XDCAM EX1 on the road blog

[ffaf07]

Philip, while your adapter work is a beaut, I think you should do a lot more adapter free work. Even if it's just for fun, a lot of potential buyers may be shooting adapter free, and it's interesting to compare the looks.

Plus the adapter free look of the EX1 is a bit of a beaut too. I would love to see more footage like this.

 

[philip bloom]

sure but I shoot for me, or for commerical work. hence I shoot to make it look the best. You can see some adaptor free work under Religion and on my blog recently.

I did some food porn on the ex1 last week. Mostly shot 1080p with some 720p overcrank stuff.

You can see some of the shots cut together for the hell of it (the clients have given me permission to post this, the actual footage is being edited, graphically played with then stuck on hd plasmas in movie theatres).

but best of all, i am posting for the first time UNGRADED!!! some of it is underexposed and it pains me to do it, but what the hell!. Also look under the rolling shutter section for the finished lithuania news item. mostly shot letus free and handheld.

All on my blog!

btw i love the kgb handheld montage. great look, especially the nurse in the flourescent lighting. nice one.

 

[philip bloom]

oh dear. got another ex1. a rather good client of mine has part paid me with one he didn't need!

 

[socbret]

Ha! Way to go Philip!

If I were you I'd remove the word porn from the URL. I'm trying to access at work and it's blocked :laugh:

 

[philip bloom]

that's bonkers. it's a very common phrase in the UK. Food shot to look good is called food porn!

 

[emotepix]

Yeah.
Over here it might go: "just checking in, old son, what's your game, then? porno with turnips, is it? the FDA will be wanting a word with you"

Yeah.

Turnip porn, my favourite.

now have 3 different shoulder mounts. All of varying prices. Results very interesting. Will do a blog entry soon

Have you tried the H Preston shoulder mount? At the moment you get one free with the EX1.

After a while I guessed that, but I did get an image of a bunch of overweight dirty old men watching a video of young skinny people eating all sorts of food; "Oh my, she's going for the [SIZE=-1]Chocolate Cake[/SIZE] with Ice Cream!!!" (Starts to breath heavily...)

:laugh:

Sorry Phil, I have a twisted mind...

My shoulder mount test is online on my blog


Oh and don't forget to listen to my interview with Larry Jordan for Digitalproductionbuzz.com here: http://www.digitalproductionbuzz.com/LiveThisWeek/

it says 6pm, am assuming that is a USA time of some sort!

I did a ww1 drama shoot using 2 ex1s yesterday for Blackbox Media based out in Wales.

Some was shot with Letus Extreme, some without. Here are some screen grabs.

Doing an edit together of some footage today

 

[philip bloom]

here are some behind the scenes photos taken by Mark Dawson, a great guy who contacted me on the forum and came along to help out.

 

[Stevet]

Thanks Philip.
Those grabs look great, looking forward to seeing the footage.

 

[wartez]

looks awesome!

 

[Essami]

Really nice colors and really crisp/sharp look. These are graded already right?

[philip bloom]
