I knew I shouldn't have done it but I did anyway. I sent an email to ZGC asking them for their demo DVD of the mini-35 system.

I got it today and I am jealous of the awesome images it is capable of....

Anyone want to donate one to Pine Lake Films? 8)
 
Re: I am feeling sick

After you donate to Pine Lake, anyone want to donate to FTD Films?
 
Re: I am feeling sick

Yeah, for like, 10 episodes, or 6.....and then they are killing it. Major bummer.
 
Re: I am feeling sick

Please bring back the Sopranos. And PLEASE give me money. :P
 
Re: I am feeling sick

i just recieved the mini35 footage, and i peed my pants.
are any of the clips on the dvd from a dvx?
 
Re: I am feeling sick

disjecta,

was the footage overly soft? I know that is often a complaint about mini35 systems. Do they have a res chart demonstration on that DVD?

While we're having things donated anyone want to get me one of the uncompressed HD cams? :D
 
Re: I am feeling sick

The DVD itself was not very high quality so it's hard to tell but the quality of the shots was very good so your eye tends to forgive the other imperfections. Overall, I'd say there was a softening but it seemed appropriate to the filmic look.

Don't think there were any DVX clips on there but I could be mistaken.

By the way, I still haven't received any PMs from people offering to donate to my worthy cause.

What we need to find is some old sucker who has too much money on his hands and is looking for a tax deduction...

Thanks for the info disjecta
 
Re: I am feeling sick

So here's some interesting observations after studying the DVD a little more. All of the shots look very close to 16mm or 35mm but it's when something goes into motion that you suddenly are brought back to video world again. Most of this stuff was shot at 60i and it's that movement that's a dead giveaway along with the usual interlace artifacts. I know the DVX would absolutely excel with this system.

The other thing I noticed was grain, and lots of it. Although, according to their site they have now introduced an oscillating device instead of the spinning version which supposedly reduces the grain further.

You people are sooo mean.

I understand you've probably never got on with my mother-in-law, but that's no way to respond to a picture of her.... ;D
