Hallo again to all! I really like to share my works here! Critics are the best way to improve your work! This is a really low budget video shot with the 301,AVCIntra100,1080p & 25fps. We have no time, i have shot everything in one day and the band played the song 10 times! Right first time! We have no light and the weather was really crazy! Sun,clouds,sun and clouds...even during a shot. I have shot at 1/1000 so the ghosting is near the corner, but i like this shutter speed.The entire work has cost 800€.An experiment and a fun work!I've edited in Premiere,tracked in Mocha and i've made the post in AfterEffects. I have used a lot of filters to recreate a sort of sepia bleach bypass for the outdoor footage and the AVCIntra still remains clean. By the way this is a 720 conversion of the original file (300mb approximately).

Hope you like it!

well done... I've seen stuff with a couple 00's on the end of your price that don't look anywhere near as good...

Thank you Lez! In Italy the standard for videoclip is the 5D. I've got one with some lens and all the toys (follow focus,matte box etc.) but when i use the 301 i feel completely free! You can do almost everything with this camera having a real professional look!

Bests,

Thank you Admir! I usually use After Effects and three effects basically: levels,curves and tint. There is a great plugin from RedGiant software called Mojo (sounds familiar!) that gives you the opportunity to have a skin scope that understand skintones. So you basically can do a secondary color correction based on the skin. Or to do this you can use the color finesse suite that cames with AE CS5. Combining the clips with solids ( or color matte if you are in Premiere ) using blending modes can give you a tinted look more cinelike. The crop makes it a little easier! But the 301 does all the dirt job for you!!!! The cinelike matrix is very cool!!!

Bests,

Nice Job Man! Looks Great! The high Shutter totally works with the look.
Got the song outta your head yet?
 
Love the look Roberto

Love the look Roberto

Great job Roberto, did you over expose in the camera or is that part of the grading process.

Thank you for the comment! Yes it's the post process. I have tried to get a bleach bypass on the final edit to mask out the weather changing during the shot. I'll never do another video without lights! In a sunny day it can be good but with a strange weather like the one we had during the shot is impossible to have a good exposure all the time. If you have time you can do two or three takes and mix them when edit, but i think that the 301 is fantastic when you have light control in the scene.
Thank you again for your time and for the comment!
Bests,
Roberto
