They look great!!! Did you use any special Preset>
thanks for your input everyone. i shot this pretty much flat and did some color correction in post.the lighting for these were a basic lowel kit and two inky 200 watt fresnel with bounce reflectors.this hdv codec has realy held up well under the heavy color correction i've applied.love my canon a1!!!!!

Looks good. It's interesting, but a lot of people are finding that Canon's HDV codec is more robust than they had initially thought. If you shoot flat, it's surprising how much room there is for grading. It's ironic when the camera has so much built-in painting ability, but why would you want to restrict the potential of your final image when a computer can do a much better job? Shooting flat makes sense for those that like CC...but it's still boring to look at on set.
I've always been a proponent of getting out of the HDV format for final renders/finishes etc, but for roughing things out and even making a backup copy on tape, I haven't had any problems with the format. I'm just anal about that "last mile". That's where intermediate formats make the most sense, IMO.
