Looks bl**dy great Ted!
Colours and details come across really well. Is it possible you can tell us if you used a scene file and what format (30p, 60p etc?) you shot it in?

Also...I'm struggling to understand what the GG (ground glass I assume) is for? I don't suppose you could explain that to me - is it an effect rather than a technical necessity (similar to the spinning wine glass, which I've tried but ultimately it just looked like a spinning wine glass!)?
You mentioned this is DIY and on the Vimeo site it's the 35mm adaptor which is DIY...if you can get the footage looking so good with a DIY 35mm (and therefore cost effective) I'm all ears!

Cheers.

David,

I slightly modified Paulo Ciccone's true color version 3 scene file.

I had black stretch 1 and detail to normal.

Slow motion sequences were 480 60P uprezzed to 720 24P on the Edius timeline. All other shots are 720 24P.

Yes the adapter is DIY, and the ground glass is frosted plastic, its discussed at alternative imaging thread.

Heres the link to that thread:

The curved dolly moves were done with my DIY plywood mini skater. plans of which i posted here.

Hmmm, thinking I need to come for a visit...

Well done Ted! Focus was a bit soft on one of the beach shots with people running in water. Was that intentional or one of the byproducts of using low DOF primes?

Ted Ramasola · June 25th, 2008, 01:39 PM

shaun,

thanks, your right, that was at the long end of the 80-200 which at f2.8 was really difficult to track focus since the distance was far and the 80-200, with just a small nudge is already a big difference in focus point and i didnt have a follow focus. the focus was going in and out but i decided to use the footage anyway. i guess its one of the challenges with using shallow dof still lenses for video.

'Welcome to Hawaii' - It's 'Meet the Parents' Hawaiian style.

A fun film we made over a few weekends. We know all the problems in many of the images. Hopefully the story gets you past it. We learned a lot. Enjoy.

Something I just finished using JVC HD100 and HD200. This is a promotional video of my Island, a third in a series of 4 islands.
Most shots with a DIY 35mm adapter, some with the stock 16x. 5-7 shots with DVX100 uprezzed. I pushed my luck and shot a cave with an adapter with inadequate lights. -sigh..

I was shooting the rappel scene with the cam on my shoulder while myself hanged by a harness at 184 feet of a rock wall.

Some closeup shots of Caterpillars and Butterflies were shot with Zoerk adapter and an 80-200mm nikon. Wide shots with sigma 15-30mm and 20-40mm.

Thanks for posting and sharing you work. Something to consider when you shoot again is the attention to detail. In this case, your subject's glasses reflect what looks like a TV or a window then entire time. Also, you might consider lighting you subjects face.

Stephen,

Thank you for your comments. It was your help in the start that got me to buy the JVC hd100. Never regretted the choice which made me later get the hd200.

The uderwater POV are the only shots I didn't do. All the rest were mine. Including -gasp! the voice over. hehe.

3D animation titles I do in MAX while map animations are done in after effects.

Edius is still my NLE of choice, especially that HQ now does alpha channels.

Thanks for watching Steven! The reflected image in her glasses is in fact my softbox. I struggled a bit with the placement of the light to get some shadow effect on her left side. This you tube clip does not reflect actually how good the segment really looks (on TV). I was pressed for time and I started shooting when she was "ready". She was nervous so I caught what I could when I could. Could you recommend any good reference dvd's about lighting? Thanks again for your comments.
