HVX-200 Footage, low light

That came out very nice. I liked the picture, edited speed change, and the dolly work. Basically I liked the whole thing! What dolly setup did you use? And if you don't mind, what exposure settings did you use for the night footage?
 
Thanks to all...
I rented a dolly on rails, with a jib.
For night footage i used some gain, which produced few grain. And the ringlite added a little more light. I was impressed by the white balance wich worked very well at low light.

Oh yeah! I totally agree with you. Youtube killed the video. It's wonderful as source and fun stuff, but posting footage there is totally useless.

Agreed! It's a very cool ad.

Can we see some full frame grabs? How grainy is it?

looks good; however, at the end in the party scene....I'm seeing lots of grainy blacks just like the problem that seems to be apparent in the DVX100's.
Is this just cuz of it being compressed for web, or is it still there on the full res footage?
Have you found that this problem still exists for the HVX in general?
 
It should be due to the fact that i boosted much the gain in post.
Anyway i have to agree that the HVX-200 (which remains my favorite camera under 100K$) has some grain.
 
Hint of realism: Add a shadow for your free-floating words, and put them on the objects in the scene. Takes 20 minutes, adds a lot of perceived value.
 
Top shelf! Your client should be happy. I loved how the first text item "Business Lounge" matched the movement of the camera and match the couch perspective in 3D. If you could do that to the other text items in the video it would make the production value seem a little higher. That is absolutely the only thing I would revisit. Like if the word "Relax" was also mapped to the couch behind it would be great.
