G35 HD Sample Discussion

I watched the clip again... I think what I'm seeing is just plain old HVX 200 noise + a little of what h.264 adds after compression.
 
I have seen the video this afternoon and I have say it's pretty awesome. There's parts where it's hard to tell but you can see some grain, but it definitely doesn't look like static grain from the adapter...it looks more like video grain. I'd like to see some more HD footage...1080 this time :D
 
Another good new is that there's some VERY wide shots there and absolutely no sign of vingeting....shot with 14mm prime 17-35, 28-70.
 
Could someone who also has it, upload a mirror as kholi suggested?
I´m affraid by the time I can download tomorrow, the US dvxuser will have burned up cardmavericks bandwith...
Gotta go sleeping now...

Do you know the Camera zoom settings, etc? Were they posted at all?

Any mention of how far you have to zoom in on the GG before you fill the frame?
 
Sorry, Kholi. That is about as much information as I have. I'm sure Jonathan will pop up eventually. And I'm sure there's be some 1080 footage soon (wink wink).
 
If I didn't already buy my SGPro, I'd be all over this. I love the design and the fact that it covers the focus ring so you don't need to gaff it or build a device to keep your focus locked in.

I wish they would have sent out an email a few months ago letting all of the preorder people know that the G35 was nearing completion, because I probably would have waited for it. That said, I'm stoked on my SGPro! If anyone wants a preorder code, I'm happy to give it away. *EDIT* and Jared asked first so he got it.

Just finished watching it.
I have to say - I'm very impressed.

No signs of vignetting that I can see.
No visable grain (to my eye anyhow).

Impressive.
I'll start uploading it now to my server now - pending Jonathan's approval I'll post a link here later.
 
Hey all it's Jonathan Here. HD compression is a skill I'm still learning. :) Most of that noise you see is plain old starved HVX sensor. The shoot was late in the day 4:00ish and there was a thick cloud layer as we were on the verge of a snow storm. There might have even been +3db of gain (carousel) added (insert Gasp here) So it was pretty much the darkest exterior I have ever shot. Also, most of the footage was shot at 1/120th ie 60p to display that ability. I'm waiting for it to stop raining/snowing shoot some high speed 1/250 and 1/500 running action stuff to further show how fun that can be with a static adapter (no moving screen = no grain at high shutter speeds) And of course you will ask the question I cannot pull directly from my brain which is what is the Z level on the HVX. I'm not a fan of shooting from the hip when it comes to specs like this... but I will say it's in the 50's. Z56 maybe? I don't have a definitive number mainly because this demo was shot without a 24x36mm mask so I remember not taking a firm note of that. Either way the zoom is pretty close to the 24x36mm frame. All the lenses were at 2.8 and the only lens that has a bit of optical vignetting was the 14mm (ecu of foot running in frame). I ran some film and DSLR tests with the 14mm to see if it made a difference and it still had vignetting regardless. Kind of hard with a 14mm corrected lens, even at a $1400.

Anyone is welcome to host it on their server no problem. Enjoy and hit me up on email if you have any questions. Please check out our FAQ page on our website (I know it's kind of a lame FAQ) but we are working on it ;)

I'm cutting together some 1080 24P footage that I shot on my A1 that I will post as soon as I get a rough of it. Keep posted. Thanks!
 
Link posted! Check the first post, and RIGHT CLICK SAVE AS!

Please help mirror the file. I'll update the first post with mirrors as they become available.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info, Houser. Reason I ask about the zoom was because on just about every camera (DSLR or not, as you've seen) the widest lenses will probably show some edge softness/vignetting. When it was mentioned that there was none, that piqued my interest as far as how far the Camera's zoomed in when utilizing the unit.

As with the Letus, I'm sure you can also correct that vignetting with the G35 by zooming in a tad bit. The FOV you lose (to me) doesn't seem to be great enough to be concerned about, perhaps an easier solution to swallow over being upset about soft edges and having to crop in post.

Looking forward to seein the clip with mine own eyes.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHA

I guess the real discussion will start around 3 hours from now.

I won't know how big a beat down my bandwidth will be taking until early tomorrow morning.... :Drogar-Shock(DBG):

Which was the whole point of the Megaupload. Faster server, I believe, and an extra mirror.
 
Don't they have download limits though? Every time I try one of those links (freebie storage for files) for something popular, its always shut down because of exceeded download limits.
