Mentos Spoof shot with DVX100A

Hey everyone! Longtime reader, first time poster. ;) (Well, with content, anyway).

I finally got a DVX about a month ago (I've been saving up for about three years now!), and I've had a lot of fun doing little things with it. This is a mentos commercial spoof I did for a class at school, which had a few restrictions on it but I thought still turned out pretty good overall so I thought I'd share it with my fellow DVX users. :) It was shot using scene file F6, but pretty much everything else was the default camera settings (I don't know about "pedestal" and that stuff yet.) :( But, um... it's 24pA, full-frame (I didn't think a mentos commercial would be widescreen), and no adapters or filters or anything. I'm not sure what other technical stuff to say about it, but I always really appreciate when people post those things so if there are any questions I will be happy to answer them! I made a WMV file and a QT file so both PC and Mac users could access it.

I hope you like it!

Needs some adjusting but over all very funny and fits the spirit of the real commercials.

by the way, pedestal is black level...so if you have a high pedestal, your image might look hazy, but your blacks will have more detail...then you can just color correct as you desire.

It looked pretty clean. It would of been more hilarious if the dude flew in the air real high, an exageration. Anyways its nice. keep it up!
 
Re: Mentos Spoof shot with DVX100A

HAH! That was hilarious. A few of the shots were too long (in consistency with the real commercials.) But that was definitely great. Nice job.

Fantasic! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Lovely little rack focus near the beginning as well.

Is there any way I can d/l this to keep in my little 'Reasons the DVX is great' folder? If I right-click and 'save as...' it comes up with the webpasge but not the movie...

open up your temporary internet folder and find it in there. Right Click, copy and paste into any folder.

Haha !!! :D

Very nice. I wish I could think of a tiny project to make that involved only one or two people.

Keep up the good work !
