d90 footage - quick test in Toronto subway

Hey Matthew, that looks great.

I'm in Toronto myself, and couldn't find any stores that stock the D90. I'm looking to do some film out test with it. Where did you picks yours pick from?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

sadly, i'm in the same boat as you.. Nikon has yet to ship to canada... rumour has it for next tuesday but they also promised the stores fro sep 22nd... want d90 NOW!
 
Man.. you got to be kidding me.. That's a great friggin piece. LOVE that and what an image from this little cam... and you got to love that DOF... and ability to resolve under crappy lighting. Man alive that's sweet. At this price... It's a nice little glove-box cam or more and I bet ther will be camera support for this...



how's the post on this? I'm on FCP6.. easy to work with?

I had to get mine from B+H in NYC

I did all the post work from an SD 'print' I made in AE, then just cut normally like you would with DVX footage on FCP
 
Awesome work Matthew... as usual. Yes, the rolling shutter was noticeable, but I don't think it ruined the shots by any means. Just a very small flaw that the general audience probably won't care about, or possibly even notice.

Keep in mind people, that Mr. Bennett is a very talented DP, so don't expect to just grab this camera and produce results to this caliber. I'm sure you could give him a $19.99 "as seen on TV" HD camcorder and he could produce excellent results. That being said, the D90 may have it's place in the video world just yet ;)

Full on feature film? probably not... but for web output? abso-freakin-lutely.
 
Hey fellow Canucks,

D90 is now available in Canada. I picked one up from Henrys in the T.O area. Body 1119.00 for body only.

True.... And Thank you Mr. Bennett for the demo.... Truth is you had me in the first ten seconds.
Thank you for not shooting your cat, dog and flowers.

In case my question was drowned... Your clip is the only D90 clip I've seen so far where the shadows are not crushed. What did you do to bring them back?

When I made my SD 'print' in AE, I just bumped the output black levels up a bit. This has the added bonus of smoothing the banded compression in the lowlight areas of the images.

I wouldn't do this in camera - I find it's good to let the camera crush the blacks to RGB 000 because then there is less stress on it's jpeg compression.
 
have to say, that was much more engaging than the vincent laforet short. and further pushes me to the d90 from the 5d. as i've said a number of times, the content is what matters. and what you did there was good content and good look. that makes a great job!
 
Footage like this is the reason why I'm really excited about these DLSR cameras that shoot HD video!
 
I can't believe this thread got ressurected! Lazurus!

As soon as Lee Wilson developed the LEE FIX, I did an HD version of it, actually. I'll post it later.

I really need to go shoot something better in the subway though, the shots aren't really as good as the camera can get...
