I would like to know your camera file settings if you remember them. I've made my guesses and I'm very curious. I'm a video newbie too. Though I have worked with celluloid before so I'm an in camera snob ;D . Being able to previsualize something and then getting it correctly (if possible) the first time is sweet science. This is only 50 percent though. The other half would originate from spontenaity in myoppion.[/quote]


I wish I was an architect ! ;)

The camera setting that I used were almost the Default Settings.

I used the Scene Files setting of F5
I then changed my Master Ped to -3 and changed the Detail Level to +1.

Otherwise the camera is still in it default setting.

I did use the white balance button (on the very front of the camera) to help correct the color in some of the shots, but a few of them, I just used the default 3200k White Balance preset. I found that if i was only shooting BLUE and Green subjects that the preset really gave me the vibrant colors that I was looking for. Although you have to be careful with them bleeding. And the results are not that great without proper lighting. A sunny day can realllllllllly make a great difference in the quality of the colors that I was getting.

BElieve it or not I had watched this earlier and never responded (work, family, life sometimes distracts me from my DVX responsibilty). This is a nice little piece of work. The musical choice is perfect and conjures up images of some kind of gothic horror waiting to happen. (Or is it just me?).

My favorite shot is of the fence. Wonderful colors and that frame alone seems as it can tell a whole story by itself. This was very nice considering you had the DVX for 3 days.

I am seeing alot of 'visual' storytelling lately of different countries, peoples homes, nature and I like it. All of them have different comp styles, interesting musical choices and I always feel like I take a little trip after viewing one; whether its Rich Lee's Carnival, Jasons italia or something like this.

Thanks for sharing!

Yay !

Now I can finally go to sleep. JH's approval is the whole reason that I bought my dvx !!! ;D

Seriously though, thanks for the kind critique !

I was gonna change my "Signature" file to something like "LOOK AT MY SNAPS JOHN !!!!" But now I don't have too.
