Footage from South Italy
Hi,
recently I have been to Puglia and Basilicata to shoot a video for Doctors without Borders about their activity in support of the immigrants, who live and work in very bad conditions in South Italy. I shot 8 hours of footage but have to wait before the editing... so I put 2 minutes "raw", just a minor editing, on my website... Don't know why, but the colors were richer in Final Cut Pro canvas window. Maybe some trouble with gamma correction? Don't know... The link is http://www.alexnucci.it/Anteprima%20MSF.html Beautiful landscapes, it seemed a piece of Africa in South Italy, it was a surprise even for me. Alex |

This is really gorgeous footage, great work. Can you post some details about camera settings - presets, filters, etc., any noise reduction?

Second, did you compensate for the redshift by adding gain for green and blue, or negative gain for red or other? Thanks, Erik |

Che bello metraggio, Alex. Sono affascinato che hai messo il XH-A1 a Sharpness= -9. Devo provarlo me stesso.
Anche sono andato al tuo website e ho visto Anime in Viaggio. Molto interresante, anche se non potevo capire tutto che le varie persone dicevono. E' strano che potevo capire meglio gli stranieri che gl'Italiani nativi. Sono passati piu di 25 anni da quando io abitai in Italia, e soltanto per due anni. Ma mia moglie ed io ci andremo di nuovo l'anno prossimo, quindi devo cominciare leggere i giornali italiani online onde migliorare il mio italiano prima che ci troviamo la' senza sappere chiedere dov'e' il bagno. One thing I have decided is an absolute “must” is the custom preset editor that I found somewhere on this site and which I use exclusively to edit my custom presets. The advantage is that you can make ten or so variations of something in a matter of minutes, then quickly copy them to the card and proceed to experiment. It is much more efficient than using the camera preset editing menus. |

These are my color gain settings, I think I took them somewhere here: Color Gain: 10 Color Phase: 0 Red Gain: -8 Green Gain: -5 Blue Gain: -1 and then Blue/Green Matrix (BGM) at -13 Alex Nucci www.alexnucci.it |

At any rate, I'll probably do better to use my native language to express myself in terms of filmmaking. I have very much enjoyed viewing your work, including "Don" and "Anime in Viaggio." The XH-A1 is truly a great tool for doing low-budget filmmaking. I've also just purchased a Steadicam Merlin, which I will use primarily with my GL2 and an HV20 which I plan to purchase soon. The A1 will work on the Merlin, but it will be quite demanding on my arm strength to use it extensively. Steven Dempsey has also convinced me that the purchase of a Letus Extreme will also be an essential component of good filmmaking. Thanks again for your contributions here. When my wife and I come to Rome next year, I'll be sure to look you up. Ciao ... |

"Anime in Viaggio" was filmed using an old Panasonic EZ1, a 10 euro chinese microphone and edited on an old laptop in the available rooms at my University and sometimes even in the stairs... I have a Glidecam 2000 Pro (I used it with my little Panasonic DS15), I tried to mount the XH-A1 on it but the system becomes too heavy and really a wrist killer... I believe the XH-A1 can be used for more then 30 seconds only on a complete steadicam system, with arm and vest. I also appreciate Steven's footage, and his use of the Letus... I was thinking of purchasing an SGPro (and many inexpensive SLR lenses on Ebay...) but now I can't afford it :( Alla prossima ;-) Alex |
