I used the settings right out of the box 24PF, I did the 2:35:1 in FCP. I look forward to getting a DOF adapter for this camera.

Thanks

What's the pixel count for hdv 2.35:1

1440 x (what)

I can't seem to get it right in Sony Vegas.

that looks really good wes! im assuming this was just using the regular lens at 1.8?

This is a trailer to a short video I shot for my daughters first Ironman competition. It's the first thing I've shot with the HV20. I usually use it as a deck for my A1. The cam was mostly manual at 60i. Some grain in the early morning hours and the night shot is visible but what a great little camera to take anywhere and get great shots. Here is the link http://www.vimeo.com/638708

Oh, that kind of Iron Man.. I was looking for the guy in the metallic red and yellow suit :)

Looks good. Some really nice shots in there!

Macro footage shot with the HV20 and a Canon 50mm 1:1.8 macro lens, turned into an abstract project.

Subject 1: hair from a stuffed animal
2: towel

Flower macro shots using close-up lenses (Tiffen CU4+) on the HV20, slow motion and extreme color grading. Download the 720p MP4 file or view the HD version online here: http://www.vimeo.com/678941

Two videos I shot yesterday. The first one is details from the Golden Gate Bridge: http://www.vimeo.com/699120

The second one is flowers and abstract vegetations with lots of background blur, around the 'Palace of Fine Arts' in San Francisco: http://www.vimeo.com/699156 My husband poses in the opening shot of the video.

I am not particularly proud for any of the two videos, but I thought I use that HV20 footage anyway.

Music video I just completed for 2.L.O.C.O In Crime. Shot on the HV20 with an SG Pro(r1) 35mm adapter, and a 4x close up filter between the two to enable me to zoom in far enough. A polarizing filter was used also. All locations were around the west of Sydney (Blacktown etc). Edited in Vegas 7 using the standard colour corrector.

http://www.vimeo.com/709072

A bunch of frame grabs from the clip can be found on my flickr page here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/avene/s...7603945057130/

There were a few issues with the SG Pro, such as dust, forgetting too turn it on for one shot, etc.

Great work. Love seeing great results from the HV20. Assuming Cinemode was used? Recorded to tape?

The shots under the shade when he is sitting front of a shed werent as punchy as the rest of the clip wondering if that was just the cam or you chose to leave it a bit flater?

How much did you managed to get the sgpro for. I am looking at getting one but not sure about how much extra I'll end up paying with taxes etc..?

Hi Peter, thanks for having a look. Actually, I think the colour correction on that shot was slightly different. I hadn't really noticed too much difference. And yes, all cinemode and recorded to tape.

I bought the SG Pro in 2006. It worked out around $1200 all up. Can't remember what the UK price was then and not sure what it would be with the current price. I'd be tempted to go for the Letus Mini if I was in the market for a 35mm adapter now though. With only half a stop of light loss, flip as standard, and no need for a close up filter. Although the look you get from the current SG Pro Rev3 still appears more film like from different tests I've seen.

Something I threw together, all shot with HV20, no adapters. Been messing with low frame rate, low exposure.

In one case I forgot to put tape in the camera. My hands were freezing so it turned into stop motion. Hope it doesn't give anyone violent motion sickness.

my first movie shot with canon hv20.

hope you like :)

this is a very short clip that is not helped by my compressing and further compressing from youtube, not to mention it was at the end of the dive and i had to quickly turn the camera back on and get in place with only 2 out of 4 lights on in heavy surge.........okay okay, enough excuses.

video looks a bit better by viewing at original size (left button on the bottom right of the video screen)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_svRx_FpwG8

try not to criticize it too much! ill get some better underwater footage up when i have a chance to sift through it all.

FYI: the type of fish in the video is called a tang (hence the text at the end)

i really liked that. has a great music video feel too it. i especially liked the in car shots. great work!

btw: what song is that?

I swear I read this in the threads before, but I can't find it now. I'm experimenting with the Blackmagic Intensity Pro card and am live capturing from the HV20. How the heck do I remove ALL icons from the display? Obvioulsy this is a problem b/c the Intensity captures a live stream from the HDMI out and it records any and everything on the screen. Obvioulsy I've pressed the "display" button, but I can't get rid of the flashing tape missing warning, or if a tape is in, the record of pause warning.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Menu, Display Setup, TV Screen set to off, will give a clear out put.

Thank you. Darn, I just noticed I posted this in the wrong section. Chris, feel free to move as this contains no footage.

hi Mike.. Really nice, this one. A big improvement over the previous one. You've really nailed the contrast and colours nicely here too. Definitely worth the download!

Great looking movie. Loved your framing and the overall feel. Although I did see a few moving cars. You could possibly rotoscope those out I guess?

And any chance of posting a higher quality version? YouTube doesn't do it justice.

very cool!! you need to post that sucker on vimeo.com!! in HD

very cool!! you need to post that sucker on vimeo.com!! in HD

Absolutely! ! !

Hello,

I am proud owner of JVC GZHD7, and I have posted so many videos captured by me in various forums! I am sure many of you guys already seen my videos!

Now I have had Canon HV20 with me, and I was very much exited to have my hands on it! And I have had chance to compare both!

I shoot one wedding party with Canon HV20, I surprise how this cheaply made small camera can produce stunning video! Here is 10 minuts clip follow below link:

http://www.vimeo.com/771305

And here is my old clip which I posted on vimeo, but it was having speed problem so I fix it, if some one is interested follow below link:

Can you please post a 25p raw (.m2t) sample from the European model of hv20? I can't find such a link online.

Hey guys. Sometime I visited Rome and I took my Hv20 with me. Here are some grabs:

Here's some grabs I exported from the footage I shot with the HV20

I had the idea of creating an entire music track and video in one just using the audio from random video footage I had on my hard drive. It kind of worked.. The melody at the start (if you could call it that and if you can ever hear it) is just camera noise from the HV20 with the pitch of each individual edit adjusted in Vegas. Then I found a few clicks and pops in the video which I used for the kick/snare/hat kind of beat.. some fireworks explosions too...

Anyway, it was worth a try. Could probably come up with something better if I spent more time on it. But still, always fun working on the music and video simultaneously in the one program..

Howdy folks.

I know this isn't High Def footage being on YouTube and all, but it does demo the HV20s autofocus ability.

is this instant AF or reg AF. i had to turn off instant because of my lens hood. wish theyd move that sensor...


vimeos even a better place to post. i think we're all in love with it. down with youtube!

LOL dude. That hurt m eyes. I believe it was instant auto focus, but I'll fire up the camera later and verify. I haven't changed it since I shot the footage.

I also post my videos on http://virb.com/dewde. Virb has better resolution than YouTube but probably not as good as Vimeo. Microsoft has a new technology called Silverlight that supposedly competes with Flash in several areas... one of them being high def video streaming. I've seen some impressive demos but to date I havent seen any companies build a video sharing site on the technology platform.

In any event, video sharing is here to stay. And that's good for you and me!

I took the Vimeo plunge. Here are 3 different hosted versions of the same file.

Cool thing about Vimeo is you can download the original?. Nice.

Cool thing about Virb is that it renders text better. Pay attention especially during the "white text on pink" scenes in between video.

It's like that human beat box video on youtube... but much less annoying :p

This is a short and simple movie shot with an HV20 from an airplane window. Edited with FCP and CC with Color.

Here's some shots from the Purim Festival on 21 Mar 2008 in Haifa. The colours from this little cam still amaze me, but I just wish it I had been able to get a ND filter before I came here.

Nice work, Richard. As an new HV30 user, can I ask you what settings - mode, image effect etc - you used for this?
Practising in bright sunshine today on the HV30, I was missing the built in ND filter on my XH-A1, and sunshine here in March ain't nuffin' compared to Haifa.

Hi Colin, thanks. Yes I've got an XH-A1 as well, but it was a bit bulky to bring along this trip.

For these HV30 shots, I used 25P, Tv mode and tried to use 1/50s shutter. However it was a very bright day and since I do not have any ND filter, for a lot of the shots I had to set the shutter to 1/250s. I also think that Tv mode tends to overexpose most of the time, so I usually hit the exposure lock and drop the exposure by 2 or 3, until only the brightest parts are showing 100% zebra. Sounds troublesome, but it's quite fast once you get used to it.

Richard

Thanks for that info Richard.
It's great that the HV30 has the zebra function but I wish it had something in between 70 and 100%. Maybe you have shown me a way round that.

Hi Colin. Sorry I gave wrong info about the camera mode. This footage is actually 50i, because there was a lot of other stuff going on at that festival and I am planning to apply slomo to some of it. The rest of what I said is correct though.

Richard

This is from another shooting for the doc I am doing. I took some B-Rolls with HV20 but they look even better sometimes than what operator took with Z1.

Here's some footage. I'm still struggling with compression to be able to upload 720p on vimeo.com. Everything looks way too dark and lacking detail...I really wish there was a way to upload a full quality 1080. This way you would really be able to see how amazing it looks.

Here's the link: http://www.vimeo.com/839879

I wish I could have spent more time in Rome and I also wish I had a tripod with me.

Some city shots in Haifa, without any colour correction so you can appreciate the image out of this great little camera.

I'm not too sure if I posted this here:

http://blip.tv/file/478007

here's a music video I just finished up. I used an A1 for the live action stuff, and an hv20 and iohd for all the green screen comp stuff. (I'd have used the hv20 for everything, but it couldn't get as wide as I'd have liked for the interior stuff)

I edited in FCP and did all the compositing/FX using Motion.

It's in 720p on Vimeo.

http://www.vimeo.com/1006430

Wow...EXCELLENT work on the effects!!!

Just morbidly curious...how many post production hours do you have into this?
