My brother and I just shot a little short with the xh-a1 and we had to match some of the footage with some older dv stuff (vx-2000). The matching wasn't bad for youtube quality. The canon stuff was at 24f.

Heres the video.

(the myspace one actually looks better)

NICE!!!

You should upload a full res version so we can see the camera's capabilities!

I was moved to tears, and I am forever changed. Thank you.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Estebe, I'll get around to uploading a higher res version - it's much easier to see the difference between the DV and HDV obviously. Kevin, Lulu has that effect on people hehe ...

That is some creative stuff! I liked it a lot and the voice over was perfect. I especially liked the fan part(went well with the music).

lol, I have a dog named Lulu as well. She is stupid, hence the name. I rather have the dog in your video.

The Voice Over is AWESOME!!!


A+++++

Daniel - I'm TOTALLY in love!

This is exactly why I am in this business. Not for the adaptors. Not for the HD. Not for the . . . but to tell stories. Simple stories that move, excite, create humour and generally add something to our all too short human passing.

Daniel - THANK you. Thank you very much. And a big paw of friendship to Mistress Lulu! - I'm totally besotted.

Well done -- thanks for sharing this. Totally made my day.

Daniel, excellent piece!

I especially liked the creativity of the dream sequence. Lulu is an awesome actress.

God that was hilarious...well done.

inspiration ! very touching and very well thought story line.

You teaches me regardless what camera you use, it is the man makes the story show.

thank you for sharing~

Brilliant! I loved it.

Sweet. Very original. I loved all the tennis balls in the pool.

The tennis balls scene was brilliant!

On a related note (although not shot on the A1), you guys should check out this film from Pleix.

Thanks for all the great replies, everyone. Lulu deserves all the credit! The tennis ball pool scene was a lot of fun to shoot, she didn't know what to do because she couldn't choose just one, so she just kept swimming around, moving from ball to ball.

Benji - that pleix film was amazing! I'd love to see a full-res version. Beautifully shot.

Daniel, what is the name of the song you used? I've heard it a few times but...

It's Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro sung by Montserrat Caballé.

Brilliant! Colors look very lovely. Very very nice job.

Want's the difference between Scarlett Johansson and Lulu?
Answer: Lulu can act. Lulu is captivating, engaging, a natural. Keep up the good work Lulu!

HAHA. I'm going to use that one. Lulu does have an amazing attention span.

Peter: we used Final Cut Pro

Thanks for the comments guys.

Lulu has a future in this business! Terrific!

I laughed. Out loud. Well done.

I find it funny and sad that I enjoyed this story more than some films I have seen and actually watched it all. Maybe theres some beauty that comes from simplicity.
