Canon HV series -- various sample clips

Anil Dasari · June 27th, 2007, 11:40 AM

Here's 2 minutes of edited video from footage I captured at the recent Livermore rodeo.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ML12DXMG

File Size: 277MB.

It was compressed for uploading. Not the best quality but good enough to watch.

It's captured as 24P Cinemode, and rendered as 60i. If you use VLC Player to watch it, go to 'Video/Deinterlace' and select 'Blend' to avoid the combing effect.

WARNING: Rapid action involved. I'm not responsible for any motion sickness it might cause :-)

This 16 minute edited video is from our San Francisco zoo visit yesterday, shot with our Canon HV20 camcorder. You can view the video online here: http://one.revver.com/watch/320828/flv/affiliate/98923 Or, you can download with “save as” a 320x180 MP4 version here: http://www.gnomefiles.org/files/zoo-qvga.mp4 (there won’t be a YouTube version available because they force a limit of 10 minutes per video). This 45 MB version of the video should work fine on most MP4-capable QVGA cellphones, iPod Videos and iPhones too (not on the Sony PSP though). DVD quality version available on request. The pictures here http://eugenia.blogsome.com/2007/07/02/the-zoo/ are stills from the video itself.

We shot it by utilizing exposure locking, f2.8 to f6.0 depending on the situation and by using an arrangement of filters (but mostly a polarizer). Only one of our clips got over-exposed as we had to shoot with the sun in front of us, there was no way around it. We used the default shutter speed and frame-rate (1080/60i). Music used is from the album “B.O Imaginaire” by Snapo (licensed under the Creative Commons by-nc-nd 2.0/fr license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/fr/ ).

Some HV20 test shooting in a small forest near my apartment. Ungraded but downconverted to 720p.

Just a short clip. Using 24p
.mpeg is an Mpeg2
.mov is an H264

So there you go.

Here is a small clip I took the other day. This is just right out of the box, no changes to camera. I was pretty happy with the results, I just have to learn how to make it look cleaner.

Looks nice and clean, but moody as well! I like the music, too (good vocals!)- kind of Beatles-esque, but then again it sounds different, a bit strange but in a good way. Your band name rang a bell immediately - taken from Bobby De Niro's character in the movie "Angel Heart" (Louis Cyphre = Lucifer), right? ;)

Eugenia Loli-Queru · July 4th, 2007, 01:15 PM

Just an update, I managed to finally upload a DVD quality of the video at 852x480: http://hv20.info/yopu/Zoo1.mp4

Clayton Moore · July 4th, 2007, 07:25 PM

I had to remove those movies for a time ... my data download is limited on this .mac account. I will however be putting up another site shortly and will hope to have more clips linked there.

So, I had a shoot recently and I only had access to a few HV10s along with our audio setup, which was being captured separately. So, we put these tiny cameras to the test and we were quite surprised.

See the result:

Now, I realize that the interviewer is out of focus, but that's what happens when you work with in-experienced camera-ops.

Saul Moreno · July 6th, 2007, 11:18 PM

I am always still amazed at the quality of video these things are putting out.

What Mic system was used for the interview? I did see Alicia Keys holding a Rode.
Looking good in hollywood though.

Aanarav Sareen · July 7th, 2007, 12:33 AM

Yes, thats the Rode boom mic. We did have an audio mixer running 2 mics and then outputting to a flash based recorder. I don't have the audio specifics, but I think one of the reason she had the microphone was because our secondary wireless system failed at the last moment, but the Rode did a good job.

I'm glad you liked it... And you're right about Lucifer there.... Anyhow, I've heard some people with windows complaining that they can't download the file. So I uploaded it on megaupload too.... Link
Then I noticed that I'd left an "ö" in the file name, which could be the issue.. But it seems to work on megaupload so....
