Canon HV series -- various sample clips

Wes Vasher · August 28th, 2007, 08:21 AM

It's very bright so if you have an ND filter that might help, I forgot mine at home but was able to still get a good shot. I toggled through the various white balance presets to get a look. I set my camera to tape mode and used the photo button so I could utilize the Cine mode preset.

Eugenia,

I thought this looked pretty cool! The footage looked good, the audio sounded good, my only input would be I would have varied the shot alot more on the interviews and I always, always, hide that mic cord. I know that may sound ridculous, but seeing a mic cord dangling from the talent just looks bad to me. Anyway, just my 2 cents worth, all in all, I think you did a great job!!

Eugenia Loli-Queru · August 28th, 2007, 10:59 AM

Thanks Steve!

Yup, I forgot to hide the mic cord in the first two interviews of Tyson and Brian, but I remembered it for Dave's interview the next day... ;-)

...how beautiful the image is on the HV20.

On the flip-out screen, on my monitor, and especially hooked up via HDMI to my plasma.

When I saw the footage on the plasma, I wanted to cry. I had shot it in 24p and almost thought I was looking at film. Only better somehow.

Amazing.

1000 bucks. I never would've believed it.

Marko Blau · September 9th, 2007, 02:20 PM

but do they use two cameras and how can they syncronize them?
Also is there any freeware anaglyphe software for video?

This is where I live, Foster City in California (in the Silicon Valley area). My pans are not very smooth, however some weirdly unsmooth pans are the encoder's fault (the original .m2t didn't have the problem).

Just got an HV20 and thought I'd post the test video I took. Camera was set on shutter priority at 60fps.

I also have an xl2 I'm trying to decide if maybe I should sell the xl2 or if it is worth keeping around. God I'd hate to sell that camera
