Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

Mr. Land

Is this with the DVX? That was amazing! I don't know what to say but wait till you give us more information. You are truly something.
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

its not the DVX... me and Nick are modifying a "scientific" camera for HD cine (i.e stunt use).. its bw untill the new model comes in next month. It can go from 24-5000fps, and upto 2200fps in 1024x1024 rez. There are a few things like the strobing etc. we gotta figure out but its pretty cool regardless...
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

Mr Land, is it possible to modify something like that for the DVX? Just out of curiosity, how much would a camera like that cost?
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

unfortunately I dont think the DVX can do it.. but its two different worlds, this camera wont record sound etc.. we are just trying to make it so we dont need to rent an Arri to capture hispeed footage during a normal DVX or HD shoot... the Varicam only goes to 60fps.

You can call me Jarred :)
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

can you post a 48fps? there was a discussion on this on XL-2 board and I wanted to see it. anyway, can't tell the difference.
what does it look like in full res? does it look video ish or film ish?

thanks. 8)
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

Jarred, I've been calling everyone Mr. on this forum young or old. It's just something I'm used to saying I guess and you forgot to answer my second question. How much? Thanks Mr...I meant Jarred. :)
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

it looks like film.. has a very narrow dof and with a good lens its a solid image.

Its funny cause me and Nick had a similar discussion on the whole 48fps put into a 24fps timeline etc... but ended up realizing we where arguing the same point.

Cost of the camera above.. about 35k US.
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

Interesting stuff - thanks for posting, Jarred! :)
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

Jarred , is this in the same persuite as the guys over @ DVinfo are doing with their 4:4:4 cmos HD cams?
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

Nice, I always like the slow motion picture. Look great.

Here is a small movie who look very nice, must have been shoot in very fast speed.

not to sure what they are doing.. but perhaps.

Ans yes, if the color model is acceptable, we would have no problem renting it out.
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

..have you guys looked into other scientific cameras at all? i was checking some out some a while ago, and came across what these guys were doing with a 10,000 fps color military testing camera. :

i have no idea how much it cost or how they got ahold of it though.. :-/
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

Yeah we looked at quite a few models and met with some companies.. but most would kick down to SD at higher rates (or not even be HD) as well, we found that even 5000fps is a little excessive.. there is very little real world "film" applications for that speed.

The goal for us is to completely eliminate the lab for a feature.. It really is a setback having a movie shot 99% in i.e. HDCAM and still need to do the film stock/shoot/print/Scan for slow motion. The good thing with the camera we have now, is it records internally to a non-volatile ram array in camera, and offloads to a laptop over firewire when done.
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

agreed, i couldnt see a use for anything over what youve ot unless you want to watch a guy fly through the air for 1/2 an hour ..ram array? thats awsome. takes care of alot of issues you would run into with other setups. firewire is really nice as well. the price seems reasonble too considering all that your getting from the cam. how big is/are the chip/s in that thing. what are you, or do you plan on shooting the rest of the HD feature on though. varicam?
 
Re: 2000fps camera tests... check this out

Hey Jarred,

Would it be possible if I tag along with you guys a few times with these tests? I would love to check it out and learn how it all works. I would like to use this in the future so I'd like to know as much as possible.

Let me know! Thanks.

Norm

The last link on the page - "Fists of Dawn" is a two day test project me and Jarred just completed.

Check it out - it's a large file I know but I pretty much guarantee it will surprise or impress you or both...
