Any m2t sample footage in CF25? (Or any other CF25 low compression footage)

Lol.
Well i have to say that now that i have a real HD monitor, HDV footage sucks when there is too much moving in the screen! ;D
The same problem than is some old mpeg2 DVDs, when you have a close up of someone´s face, things become strange. It the shot is no so close, It looks perfect.
At least, once deinterlaced and at 720p, it looks reasonably good.

Now, the truth is that the FX1E is an astoundising good camera for SD work if used properly. To me, it gives me all the color sampling that i always wanted, the same progresive mode as the dvx100e, a big LCD screen, a very good lense, and even a lower price than what the DVX100e cost me two years ago.

And it is HD, so i can charge clients more money for the same work. ;D

The HVX should be great, but the footage that i have seen still looks like it has some kind of noise reduction algorithm and strange colors, so maybe the XL H1 is a better camera for the kind of things i like to do.

Hi,

What do you think about CF25 with HDV res?

Fernando
 
I think that for real 1080p, these small cameras are still too far away to give decent quality. You need the big HD cameras to get good results.

With 1/3" HDV cameras i see grain/noise, pixelization, high compression, poor latitude... For me it is not enough for going to 35mm.
 
Maybe the new generation (XL H1, HD100, HVX200) is the first 1/3" to allow DECENT 35mm transfer.
 
Ok. I made a "small" video at the finest quality that internet is allowing.
So here it is a wmv 720p from a Sony FX1 HDV deinterlaced video.

It is not bad, considering that the source was a 960x1080 interlaced image, then converted to 1440x1080, then deinterlaced to 1440x540 and then resized to 1280x720. Lol

have you ever used the fx1 for green screen or blue screen work, say a person, medium shot, up to the waist or full body, where you able to get a decent key?

We are considering to purchase another camera these coming days. Your comment on the fx1 is highly appreciated.

Videos you posted made us look at the fx1 again seriuosly.

Thanks

Ted
 
Gumonstro, tenho uma Fx1E (versao Pal) e o CF25 é muito bom. Mas sei que o CF24 tem uma vibraçao estranha. Até agora nao tenho do que reclamar da FX1...acho besteira pagar mais por uma camera de alta definiçao, porque é um formato que ainda vai evoluir muito nos próximos anos e porque ainda estamos longe dos dias em que a HDTV vai ser o standard (quando isso acontecer, com certeza absoluta vao existir cameras muito melhores). Qualquer dúvida por me contatar.

Saudaçoes cariocas de Barcelona

Hi Macgregor,

I´m starting now to explore DV world. Can you explaine me, why you do all this conversions?

Wich results you get when do a deinterlaced? a progressive image?

Many Thanks/Gracias

Fernando.

Hey man. it seems we cannot get in contact, when you are in i am out. Lets try to talk tonight.
Bye!

Note: yeeesss we are all bored with this girl. I have many others, but i dont have permission to show them. Copyrighted material...
 
Great footage! Incredible image and great CC! Thanks again, macgregor.

I gotta have a job like yours, man!

Que alívio ler um pouco de português aqui! Tudo parece muito mais familiar!

Rafa, eu tô convencido que a Z1 em CF25 é muito boa. O trabalho do macgregor e mais umas outras coisas que vi por aí não deixam dúvidas. No entanto, já tô pensando seriamente em ficar mais um tempo com minha câmera, juntar uma grana maior e investir na HVX200. No futuro os cartões vão baratear e aumentar a capacidade, ou seja, em 2 anos eu ainda terei uma câmera excelente, que provavelmente não fará feio frente aos lançamentos que virão. Mas ainda não tô CERTO disso. Gostei muito mesmo da Z1.

Qualquer dúvida eu entro em contato mesmo.

Aliás, fui à Europa uns anos atrás e fiquei bem frustrado por não ter podido conhecer Barcelona. Meus pais e uns conhecidos foram e disseram que é incrível. Vou começar a fazer planos!
 
Beleza! A Portugal eu fui, só dois dias, em Lisboa. Incrivelmente parecido com algumas cidades do Brasil, inclusive com a parte mais antiga da minha cidade. Da próxima vez quero ir ao Porto.

Cara, aqueles pastéis de belém de uma confeitaria antiga e bem tradicional de Lisboa me deixam com saudade até hoje. Só não lembro o nome do lugar.

Sorry guys for the foreign language chat. Couldn´t help it!
 
Macgregor, did you use the G35 on this footage? I know there is n DOF, but whenever you shoot with the Fx1+G35, the footage seems to have way more latitude (even when there is no visible dof). Can you give us a little inside on your CC?
 
Bem...Rafa, gumonstro, Fernando (ESTC?), aqui fala-se a língua de Camões, Pessoa, Vinicius, Jobim, etc., etc., etc..

Saudações - uma cedilha e um til logo numa mesma palavra, cool! - lusófonas a todos!

Belém...que deu o nome aos pastéis, do mesmo lugar de onde partiram as caravelas também para o Novo Mundo...

Sorry guys but the portuguese is the our beloved native language!
 
Macgregor, rawfa remembered to ask something I was about to ask you too: what CC did you do?

(Verdade, Emanuel, saíram da Torre de Belém, bem lembrado!)
