HVX and SDX900 used on AMD web site.

[Whatever]

We used panasonic products for a web site that we recently launched for a client.

http://virtualexperience.amd.com/

Most of the video was shot on the SDX900. (The keynotes, etc.)

I did use my spiffy new HVX200 and a FS-100 to shoot over 30 hours
of DVCpro50 footage for the behind the scenes mini-doc, the green curtain:
(Click on main hall, then 'green curtain' to view.)

Probably the coolest thing on the site is an easter egg that lives in the
AMD booth. Click near the top of the computer chip in the background.
A little spoofy video should come up. Lots of green screen -- SDX900.

There is some video that provided by partners, and I don't know what
that was shot with.

N-joy,
whatever

The footage looks pretty good in the doc video, too bad it's so highly compressed. I did notice that most of the interviews were a lot better looking than the b-roll. Was most of the existing lighting florescent? What lighting set up did you use for the interviews?

The SDX stuff was cool too. 'The one' video was well done, there were a couple parts in there that could have been better though. Like if you made the parody actually funny, or if you made the 'drop' part into the red room longer. More matrix like then just a quick form, but cool stuff anyway.

Any chance of seeing uncompressed stuff?

Compression is an evil that you have to deal with when delivering to the web.

Most of the 'Green Curtain' was run and gun. The meetings were real, and time was limited. The firewire cable to the FS100 only popped out once. The interviews had a little more time. The lighting was a standard 3 point kit (plus back wall). I did burn a FS100 though, and lost about 20 minutes of footage. Focus was good about replacing it quick, though. Overall, I'm loving the HVX!

'The One' video was done from script to completion in one month. Yeah, it could have been funnier, and we could have had some more time for the effects. Still, I'm pretty pleased with the look of the footage. You never finish a project, it just comes time to ship it.

Whatever
