This Highlight is from a one camera documentary shoot with an enhanced Highlight. It's the first wedding that I shot with the HMC150. It was shot in 1080/30p and edited in Edius.
There ceremony location was dimly lit, but to make matters worse, the B&Gs faces were in dark shadows. You can see how the congregation was nice and bright compared to the B&G. Notice when the couple face each other and how dark their faces are on the camera side and how much brighter their faces are opposite the camera.
I shot the ceremony in a 30 shutter speed because it was so dark. I remember looking down at the LCD screen and then looking up at the couple and noticing how much brighter the LCD was than in real life.
At the reception I used a combination of on camera and off camera lighting.
In post I color corrected the ceremony. I did not brighten the ceremony footage, just color corrected it. All other footage is untreated so you can see the true abilities of the camera unfiltered. I shot everything in Scene File 4. I was told on the DVX User forum that Scene File 4 is good for weddings or other low light conditions.

If you want to see the file in a larger format, a friend of mine has graciously offered some space on his server. You can download an SD version which was converted from the HD timeline.
