DVX Scene Settings - In Camera Looks

You should try your self, if you want to have a bluish look, I suggest that you try to go out side. Set your White Balance to Preset and hit the 3,2K settings for your White. It will turn your image blue and it's normal.
 
hi my name joey and im new i registered today just want to say thank you to all your post of how to make different film looks with dvx100a you all did a great job on teaching us newcomers some great tricks thank you very much :)
 
Hey everyone, Does the default Flat settings of the DVX100 is the flattest I can get? Or I have to modify some Scene Settings to get flatter images?
 
Hi, does anybody know how to get this look by scene settings?

I already tried the 70s look, but it doesn't look like some of this old washed out movies.
maybe, because of the white ballance...has anybody some settings or images for example?

and I hove no software (to get this look) !

thanks =)
 
According to "The DV Rebel's Guide" the best settings (Flat) in the DVX for color correcting are,

Detail Level -7
V Detail Level -7
Detail Coring 0
Chroma Level 0
Chroma Phase 0
Color Temp 0
Master Ped -6
A. Iris Level 0
Gamma Cinelike
Knee Auto
Matrix Normal
Skin tone Dtl Off
V. Detail Freq thin
Progressive 24p(ADV)


I used those setting a couple of times and was really surprised at how the footage looks and acts like film!
 
Those of you looking for "flat" so that you can work color in post should keep in mind -- you can always desaturate color later, but if it's not there to begin with, then you'll have nothing to work on. This is especially important in SD 4:1:1 where there isn't all that much color information in the first place.

Thank you.
I will try these settings.
I won't do any postproduction except editing.
I have a relly good UV-filter, maybe it will make the picture look a bit better and bring some colors back.
I don't know.
I will try.

I tried, it does look like a washed out movie. But the pictures is pretty unsharp.
I also tried a open iris and full gain, so that the pictures looks a bit grainy.
I must say that this really feels like an old movie, but it's still unsharp.
I will try to figure out the best compromise between sharpness and that "washed out" look.
I really like the coloring of old italian western flicks like, but the white balance doesn't fit.
Has anybody a solution, maybe I should use a brown color card or so? I just don't kno how to trick the white balance to be different. It always is the same blue-ish or brown-like color.
:(
 
The open iris will make the focus softer, because only a narrow plane of the image will be in focus. This will get worse as you increase your zoom.

No. A UV filter does nothing to the visible spectrum of light. It really doesn't do anything at all for digital work.

I must say, that the quality of the picture is better with one. Or let's say it seems to look better.
I don't know why.
I use a Hoya HD UV-Filter, sometimes a cir-pol.

by "better quality" I mean this, looks like: http://kago.biz/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/yltrafioletoviy-filter.jpg

I use a KR12 filter to get better white balanced coloring for this "old movie" look. That one really works well.
I tested a green-filter to get better black and white picture, works also pretty good.

A "cir-pol" is a polarizer. Those photos were taken as "before and after" with a polarizer filter, not a UV filter. (Another version of that same photo group is here: http://www.digitaltoyshop.co.uk/Circular_polarizer_filter_P_system_t1450_6381)

They are not the same thing. A polarizer, if used properly, can be a helpful tool in bright sunlight, especially in cutting through haze. A UV filter doesn't do that.

I just tested the polarizer outside with the film-look-settings and some color corrections by my own.
Now, I got the look I was looking for.
Thank you =)
 
V/H/S II Look

V/H/S II Look

I just saw V/H/S part II.
They used a DVX100 in this "religious massacre" segment.
I wonder what the scene files could have been.
The footage looks pretty "filmish" campared to the other shots that where made with some kind of sony or jvc camcorder that shot HD, I think.
The picture was dark and had high contrast, but really cool.
Anybody know how to get the information?
I can't compare my shots with the movie, because I don't own a DVD or such,yet.
 
I see alot of people setting their detail level at -3 but wouldnt you want the picture more on the sharper side? I set mines to 2 or 3 lately ive been liking it. But any higher than that and it starts to look to too sharp. Any thoughts?

Also, what does a. iris do? where shuld i have that set?
