looked good, colors were very nice, and was that liberty?

 

[Mark Williams]

The colors really don't look right. Did you set the cam to over saturate?

 

[Everts]

The colors suits the video.

 

[Cori_Kipps]

The colors suits the video.

I agree, exactly what i said when Mark said he didnt like them

 

[nfc565]

thanks guys! that was the look i was going for, a bit over saturated, bright colors on the rider, it was the best i could do with the overcast conditions, yes that was liberty...i went up on monday.

What fisheye is that which has vig on the right side? Is there a filter and fisheye lens?

 

[nfc565]

its the 16x9 inc super fisheye. no filter, just the fisheye.

 

[I'm Ron Burgundy?]

its the 16x9 inc super fisheye. no filter, just the fisheye.

Can you zoom slightly past the vig?

 

[nfc565]

of course i can but that would decrease the wideness, its not much, but it doesnt really bother me sooo....

I think the footage looks nice, but honestly, I'm just a bit tired of the fisheye for riding/extreme sport stuff. It just makes it look like all the other snowboard footage out there. I'd love to see more extreme close-up/detail shots rather than the cliché super-wide fisheye stuff.

 

[nfc565]

yea, i completely agree. the only reason i had the fisheye on my camera for 98% of the shots, was for the sheer fact that my bag was locked up in a locker at the bottom of the mountain, and i didnt have any lens caps for the lens. i was not about to put a bare lens in my pocket or on the side of the mountain...i am deffinately going to get more versatile with my shots, i brought my dolly and steadicam with me, but never got around to using them

 

[Stephen Mick]

Good to hear. I've got the fisheye for my HPX-170, and I'm always tempted to play around with it. But the times it really works are when you don't really expect to see it. So post more stuff. The footage looks nice to me. I like the desat.

 

[nfc565]

thats awesome man, i feel like, if i have the fisheye, i might as well get some use out of it, so thats why i didnt really mind it too much. its always fun to mess around with it. im deffinately going to post more stuff, there is a competition this saturday at the mountain, maybe ill film that. but thanks for the kind words.

I know this is quite noobie but what did you get the screen captures with, and how?

 

[matt s.]

haha Liberty. Worked there for 12 years. Footage looks pretty cool though color wise :beer:

 

[nfc565]

hahah nice! liberty is by far the best resort for park riding. @fox: i just use MPC and its like alt v or something to get screen grabs, or you can just go into after effects and save frame as.
