HF-G10 used to shoot promotional scenic cinematic footage

Very nice...I did noticed slight wobble/jello-effect around the edges of some frames...BTW, are you able to find the firmware version info on your camera? I have the same camera and the firmware info is not in the menus...
 
I haven't found a way to check the firmware version yet. I am not sure if it's possible at this point.

I did shoot a lot of hand held and reduced the jellovision with some stabilizing software.
 
Very good videos,you say mostly HF-G10 footage,what other cameras were used ?
It would be nice to download as watching the full quality downloded film always looks better .Anyway very impressed.
 
Thank you. I used the Canon HF G10 about 98% of the time and used a couple of shots from my Canon T3i DSLR with a Tamron f2.8 17-50 mm lens for the rest. The shot with the sunset over the dark lilly pads in the Lake Erie Coastal video was the T3i. The sun flares show that the lens is more than the 8 blade iris of the HF G10. I also used the T3i for the shot where the title says "Maumee State Park" - the plumage shot right before the beach panning shot.

Another video :)

Yes another lovely looking film as far as the colour look goes,but like the others it has a slight jerky look to it,due to vimeo and not being able to watch the origional film on my pc. My own films have the same problem,they dont play as smooth on vimeo as the orional film ,anyway certainly another inspiring film.
 
Now i have downloaded and watched the films on my tv i am realy impressed,i owned a Canon XA10 and now an HF-G30 but their colour is not up to the quality of yours.A lot of the time i use my little EOS M because i prefer the colour to my G30s.Yours looks more like 5D mkiii to me.
Another point to get widescreen ratio did you use a cinema screw in lens or is there a widescreen option on the cam that i cant find on mine.Thanks for showing.
 
I processed the video in Adobe Premiere - Increased color saturation and raised the black level with "Fast Color Corrector" - both around 15 % to 20 % depending on what looked pleasing to my eye. Raising the black level reduces the dynamic range (bad) but makes the colors pop with richer blacks (good) - that's why the video looks different.

Also, in order to get the widescreen Cinemascope 2.35:1 aspect ratio common to motion pictures, simply render out to a 1920x816 cropped resolution rather than 1920x1080 standard 16x9. It's actually nice to do this in editing because it gives you so much ability to move the image (framing) up and down to make a better shot.
