SOLD MY HVX and bought 5D

Great work. Get ready to go from a xh-a1 and 5D set-up to just a 5D Mark ll

Lenses for the Mustang piece?

Agreed. This is what it was like with editing software 10 years ago. (Premiere 5, Final Cut Pro, Avid, Discreet Edit, etc.)

Unless Canon adds manual controls and 24p, my money is not on them. I hope they do it since I have all Canon cameras and glass! Panasonic and Nikon seem to have the most to gain from innovating. Panasonic could become a player in the SLR world and Nikon could essentially build a video division.

It's very exciting to have a front row seat for all of this!
 
Absolutely stunning examples of night-time footage and a car that just beams aggression.

Both really well shot and edited. I too am interested to know what lenses were used.

Nice footage, editing, good shooter, nice car but... is it just my computer or this is the way the clip plays back to everyone. Seems kind of choppy at times. I have read a bit about 5D ...but I still don't get it looking at the footage.

Find a place that is choppy and turn off Vimeo HD. If it is smooth there, then the choppiness is from the Vimeo conversion. Vimeo makes HD 24fps and SD 30fps.

My HD was choppy in places because I uploaded it at 30fps and Vimeo yanked out frames.

I am going to convert to 24fps before I upload next time.
 
Great images!
Can you tell me about your sound setup for the car-guys interviews?
This (besides form factor) is my main concern with the DSLR workflow.

Also, how do you market the 5DII?
How do people react, when you show up with a DSLR?
 
Hi everyone

Hi everyone

HVX was ok but the p2 cards drove me crazy, and then I had to set u the brevis, there was no way you could film at night without 500watt lights+ when you shoot throught all that glass in the adapter it deff looses quality. And when i went to the beach just to shoot some test for example, i would have to bring whole bunch of gear case then the breavis set that up heavy duty tripod, now it's my 5 pound photo bag.

5D
Well to start off, the camera a big pain in the butt, no other way to put it, hehehe, however so is film. The lack of manual controls takes more time to set it up, the audio is bad, because of the automatic gain, i connected a regular wireless lav XLR to mini, on the mustang video and it worked fine however when he stopped talking the camera started gaining the audio and then HISSSSSSS ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Well I did not need the silence so I'm ok. lenses 50 1.2 24 1.8 85 1.8
 
What happened to WB in the vegas video? Everything was overly yellow. I know a lot of it was tungsten, but surely WB would have helped?
 
The 5D MK II videos are so much better visually.

They seem to have really allowed you to express yourself orders of magnitude more....

Very Very impressive!
 
what's the beef w/ the skew?.. c'mon.. has anybody heard of.. acting? framing? lol

the skew is only the weak link of the chain.. who cares?
