Re: Art History Trailer now up

The fact that this film was shot with the DVX100 is what sold me on buying it (ETA asap). I origially was set on buying the Canon XL1s (and the fact that 28 days later was shot on it. --- But if you read the fine print:

"Dod Mantle helped matters by securing the higher-resolving Canon EC (6-40mm) and Canon EJ (50-150mm) prime lenses to the camera bodies with Optex adapters." www.theasc.com

Now I'm no expert, but how do I know that is above and beyond my price range?

Anyway, can't wait to see this final 'print'.
 
Thanks for the support guys.

Thanks for the support guys.

It would be cool if we got Panasonics support on this so we could turn it into a feature - we shoot in on DVX100's and we blow away 28 days later...

We'll see how that works out - stay tuned for a pro trailer with colour correction/2d effects etc...

Re: Art History Trailer now up

couple gear questions.

1 i read on indieclub.com that you guys used prime lenses on the dvx is this true? and if so is there an adapter and how much does it cost?

2 why a 6x6 mattebox.

3 i saw a pic where you were using 2 cameras simultaneously on some sort of rig. something to do with the opening shot of the film. what exactly were you doing (if you don't mind)

Thanks. And GREAT JOB!!!!
 
Re: Art History Trailer now up

you can get a prime lens adapter for the DVX100 - I have seen pictures of it on the PS Technik website - but I have never seen one in reality.
WE did NOT use prime lenses.
We used the panasonic made anamorphic adapter but that's it - everything else was regular on-camera stuff.

We used a 6x6 mattebox as opposed to 4x4 or even 3x3 because of the size of the anamorphic adapter you need a 6x6 or else you get vignetting on full wide.

as to the double camera rig - here's a rough test clip - which will explain the effect we were going for - http://www.stealart.com/test_title.wmv

Enjoy - hope this answers all the questions.

Re: Art History Trailer now up

Although I viewed that at home on my wifes 'ghetto' computer, the imagery is flat out amazing. The second part of the shot is awesome.

I cannot even wait to get this camera. (OCT 15th is the date and you guys will be hearing about it constantly).

I was unable to figure out what effect you were going for on this (this is due to my wifes a** clown of a computer, which, by the way is also on the list of purchases that must be made soon; how can I edit films at home without a kick a** computer?)

Can someone explain to me what they see? Or I have to wait till Monday at my office.
 
hey...

hey...

When you say "what effect we were going for ?" do you mean on the trailer as a whole, the film or the title sample that I linked to...

the title sample needs to be seen at full frame rate for the correct effect to be observed...basically the idea is stitching two frames together to make a really wide frame which we can push back and forth into and out of...

as to the power of the computer - the trailer was edited on my laptop - which granted is not way old...but is not insane either.

you'd be surprised what you can do with a little time and some decent ideas (and some ok software)...

I'm happy you're getting the camera - I certainly think you're making the right decision...

will keep all you guys in the loop as to how the story unfolds with panasonics involvement in this project.

Re: Art History Trailer now up

Nevermind. I got it. I originally watched on my wifes computer (ghetto with a capital G); This a.m. I watched at my office and Now I an see what you were doing:

The 'pan' or 'wipe' (surely there is a tech term for this effect? If not, you should make one up)

That looked great. W o W. I am being tortured.
 
Re: Art History Trailer now up

its like a pan and wipe together.. maybe we should call it a pwipe. :)

Me and Nickybee actually made a better rig last week that should give a better result, maybe we can do a better demo soon.
 
Re: Art History Trailer now up

Maybe a panawipe? :D

dualpani :-/

Anyway, very innovative. Lately I have been thinkning of rigs similiar to this; I wonder:

1. How much is train track rails (I'm talking about the kind on the mini railroads you see at the mall...)

I wonder if this material could be combined to make a rail system that could be mounted literally anywhere and the camera rig put on it. Anyway, brain is always working.
 
Re: Art History Trailer now up

we used an overkeeper that worked very well, in fact the DP used it in almost every single shot.
 
Re: Art History Trailer now up

Anything new yet? I thought I remember reading somewhere that you hoped to finish some stuff up this weekend :D

Not to be a pest, but I can't wait to see to see more :)
 
coming soon - Art History update

coming soon - Art History update

new trailer being cut as we speak.
composer has been selected - which I'm very happy with.

We're calling in a few post production favours as well.
We are aiming to complete fine cut, score, sound mix, colour correct by Nov 7th in time for the DV festival.

enterdcable

this film is already in the can. I think there is a banner on our home page. I bought this DVD and you should to. It s a nice little movie and shows off the DVX. The score and sound are perfect.
 
Re: Art History Trailer now up

Will do. I ordered two batts as well over a week ago... and I've heard nothing about them... I'm sorta bummed because I needed them for tomorrow.
 
Re: Art History Trailer now up

Ouch on the batteries. Theyll get to you but it is an ongoing battle to get these suckers out. IN fact, there is a whole battery thread devoted to it.

:P
 
Re: Art History Trailer now up

Yeah... I was on it :-/ , but making movies myself, I completely understand. Though I've never met you guys I don't need to know you're all good people. Cheers ;D I'll just swallow the loss and go to b@h in the morn' and buy one extra back up for now.
 
Re: Art History Trailer now up

Very nice, I remember seeing this trailer last spring, after I ordered the DVX instead of the Sony PD-150. I Never regret my choice since then. ;)

Nice filtering job in the gym, I like the yellowish look.
