Is there any way to smooth the blur on the RC cars? Raise the shutter speed would help I would imagine. I have in mind to get a DVX and am shooting motorcycle races. I know shooting 60i would be ideal, but 24p is the reason im buying this camera! Any suggestions for a dumb noobie?
That's correct. I shot this in 24p so it will appear more blurred. You can raise the shutterspeed for less blurring effect in 24p as long as you have enough light to compensate for a proper exposure when increasing the shutterspeed (I think?)
60i will yield the best results for the least motion blurring.
That's a great promo. Worlds above what you would normally find for a local shop. You did a nice mix of shots and editing. The beginning DOF shot is smooth and the colors are great. The equipment setup and then the racing shots give a real feel for the event.
I showed it to them and although they think it is cool, they want to add more to it. They said it is too short.... The thing is, all the footage is basically the same (it's just cars racing around a small track) and if I add much more, it will be repetitious and just lack the overall 'impact' i guess. I don't know. They want a full 40 minute video now for the same price. $300 CDN. I shot it for one day, edited for 1 or 2 weeks and for $300 CDN. Now they want an extra 40 minutes free...it's sort of for a friend's friend, but man...I feel unappreciated and taken for granted...

Give em what they paid for. 40 minutes bleeding RAW. ;D
You know, I really I really wish I knew how do to all that crazy flash/aftereffects stuff like Jason Kosovo and the like. That stuff just rocks and adds so much to the plain editing of raw images and music.
