Documentary Footage w/HPX170

Thanks Gary!

I accidentally underexposed quite a bit. I'm so used to my HVX200's LCD, seems the HPX170's renders the images differently. That resulted in overly saturated colors, had to desaturate in post and compensate for the underexposure. The footage held up surprisingly well, very little noise. The hospital and school interiors were very dark.
 
I've owned a 201 (the european 200a) for two months and, in my opinion, the two cameras have not exactly the same image. I don't know exactly why, but the 170 image looks a little better and more clean. Perhaps the different lens or perhaps I'm wrong, but I have this sensation every time I see a 170 footage.

Anyway it's a good video: perhaps I should used the zoom less frequently, but these are only different points of view, the video is good for its aims

Haven't had the opportunity to work with a 200a, but it seems the image is significantly cleaner and sharper on the 170 vs the 200. Or maybe I'm just rationalizing a 5200 impulse buy.

I've got a bad habit of zooming frequently. Usually I prefer a slow creeping zoom, but when I find the frame be static I get trigger happy and start zooming.
 
Segarza,

Beautiful and moving.

What music did you use?

Reminds me of a Humanitarian doc I did 10 years ago next to Mt. Popocatepetl in Mexico.

Very nice work.

Thank Cheno! This was shot in and around the Copper Canyon in northern Mexico. The music I believe my assistant editor downloaded from royaltyfreemusic.com
 
very nice! what settings did you use and is this shot with the stock lens? any way of getting a quicktime instead of Vimeo?
 
Thanks.
It was shot with the stock lens. Since the DVX I shoot all my exteriors with a 85B+Pol filter. The hospital scenes where shot in 720/24pn, slow motion was shot at 48fps. Everything else was shot at 1080i/24pa.
