Re: Random Footage to test DOF
Wow...thanks for the compliments. The greens were a little bland because I had the chroma down at -3 or something, but I thought it looked good like that (I based my settings on F5 mode then adjusted manually from there if I remember correctly.)
As for the smooth tilt, not everything I shot was that smooth. In fact, some footage did had a noticeable strobing/pulsing look. This isn't impossible to overcome, though. I have a pretty cheap tripod (which I'm hoping to replace in a week or so) and it's too light to work well with the dvx, and the head isn't fluid enough. With a fluid, heavier, tripod and a relatively steady hand, smooth pans and tilts aren't that hard to pull off. I tried a jib out this weekend, and with one of those they seem really quite easy to achieve.
