Hi everyone! Well i watched a skateboard clip on the internet and i was like OH MY GOD I WANT TO HAVE THE SAME COLOR... so i messed around with the scene files etc... but it's never the same so i searched on dvxuser but i didn't find anything. well i thought : alll right i'm gonna make a new topic! I own a dvx 102a.

So here is the clip : http://media.putfile.com/Wild-In-The-Streets-Podcast-part1
so if anybody know how to have the same image...

i have an other question when you're filming in 24p ( 25p for me pal ) we have to set the shutter speed at 1/25?

thank you very much!:love4:
 
I watched the clip, but in all honesty, the image looks pretty flat to me (just point and shoot at standard settings). They used a fisheye lens for most of it, and it doesn't look like much was done with scene settings or color correction. Maybe a few small adjustments here and there, but nothing major.

Beside's that, achieving the "image" a lot of the time is done in post, with color correction. Just go out and shoot at standard settings, then bring it into your editing station and play around with the colors till your happy.

When filming in 24P (25P), you do NOT have to set the shutter speed at 1/25. You can set it at whatever you want... but a basic setting is around 1/60th. If you're planning on shooting fast paced action stuff (skateboarding), a faster shutter speed is preffered.

I read on skateperception.com ( i don't know if you know that website ) that : "If your gonna shoot in 24p just remember to have a low shutter speed so the image isn't all choppy..." it ain't true?

so you think that they used like basical settings ( f5 or f6 ? ) a lot of skateboard movies are filmed like that.. check this screenshot : http://romdo.isuisse.com/dvx1.jpg

I don't know if i'm gonna film like that but i just wanna know how to do that so if you have more info;)

thanks for your answer by the way ;)

peace

This is 100% dependent on the look you want to achieve. High shutter speeds at 24fps will give a look (in terms of movement) akin to the fight scenes in "Gladiator."

The problem, though, is that when you're shooting high-motion reality stuff like skating, a higher frame rate is usually a better bet. This is why sports is almost always shot at 60 fps for broadcast.
 
Okay so set the shutter speed at 1/25 or 1/50 is better if i want a smooth clip. I guess that the video that i showed you is filmed at a low shutter speed..
so have you got an idea for the minimal settings that they used ? :) Mayby i can't get the same because it's ntsc ?

If you set the shutter speed to the same or slower than your frame rate (25p - 1/25), you'll get the smoothest motion.

I generally don't find the artificial "slow shutter" speeds appealing (where the shutter speed is slower than the frame rate; this is actually physically impossible and it's achieved by frame-doubling. Not my cup o' tea).
 
okay so i think that i'll always film with at 1/25 shutter...
you guys are you sure that there are no special scene settings in the clip ? it's amazing because there are sooo much skate movies which look like this clip..
if someone has a clue or sth like that ;)

peace
 
I watched about half of it, But as far as the beginning goes, it was tinted greenish-gold to go with the colors of emerica (shoe company) But as far as the rest that I saw, its pretty normal looking. I don't know how many kids have started shooting skating with a dvx, but I know that a majority shoot it with a sony vx series (vx1000, vx2000, vx2100) or a canon GL. Most also slap on a century fisheye (death lens) and just shoot pretty normal. Meaning that they white balance, set their exposure and thats about it. Occasionally theres some color correction, but it all depends. For example, there was a time when a lot of skate filmers were obsessed with getting a "golden" color to their clips.

But to answer your question more specifically, I would say that there werent any special settings going on, but hey, I could be wrong. I guess what you could really do, is try to contact the person that put together that montage and ask them.
