Re: The Water's Edge
Since I don’t have a DVX yet, I have been a lurker on this site for several months, however it was your fantastic “Water’s Edge” footage that finally convinced me to get off my duff and sound off.
If there was one thing about your piece that caught my eye was its simplicity. It only goes to prove that one does not needs tons of special effects to convey a message or look professional in presentation. Additionally, the music score was first class and really added to the “ambience” of the setting.

Kudos on the picture. Breathtaking.
What was the music called? Where abouts did you get it? I really liked it.

disjecta, first of all, congrats, REALLY nice short, nice composition, camera moves, and colors of course!
I have a question that may sound a little weird, what was that font you used for the titling ? I love it, it's simple but with a "solid and neat" look... I edit on a PC with Vegas5 and Combustion3, so if this is a Mac font do you know any substitute for PC platform?
BTW, I just ordered a dvx100a I'll receive it on next tuesday (oh man how will I sleep until then
) Explaining to my relatives how good was this camera, I shown your short to them and they all were really amazed!
Keep up good work !!!

Wow, I'm truly flattered by all the great responses to my work. Thanks so much.
Styves, the font I used is Adobe Caslon Pro and I manipulated both the tracking and stretched it vertically to achieve that look. I was looking for something simple and movie like....

Re: The Water's Edge
Truly some breathtaking footage. The kind you show to anyone who doubts the ability of this camera. Add to that, the fact that so much of what you did was with the camera's natural abilities (no anamorphic, simple ND filters)...really some wonderful work.
Also, very nice words for those new to the camera. Amazing how many people think that just opening the box and pushing play will achieve the kind of picture you shot. This is truly a case of practice makes perfect!
Keep up the great work!

Re: The Water's Edge
Premiere automatically applies a frame blend when slowing footage down, I disable that because it gives me a cleaner slomo...Generally if I know something is going to be slowed down in post, I will film it at a shutter speed of either 125 or 250, depending on how fast-moving the subject is.
The osprey landing at the top of the tree is a good example of this...filmed using a shutter speed of 250

Thought I was watching "The Lord of the Ringnecks". You are worthy of the fellowship. I raise my sword in your honour.

Re: The Water's Edge
I must say this was a most pleasant surprise. I admire your technique and ability to capture different situations on camera.
That opening with the music and beautiful crane shots really caught my attention.
Could you explain how you matte the footage in Prem Pro?
What do you mean by the scope aspect? I dislike anamorphic adaptors also (not only for aesthetic and technical reasons, but price) but to me getting a more cine-style aspect ratio is worth the resolution loss of other methods. If you could give a little more info on your personal method of achieving this ratio I'd appreciate it.
Once again, congratulations on the beautiful footage and thanks for sharing!
