Re: [videoblogging] Re: camera suggestions ?

2006-01-20 Thread daniel liss
my 2 cents. i shoot video  film for a living and so have access to  
all manner of shiny stuff. in smaller format DV cameras the 100A is  
hard to beat. it basically won over all the old pd-150 holdouts, and  
if you want 24P it pretty much set the standard and still seems to be  
the best. i've done some interesting projects with it, though have  
yet to try the 100B. panasonic is also coming out with the HVX-200  
which will essentially add HD to the 100A - for not a huge price  
leap. but be forewarned, it'll only record HD to cards and those  
cards are still prohibitively expensive.

that said, i'm with bill on this, though. i leave everything behind  
and shoot nearly everything on my vlogs with a now-ancient digital  
video-enabled still camera.  i love the quality in it's low- 
techness (and it sets up interesting challenges: but that's a  
different story) and find that half the game is that it's always with  
me.

 If you have the money that's a great camera. You could do a lot worse.
 But it also depends on what kind of stuff you'll be shooting. For
 personal video diary stuff most people find video enabled digital
 still cameras adequate. If this is the kind of stuff you plan on doing
 the DVX is way over kill. If you are doing more produced kind of stuff
 the DVX is great. But it still might be overkill if you are doing web
 only stuff. I've been eyeing the Panasonic PV-GS400 as I have read
 some really good things about it and it's very well priced. But if I
 had something like a daily personal diary video blog I'd be looking at
 digi still cameras. I couldn't afford tape for a daily vlog.

 I have the opportunity to purchase a better MiniDV camcorder, but
 thought I would check with the forum to see what your opinions are.

 The one I like is the Panasonic AG-DVX100B MiniDV.

 Kind of expensive.  Does anyone have other suggestions for similar
 featured camcorders?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: camcorder to hard drive

2005-12-02 Thread daniel liss


all you need to do (on a mac atleast) with FCP is go into your capture settings, within log and capture, and change device control to "non-controllable" device. this avoids final cut looking for timecode from a tape.  "capture now" begins loading material live to you're hard drive. which is nice.-dl--http://pouringdown.blogspot.com/http://mookievlog.blogspot.com/On Dec 2, 2005, at 9:46 AM, Bill Streeter wrote:  Yeah there are a few options for this. There are some products that  are camera mounted direct to disk hard drives. They're kind of  expensive, at least the ones I've seen at BH photo. There is a budget  way of doing this. You can capture direct to a laptop HD via firewire.  I don't know what options there are to do this on a Mac but you can do  it via Final Cut Pro or Express or iMovie on a mac very easily. This  is a great option for stationary or studio work but not so good if you  need the camera to be mobile.

Re: [videoblogging] miraculous says Adrien Brody

right. it's like if you make experimental film/video:  it's helpful (i think) to make your work not as against something (ie "critical cinema") but as *for* something: for your own _expression_/world/people. and what i mean to say is that rather than feeling an encroachment by the "big boys", you can feel it as a moment where we can put out anything we want (which is really not the norm for "the media"), and it instantly occupies the same rung as anything else. so, it's like we're all big. really big.-dl--http://pouringdown.blogspot.com/On Nov 30, 2005, at 10:29 AM, Joshua Kinberg wrote:  I don't think its a "take over".

Re: [videoblogging] hi guys

2005-11-18 Thread daniel liss


regarding chroma effects, i've had good results with the sheets that they sell, though they're also expensive. some tips:  - as much separation between the subject and the screen as you can manage (essentially forcing any inconsistencies in the screen/wall out of focus)  - extremely flat/even lighting. ie big soft sources. maybe that'll help. good luck. -daniel On Nov 18, 2005, at 11:02 PM, David Meade wrote:  Well you want to use as close to pure green (255 green) or pure blue (255 blue) paint as you can.
