post your best results with the D90

D90 Steadicam footage

D90 Steadicam footage

I decided after some testing, I could shoot something creative with the D90 and make it reasonable quality. I needed to test it was going to work ok for non-handheld moving shots, wasn't going to do the whole thing tripod/dolly, not going for a handheld look. Really concerned about jello and skew, but I think it's manageable.

So here is a test scene quickly diced together, tiny post, minimalist cc so far, I'd love some feedback. Music chucked in, will be different in real one.

This is a flashback scene to a story about a girl working 3 parttime jobs (local issue, many employers don't offer fulltime in Hawaii so they can avoid paying benefits), who gets into an accident, and cannot cover her medical. So with few other options she resorts to walking the streets. She gets into an interesting situation with a madame etc, and won't spoil it.

But this tester is more about d90 skew/jello/ moving shot capability than the story so far :)

just seeing if locking the d90 down helps - and it does!
definite jaggies though - the biggest problem with this cam

i used a crappy manfrotto 136 head with no handle and a homemade slider...

Yes D90 footage just FEELS GOOD... dammit. It seriously reminds me of the 'film feel'... just feels more organic and almost analog... impossibly so.
 
it's got the feel of a lomo. there's that low tech warmth about the d90. it's like it's got its own charisma. like a little mutt puppy.
 
Well technically this isn't my best result, but it's my favourite for the run and gun and fun.

This is the first night using the camera, real world application and just shooting for FUN. Natural light, and "point and shoot" moments. Hey, with a more considered approach beautiful stuff can come out of it. You guys are AWESOME. I'll post more aesthetically pleasing stuff later!
 
Bandanadan,
Thanks for posting that clip. Very impressive low light performance from the D90. Great colors, and low noise. I love the look of this camera, inspite of some skew here and there.

That was pretty cool. It's great to see real life captured with such a pleasing image.
 
for some reason the downloaded file plays really choppy.
it almost feels "unreal" it's so real. like "cloverfield 2" - except instead of a big monster, they are attacked by mass amounts of alcohol. :)
seems as if the jello got a bit more noticeable as the evening went on (less steady hands, maybe?)
