Hello everyone,

I would love to hear some comments on this videoframe, filmed with the dvx100b in scene file 6.



Thanks!

there is quite a bit of artifacting, could be due to jpg compression or under exposure slightly.

i would up my exposure. And play with the levels slightly because as is, its hard to even tell there is lighting, lemme give it a go.

hmm, cant do much with the levels the way it is. oh well.

key light too heavy- hard shadows on table, face, and shoulder. Needs more fill light and back light- and try and place a few pictures or a plant behind him as you should avoid bare walls as much as possible- they scream "I shot this in my room"
 
either from outside the window shooting in. Or i would shoot a light towards the ceiling above his head using it as a bounce.
 
What kind of film is this? What kind of lighting rig are you using?

To me the image looks kind of dull and un-dramatic. Your subject looks too dark. Also, if you pull him away from the wall you can drop the boring wall out of focus and make your subject pop out more.
 
That dude looks mad. Are you forcing him to be in your movie?
Composition is fine, lighting is a little flat, but hey, throw a hot chick in the reverse shot and no one will notice.
Hot chicks LOVE the dvx. Did you know that?

:grin:

was it shot at your night? if you pan across that window you might want to have something out there. show some depth maybe...as for the background if you have white walls then add something to them...color will do you well. now if your walls were colored then you may not have to add elements. eyes wander and they need something to "please" them...
 
Thanks for the replies,
first of all, i understand that it is hard to give comment on a frame, without knowing what type of film it is, but i did not give any details on purpose, because i wanted to hear all comments.

This is the problem:
This is just a test shot, with a Hedler video light -300watt- on the table pointing down on the table (tomorrow i will shoot this for REAL and then rig my light on a construction so it can hang above the table) and when i shoot it for real, there are going to be 4 people sitting arround the same table playing a boardgame.

I want the look were people sitting around a table and only being lit from the lamp above the table. (but my houselamp is not enough, thefore i use a video light as the lamp) I can extra lit people with a chinese ball on a stick (have not done that in this test)

I this test, the exposure was enough, gain was off, and i lower the exposure myself. So i dont think there was too little light.

1 BIG problem is the colour: it looks green. That was not supposed to look green. This is how i done it: I did a manual WB with a piece of white paper UNDER the video light and selected the scene file 6 (noting done there)
So, is it normal to look a little green in Cinelike_D?

I hope this information is helpfull, to, well, help me :)
Tomorrow i shoot this for real, today iam going to test it again, so all suggestions are VERY welcome!

P.S. it looks to me to that the aspect ratio is not correct!
When iam going to shoot it for real, iam going to use the sqeese mode, because its a dvx100B you can frame sqeese mode because the viewfinder show the footage 16:9 corrected. So i dont think any other method is better than this? (for the orginal and A models its a different story because you cannot fame the shots good)
 
I still dont know why the footage seems so green, i did a manual whitebalance under the light that i used.... ?
