This project demo was shot with the Z1u in 50i and brought in through Cineform into Premiere 2.0. After editing, it was shifted to AE7 where it was deinterlaced with Fieldskit and CC'd with sky replacement.

Also in AE7. using Fieldskit the 50i was converted to 50p and slowed down by 50% for crystal clear slow motion. The shutter used to shoot slow motion was at 100.

In AE7 a quicktime 24p @1440x1080 was outputted with the Audio time compressed to fit 25p.24p. Then HeavyLight in NYC transfered the footage to 35mm film with Dolby sound. It was screened at a full size theater and...

THE QUALITY HELD STRONG. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE HIGHLIGHT ISSUE. IT SEEMED TOO BRIGHT COMPARED TO FILM. BUT TO AN AUDIENCE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SHOT ON FILM.

So I get bewildered when people mistreat Sony, Canon for not having true 24p or DVCPro or what not. With HDV and the so called GOP compression problem, my project turned out just fine.

PS. This was a test for a feature film in Bangladesh. The company is in the process of bying 2 XLh1 and 2 HVX200. I'm trying to get them on the RED WAGON, but they want something now.

On the top right hand, u will see THREE LETTERS (random) just type that into the box next to it and about 44 seconds. Then click on it for download. That's it.
 
Excellent stuff, Dowloaded fine for me, yea I'm pretty convinced that JVC HD100, FX1/Z1 XLH1 and HVX200 ARE all good enough for film out, the rest is just about taste really

Anhar Bhai,

Happy Ramadan. Anyways, the rooftop was filmed at 7pm. The sun was fading fast. So I uped the GAIN +12 or 18. And the noise is very minimal.
 
Ramadan Mubarack Iffy bro,

I wanted to ask you about some of the DOF/ blur effects, did you rotoscope them in AE?

Anhar
 
Yes I did -- I masked out the fg and applied fast blur to the bg. The entire sky at the end is fake. The low angle shots of the girl was difficult, because the sun was behind her. With all the reflector and what, I had to mask out her face and brigten up a bit.
 
Ramadhan Mubarak Iffy (Iftikhar?). I have yet to check out the video, but just thought I would say Ramadhan Mubarak first.

Could you post some pictures by the way. I am bandwidth limited.

Anhar, where r u at in UK?
 
So the video you posted here was from the 35mm transfer or before? To me, this looks great. I don't get that video feel like I get while watching a lot of other stuff shot on this camera. It does have a modern "HD" feel, but in a pleasing way. So is the QT from the transfer? Thnx!
