Here's the link of a docu-film about the earthquake of L'Aquila (it is in Italian, but here we need only to look). It's a very big, dramatic, terrible, disaster.
We are shooting using Pmw-Ex3, awesome cam. Variable frame rate 30p camera car, for example, are working great and are very very fluids (we are shooting 1080 25p). The brightness of the cam helped us a lot. We are filming in very hard conditions... sand, rain, etc. The Ex is doing the work perfectly. Awesome look.
Only problems are: the weight (not reccomended for guerrilla-doc) and the shoulder mount...we've got 2 stabilizers, but the stabilizer+the cam = too heavy in the long run.
Best regards,MJC

Looks great Mauro! Nice job (is that appropriate to say about disaster footage?). One minor suggestion though, I'd shoot 30p if you can so you don't get as much judder with your fast pans. But maybe that was the look you were going for.
 
30p won't make for very good conversion to PAL DVD & broadcast in PAL countries, of which Italy is one.

You might note that of the 220 countries listed on http://www.kropla.com/tv.htm only 60 are NTSC based with 160 countries being PAL/SECAM based.

To me that judder looks more like UTube converting it from 25fps to 30fps or something & repeating frames, rather than judder in a 25p capture.

Well done Mauro on your efforts

30p give no problem if you overkrank...it's a normal rallenty, but is not extreme like 60 and I like it a lot. Today we made lot of Camera car using pick up and tripod and I used Nikon 300m tele via adapter to reach very dangerous place...where is not possible to walk.
TY Guys
