So I did some tests for my own use, then thought I'd share... Your mileage may vary, etc. I'm prepping for some green screen work with the GH5s and have had great luck with the Natural picture profile in the past, so I wanted to compare it with VLOG-L at the low base ISO at two different ISO...

Hi all... did a fun summer project for the Wyoming Governor's Counsel on Impaired Driving using the C500 and the Odyssey7Q recording Canon 4K raw. http://youtu.be/Dju6NFrbzT0 While I love the FS-700 Odyssey combo, sometimes I think the C500/Odyssey match-up doesn't get enough attention in...

Hi all... did some tests yesterday and fiddled around a bit today with the footage. First, new info from so many folks coming in on the best settings for color, detail, noise, etc. make shooting yesterday like shooting an eternity ago. I shot some blue and green screen with -4 detail, and it...

Whenever I evaluate a camera system, I start with the issues that impact my work, and they always fall into a few categories. First, I'm curious how the camera responds in terms of noise and image structure, followed by how to define the best sharpness settings, and then how it performs for...

Hey, it's a better title that "EX1 vrs. RED" or somesuch, as I think you'll be happy with whatever camp you're coming from after reading this. Bottom line, had the chance to do some shooting with my EX1 and do some tests against some REDs... one thing I was keenly interested in is how they...

Hi all; Recently finished this project for the RE/MAX International Convention held last week... thought there'd be some interest despite the specialized content because it has some green screen work and of course it's shot entirely with the EX1. Directed and DOP'ed by the supervising...

I sold my HVX200 last month and the new owners, CafeFX, had it and accessories stolen this week on the set of the movie "Love Ranch" in New Mexico. The serial number is D6TC00381. Century wide angle adapter #119775 I will be watching e-bay and Craigs list of course, but I'd appreciate it if...

I havent seen any rates for news stringers I'm thinking i will get my new a1 and change my rates per story what do you all think would be a good rate for news footage per station per story.

Hi all... back in June I was involved in a real-estate agent recruitment film for RE/MAX. I've posted before here on several aspects of the job; http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=68217&highlight=RE%2FMAX Reaction to it was so strong, the CEO of RE/MAX decided it should be re-edited...

... Nice article on our own Marc Singer and his work with the Marines in the latest issue of Highdef... talks about his P2 experiences. Nothing new he hasn't discussed here, but some nice pictures. Regards Woops, wrong forum, sorry... please move to HVX...

Hi all... I've been working on this project for several months, the shoot was back in June and now all the VFX are done so I though I'd share some of the production. Every couple years RE/MAX puts together a new recruitment media package including an up-tempo themed video. For the last couple...

Hi all, I'm helping a guy remotely put one of those MWAVE "magic box" USB2.0 On The Go portable drives together so he can backup his P2 in the field, and I had a general OS10/Mac question... The drive needs to be formatted as Fat32... will this be doable from his G4 laptop? Does the Mac OS...

Hi all, last Monday I shot a commercial for the Mechanics Bank in Northern California... all green screen setups on a soundstage. 720 24pn, delivered as a letterboxed SD product. Because turn-around was very tight, I brought a Vegas box with After Effects on set, and was able to off-line a...

Hi all, just installed the Edius demo from the NAB 2006 handout DVD and had a question... I'm trying to experiment with capturing "live" via firewire from my HVX in HD (both 720 and 1080) to Edius, but don't see any reference to HOW to do this in the help file... any help would be appreciated...

Hi all, well, I've been sort of "skirting the truth" to you all in this topic I started... http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=58245 I wanted to wait until there were 200 views before coming clean... the clips are all bluescreen keys, and I wanted your eyes on them without the knowledge...

Hi all, Setting up some lighting schemes for generic interview situations, did this quick test, looking for feedback. The setup: Early morning, shooting into sun, subject somewhat isolated from BG, used amber board for right fill, reflector bounced through 4 by 4 silk for main key...

Hi all, going through the evaluation period with codecs and programs for working with MXF's on the PC. At some point this week I'll probably throw Cineform ConnectHD into the loop as well, as I see it now has MXF support. General question... both Raylight and Canopus seem to add setup to the...

Hi all... been using my MWave OnTheGo USB2.0 OTG enclosure with a 40 gig drive for a couple weeks and it has been a great in the field solution. Even used it to nab footage from cameras for a client when there was no other option to get the camera close to a computer. Zero issues with...

Hi all... my producer is looking for a local HVX to rent for two days in or near Orlando, and she said she was having difficulty finding a rental house that carries them. NOT looking for a camera from a private owner (or else I'd ship mine down) because this is a skydiving test and will be...

This weekend I decided to update my avatar to something RED related, in honor of NAB 2006 and, IMO, the most exciting thing going on at this show... while building some elements for this image, I got a little carried away with the whole process and ended up with something I can only describe as...
