I hope it happens Charles.... The jvc material was done really really good, and it showed how the camera performed in a professional shoot.

Sorry Charles, I didn't know who was the main man on that shoot. Regardless, it was top notch work that was achieved. Glad you and company still took the time to do so. If you get to shoot with the HVX200 as well the H1, let me know. I would love to be an observer or extra hand on the shoot if your in the LA area.

Charles,
how do you see using the hvx when it comes out..would you shoot for money with it? if so what type of work do you feel it would work well for...I use the dvx and the reel-stream.com beta unit all the time for 30sec lowbudget work. it works, I love more camera/resolution but I can get buy with the dvx and a 35mm lens system... -Obin dv3productions.com |

Obin:
I think the HVX will be an excellent choice for green screen work which I have been doing a fair amount of lately via Instant Films (we are getting into online/mobile content of a commercial nature). Obviously the 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 possibilities are a big benefit here, but also the extended depth of field issues of 1/3" are not a concern when shooting elements for compositing. Of course all remains to be seen once the camera itself appears, but I think it's an exciting step forward and certainly I'm intrigued at the possibilities and looking forward to shooting with the Mini35 onboard as well. The reel-stream product always interested me, but I surmised that by the time it became a mature product there would be a commercially-released alternative that would take it a step further without the growing pains aspect. There are so many pressures involved in production that I like to be able to work with gear that can be easily and quickly replaced if something goes down (one of the luxuries of working in LA, certainly), so it's tough for me to rely on the more exotic bits of gear.

good stuff!
I have been trying to find a way into some outlets for high quality and high production value short ipod/cellphone/internet content, have you any luck with that type of stuff? we submitted to Jamster in Germany, sent them some funny stupid animation stuff, they "LOVED IT" and then our contact left the CO. and we could never make good in-roads again...LOL |

The dvx + 35 adapter is enough for now..I wish I had more resolution and color space.
thanks for the feedback on the NAA spot, we worked hard on that one |

Shooting 24/30fps. 16) Filmmaker to join Faculty... ( the other two circled ads are unreadable) Analysis of the uses suggested for the HVX by Panasonic in the ad: Strictly cine-style applications: #'s 1, 2, 6, 16 (4 total) Both cine-style and ENG-style applications: #'s 5, 8, 10, 13, 14 (5 total) Strictly ENG-style applications: #'s 3, 4, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14 (7 total) Projects to be shown as "films": #'s 1, 6, 16 (3 total) -------------------------- Summary The HVX is positioned as an all-around, versatile camera that may be a freelancers dream camera, especially when the cost of P2 comes down. It straddles the cine-style and ENG-style production worlds. It emphasizes the media convergence need for shooters to be versatile enough to shoot either style of production, and to have the accessories to outfit the HVX for either style of shooting. Very shortly the HVX will be delivered and tested. If the HVX performs as advertised, seasoned professional users, both cine-style and ENG-style, will devise many, many more ways to integrate the HVX in production uses that aren't even on the list above... --------------------------

For ENG-style Varicam productions, the HVX may be great as a "B" camera, especially for those difficult, mobile shots. Beyond that, for certain genres of Varicam cine-style productions, it is feasible that HVX's can be used. If shallow DOF is not an issue for a production, and hard to get, mobile, or hand-held shots are the core of the production, the HVX could be a real useful tool. Rental or purchase of smaller jibs, dollies, and stabilization units could hold down production costs. Most of my company's production is ENG-style of various genres. We do cine-style production when a program needs those production values. Of that list of suggested uses from the Panasonic ad, we will be using the HVX in all of the ENG-style uses they list, and many of the cine-style uses. We'll accessorize the HVX for ENG-style and cine-style production and test it out thoroughly. Like you, we'll be keenly interested in seeing how the HVX performs, and how it compares with the footage from the other cameras we use, including the Varicam. Its unrealistic to expect a fixed lens 1/3 CCD camera to be the exact equal of an interchangeable lens 2/3 CCD camera. It is reasonable to expect a well-engineered 1/3 CCD camera to be able to produce pro-level footage in the hands of a pro-level shooter, whether it be ENG-style or cine-style. Remember, the HVX also shoots many resolutions that the Varicam does not: 1080/60i, 1080/24p, and 1080/30p. Those additional resolutions open up some interesting ENG-style (1080i) and cine-style (1080p) uses for the HVX.
