v sharp captures, these are!

[Youhong]

impressed by the quality of the video...

[Hobbes00]

Thanks di0nysus and Youhong
I am impressed myself too. The lighting in expo was pretty much decent, with that half the battle of getting a a good shot is done.. The next was to get in a good position (which is pretty hard considering the amt of ppl crowding around... AND trying not dodge the flying 'mud' frm the pool...

Settings of my camera as follows,
24f, HDV mode (16:9)
Focus: Auto (Manual when I want a DOP shot)
White balance: Auto (The presets are either too warm or bluish, and I didnt want to custom)
shutter: 50 or 100
iris: 1.6-2.0
black: middle (from "stretched" "middle" and "crush")
Colour gain: +2
Gama: Cine

Hi Hobbes00,

Wow, which model u r using? Is it a professional model? you have all the manual control that consumer camera don't have.

What software are you using for the screen capture? It is very sharp and clear.

Need to learn from you.

It's a professional video camera and a High Definition HDV one at that. The specs are here:

http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...&modelid=12152

The video resolution is 1920x1080. Standard definition (SD) resolution which I am having is 720x576.

I also need to learn from Hobbes00.

Hi compro_1975, I agree... Need to own afew of these babies lol!!! wanna donate to my fund? Maybe one day we can have a get together and shoot random stuff... (like my shortfilms :P)

anakin0618, its the Canon XL-H1. I use adobe premiere pro - export > frame.. it exports as a .bmp file, then I'll go to photoshop and do the resizing and other stuff..

As for colour correction and post work, it can be either done by premiere or photoshop - both of them works almost the same way.. so if you know how to "CC" your photos, its just the same way u CC your video footages..

Colour-Correction, is part of the post production process in which you edit the colours/contrast n related attributes of your footages. Take for example 2 different films - Matrix 1, and Saving Private Ryan.. both of them have totally different CC proceses.
Of cos, for us if the client doesnt expect a film/profesisonal look then we should just skip this part.. I know some clients prefer the "video-look" (Take a PD170 and shoot, and then export.. thats what I call video-look)
But personally prefer the film-look.. :P

sgvideoman, yo.. I posted on your thread on the camera u used..

Ahem. Ahem. On the contrary, I have rather poor networking/HR skills.

Book in? Are you in the armed forces?

Thanks Hobbes00 for sharing your experience.

Current I am using Sony Vegas but this image output is not as good. I will try to use Abode Premier to do the image capture.

Like to have a opportunity of an outing with you to learn more.

cheers...

1st task, donate 15% of ur income to fund my crusades!!
haha!

Ok afew pointers to add..

number one, the lighting at bigboystoys was AVERAGE... wasnt not decent enuff.

number two. After viewing the screencaps from camp which seem to be much darker than usual (over contrasted).. I went home and realised my monitor MODE is on "OFFICE" I remembered there are other modes.. like "STD" "sRGB" "VIVID"

Question, what mode is your computer monitor set to?
