in the close ups, I had to add a TAD of diffusion (in post) to take out some of the wrinkles ... The detail in this camera is friggin' outstanding.

5 bucks to anyone who can guess the song he's covering (while in front of the blue backdrop) : )

Beautifull footage guys! We're noticing the same challenge...The picture is SO sharp we're having to pay much more attention to make-up and lighting. Those skin imperfections are now so obvious. I haven't yet played around with any detail settings to help out. You fixed it in post!

Was detail set to ON in camera for this sequence?

 

[FrankC]

My bad...I didn't check...But I'll bet it was. I'm just getting used to all the many many ways to tweak this camera. I know a bunch of folks on this site are posting Picture Profile settings they use in various shooting situations. That ought be really useful.

Great lipreading!

Just an audio engineering note: The usual ugly pop/blast screen is missing. Something that only studio types would miss.

don't know about the song he's covering... but what about the music on the actual piece?

Cornelius ?

Jon - hah, you guessed it! he's doing bacharach covers ...

DCSensui - yes, we had it in for the shot, but then looked like there was TOO much crap in there so we pulled it ... but know what you mean, good eye ! : )

Save my $5 - I'll look you up for a beer next time I'm in LA - heck with interest maybe by then you'll be able to afford that brew at LA rates! (What's a Peroni go for at your favorite watering hole?)

looks great! but every time i download it the audio is not there, just a short electronic piece of music that repeats.

trust me, i took the audio out for a reason ... he had nothing interesting to say. plus, for the singing, he was just lip syncing so it kind of seemed pointless, being that the playback was blaring

This is making me want to pick one of these camera's up, please stop posting such good looking footage. My sony grudge is thawing...
