post your best results with the D90

for some reason the downloaded file plays really choppy.
it almost feels "unreal" it's so real. like "cloverfield 2" - except instead of a big monster, they are attacked by mass amounts of alcohol. :)
seems as if the jello got a bit more noticeable as the evening went on (less steady hands, maybe?)

Aahah thanks. Alot of people have said it looked like Cloverfield, but I'd like to think my camerawork was abit less shakey LOL.

Does it really play choppy?
I encoded h.264,
2 pass 1800kbps
keyframe every 33 frames,
AAC audio 160kbps
in a .mp4 container

Using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3's Export Media Encoder.
What's the optimum setting for the d90 format to output to web (ie vimeo?)?

Bandanadan,
Really nice footage. Out of interest what lens did you use to shoot with?

Thanks! I'm still peeved at the 50hz smoke lines, it still takes me a good minute or 2 to really get rid of between each lighting condition and that aint cool during home movies.

I used a 1.4 50mm AI full manual NIKKOR lens. The kit lens was just too plain heavy, was constantly plauged with the 50hz smoke lines that I could not at all fix, and at 3.5 aperture was too dark in the karaoke bar. Makes a good still lens though.
 
all good on the download. might have been my crap computer. i imported it into FCP and it played fine. weird. on a good note, that clip inspired a music video for a friend which i'll be shooting as soon as i get my d90. i hope you don't mind, but i set some clips from your video (with another i pulled from vimeo) over her song to give her a feel of how it could go and she loved it and can't wait to shoot the video.

all of the d90 users who've posted their footage have been a HUGE inspiration. learning from their triumphs and mistakes, getting tech tips and such. thanks to everyone. i can't wait to start contributing (most likely in the mistakes arena, heh).

bad@ss, nice job.

by the way, who the f is as sick as i am when i do a vimeo search on the 'd90' and the first thing you see is that stupid focus test of the bald head guy with a beard in the search results? then you click on 'sort newest' and most of the time the d90 videos are 'out of box test' 'test' 'test2'.....if you're gonna do a test, make one like the video just posted! great job, what were your settings?
 
PHEW!

Just finished reading this whole thread plus watching all the videos...MY EYES!

the D90 does look good...my question is...Does the image look good when you play it thru a broadcast monitor? Would the image produced by the d90 be suitable for broadcast? Let's say a 30 second commercial?

Anyone has experience with this?
 
I've used mine in production on two occasions. The first one was only closups. It worked great ouputing in PAL resolution. Sharp and dynamic. I used Kino flows and didn't experience banding after locking AE.

The second one showed the codecs weakness. It was an interview where the subject had a black jacket and there was a mostly black sign in the background. The bitrate fell and I couldn't get as sharp and clean picture as the closups from the first shoot.
The lighting also this time Kino flows 4x4.
In the end it did work out ok but just barely. I had to crush the black and stretch sharpness to get it somewhat ok.
