I have received by SGBlade a few weeks ago. I am testing several lenses right now accorting to sharpness,speed, handling and bokeh.
the lenses I am testing right now are Canon FD´s. Right now I am wandering if there will be much difference between a 50mm 1.8 and a 55mm 1.2. Has anyone...
Hi all,
has anyone SDI captured sample footage ? I would be really interested in a comparison between the DVCPRO HD original P2 footage and the AJA IO results.
Hi all,
I want to buy a small dolly system in the near future. The 2 that look most promising are the Pocketdolly from Kessler or the Glidetrack.
Any experience / comments appreciated.

I have ordered 3 batteries from the DVX homepage and didn´t get any feedback. ( Order placed Nov. 6th) Anybody knows where to call or where to get a real feedback. This is a quite disappointing situation. I have send 2 email without any reply.
Today I tried some wildlife shots and poorly failed due to very bad conditions.
Lots if snow and dark furred little beasts. I tried to handle it with CineD and came around with tweaking the setting. The worst on the animal shoots is they don´t move when they should an vice versa.
Anybody go...
Today I have received Noah´s Color DVD Tutorial and I can heavily recommend it.
It is the first time I really used color and the results are not that bad I think.
BTW: These shots where made after a very disappoint 5 a.m. morning sun timelapse trial. Look at the clouds there was no sun at all.
Is there any real frame by frame comparison between 4:2:2 and 4:2:0. Especially in cc.
I read the comparison article between the XH A1 and the HVX200. In the comparison the colors of the XH A1 where not impressive. A lot of comments said: " but you can do cc and then there will be no...
I have read several posts about the scene file setting and the more more I care about the flatter my settings get. But wouldn´t it be easier to shoot at the lowest settings in the scenefile and do the rest in post.
I have to do some cc anyway. Any advice appreciated.
After opening the footage in Quicktime I checked the pixel count and is shows quite strange numbers.
1248 x 702 pixels for 720p25
1888 x 1062 pixels for 1080p25
Anybody got a hint ?
Hi all I am messing around with HVX infinite foxus and open iris.
It looks like the images are a bit soft(er).
Can anybody help me to understand why ?
What is the min. distance to have best results ?
Today I went to a local retailer and picked up a fig rig for a test over the weekend. the first shots I made where not that impressivly stable like a steadycam but far more stable then the HVX out of the hand. btw I think the steadycam shots tend to be a bit surreal.
anybody else tested the...
Yesterday afternoon I got my HVX and here are my first comments:
1) really solid build
2) workflow with the P2 and Final Cut Pro 6 is amazingly convenient
3) editing the 1080/25p is amazing. you can do so many things in realtime (FCP 6) even on a Powerbook G4 1,67. I was blown away.
4) first...
