Hey Zak, footage i've seen so far looks good, just make sure 1st AC is spot on, some of the stuff i've seen is looking a little soft...Unless of course you want it to look that way. For the most part looks good. Congrats on the project, keep it coming! :beer:

hi andrew, thanks for the kind words and feedback. in addition to what Matt said, we are intentionally allowing the subject(s) to drift in and out of focus, and there is a lot of handheld camerawork so finding a sharp frame for a framegrab can be challenging sometimes. however, if you are referring to the "teaser" then you are 100% correct, that stuff is way, way, way too soft and was actually culled from camera test footage, not an actual scene from the motion picture.

btw, it's worth pointing out that Matt has joined the production and we are thrilled to have him. he makes a fine addition to the team.
 
Zak, some technical questions:

1. What monitor is used for pulling focus, and where did you get that attachment arm to the HVX?
2. Is that a Brevis? Doesn't look like you are using rails.

Thanks
 
The monitor is one I built myself: a 7" lilliput LCD monitor, a VGA transcoder, and a lightweight battery to power it. cost was about $400-$450 for the same resolution as a Marshall at about a third the weight. The arm is a noga israeli arm I purchased at filmtools on burbank. and yes, that is one of two Brevis35 units I own. No rails, which is why I chose the Brevis.

Thanks, and fantastic film idea, website and b-roll....keep it comin!
 
in following this thread (http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=103949) I built it out with the following...

LCD -> http://www.lilliputweb.net/ts619.html (black, not silver version though)
Israeli Arm -> http://www.filmtools.com/isar1baand1t.html
VGA Transcoder -> http://www.mayflash.com/vgabox/vga001/vga001.htm
batteries -> http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3194

thanks for the kind words on our little production. things will "go dark" a bit during production (October) but following that, I will be inundating this place with access to stills, clips, behind the scenes, previews, etc, etc, etc.
 
Does the Israeli arm screw right into the Lilliput (upside down)?
Also, how long do these batteries power your LCD? I assume you keep several around.
Thanks again Zak

yes, the arm screws direc tly into the bottom of the lilliput. three batteries would power it all day. i have six.
