Canon HF100 Rocks!

It is amazing what you can do with the $600 Canon HF100.

Here's a clip from the third feature film I'm shooting with it. It is just the camera and natural lighting: no special lenses, no lights, just post processing the images:

You have a unique style I must admit. It does bother me when key subjects are out of focus. What do you edit with?

It looks like you shot it with a 600 dollar camera and no lights

:bath:

HF100 is a very nice cam.

I think these clips speak more to your talent in post-processing rather than the strengths of the cam. That being said, I like the images this camera produces and I think you're getting what you can out of it.

How are you dealing with focus control a la the tiny joystick on the lcd screen ? I thought I'd adjust to this but I still find it annoying; both hands are usually required (in order to steady the cam). Looks like most of your shots are stationary with focus remaining the same throughout.

Thanks!

Yeah, I typically either lock the focus or just let it auto-focus and consider any shifting of focus a "quality" of the filming process. I agree that the joystick for focusing is a limitation.

Yes it is quite awesome I agree!
