Canon HV series -- various sample clips

Joseph Fagan · January 15th, 2008, 08:10 PM

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

Joseph

What's the pixel count for hdv 2.35:1

1440 x (what)

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

Adam Perry · January 22nd, 2008, 09:56 AM

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!

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.

Glenn Thomas · February 20th, 2008, 02:19 AM

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.

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.

Peter Szilveszter · February 21st, 2008, 10:17 PM

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..?

Glenn Thomas · February 22nd, 2008, 04:11 AM

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.

Brian Watson · February 24th, 2008, 09:33 PM

my first movie shot with canon hv20.

hope you like :)

Justin Branam · February 25th, 2008, 12:17 AM

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)

Justin Branam · February 25th, 2008, 01:24 AM

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?
