

This promo is very much driven by the music.

When the credits rolled I struggled to see the composer, but none. Who is it?

the links are broken...

I thought that too, but it just looks like you can't right click save as. You can just left click and progressively download them though.

Very nice looking stuff.

Tnx bro!
4 the trailer......hmm......nice......... but I won't pay 8 euros to see that movie.

[Christian]

pretty nice footage, but unfortunately your lens was a bit dirty in some scenes. Not too much to worry about, but could propably be avoided in the future.

[Smithhouse]

Loved the footage... Looks like it's going to be a great film. Good job.

[Christian]

Any News on this one? Like to see the whole movie. :huh:

[Spartacus]

server is down...

[Nathyn]

I am so freaking jealous!!! That shizznit is HOT!!!! It reminds me of MI3 somewhat. When is it coming to DVD? I want it. And whose that chick that does the flip, she's a hottie. I do action too and for low budget, hell any budget, that was the bomb.

-Nate

[R.L. Scott]

pretty sweet. it's got some matrix and MI3 flavor. nice work.

[Nathyn]

pretty sweet. it's got some matrix and MI3 flavor. nice work.
Yes! I love the MI movies and the lead is so Tom Cruise. I'm pretty sure there was some inspiration there! But the trailer is phat. I'm going to watch it again when I can.

-Nate

[P.S.T.]

What mode was it on? cus it didnt look like it was at 24fps, it looked like video...:(

[Nathyn]

Didn't look like video to me. Maybe it was on 30p but it surely didn't look like video. Although if it did it would've still looked good.

This footage was the first I had seen from the HVX, it changed my mind about buying the cam, It makes all the HDV camera's I've seen look weak. VERY filmic, great job to all those involved; although better, more coreographed fight scenes are in order. By the way, isn't the full film supposed to be out by now?
