my budget is about 1k just enough money for my crew to eat dinner for 20days it's a comdey movie..i want to shoot action film but this HDV camera just dosen't work with fast motion..
anybody made movie with HDV format before?

Dear Film maker to be,
first, go 4 it. 20days later you will be sleepless for months.

limit the # of takes -HDV tape is cheap but this is crazy to shoot HDV with more than u need in takes as actor feel upset and u will have long night to go thru the takes.

I think you must check the focus as my HC1 is not very good to show in focus or not except i use the expand focus to check.

image wise, i think HC1 has less function so Fx1 should be easily match with it but not vice versa. a careful adjustment between 2 cameras makes a perfect intercut and save a lot in post to match them.

action movie - may be u set the shutter speed faster may help.

check this site for lorin's how to capture with freeware - DVHS cap and virtualdubmpeg, this will save a lot of time for u to encode uncompress/huffy codec avi out.

however , up to now i still have problem to output it back to HDV as m2t.

last - stock up vitamin C and lots of coffee.

enjoy ur wild dreams

soon as i shoot the film i will post my raw footage... i have 600giga hardrive

but right now i'm looking for 2actors.. most people don't want to cast for free :( i promised soon as my film is complete i'm going to sell it to movie production company. i'm sure i can get at least $5k~$20k

i will be shooting for 1weeks...50 DV tape will be enough for me..
by the way have you seen this a1 clip

Yep the HC1 has an AIS mount which is a bit of a pain as no 'normal' external mics will fit direct.

One solution is to buy a tripod-socket adaptor which will give you a normal cold-shoe mount and then the Rode mic will go straight on.

Not bad, but can I suggest something? A tripod.

The transition from the buildings to the woman was nice, but the shake makes it look kind of cheap. Even a monopod would do the trick.

Jung Kyu · September 16th, 2005, 02:04 PM

I know..this is just sample shot ...i'm not going to use this..my wide conversion lense really works well.

Oh ok...just making sure. Send us the final result. I'd love to see it as I am working on a little project myself.
