[TheSk8Life101]

Why does there always hav to be that 1 guy that dislikes every video

[df1phantom]

@TheSk8Life101 lol i know right,friggin asshole this is just test footage.i have no idea why there's always that one loser per 50 people who does that.definitely when test footages are super useful

[mserendib]

what kind of lens are you using? were you using the same lens throughout? there is some captivatingly work.

[javieralza]

are you using a 35mm adapter

[EVANLINDEN16]

the quality on hv30 is almost better than hv40 in my opinion

[javieralza]

@EVANLINDEN16 how better, colors???

[EVANLINDEN16]

@javieralza by alot in my opinion lol. but if u have the hv40 u can render it to 1080p and color correct if u want betterquality

[steviefreeman]

Nice Video Video Man....i just put a hd test up myself......how you finding the camera man???......

[BryceValleyStudios]

Are you using a different lense attached to the camera to achieve that depth of field.

[bddfilms]

@BryceValleyStudios Nope, this is all long lens

[nagrain]

nice quality, i see one for sale for 575, is it a good deal?

[EclektikMedia]

The video shows a lot about the image quality; but I have a little question; How do you import the files on a computer? Firewire? Or USB? I don't have a firewire port -_-

(And it's recording on miniDV right?)

[bddfilms]

@EclektikMedia yes it uses firewire. You can add a firewire card to your computer to make it work, and yes it records to mini dv.

[nousndthem]

Well done!

Your footage tells a lot.

[FixedLensProductions]

that's a very nice quality camera. The information is not quite clear when I look at specifications to buy it. Could you tell me if it records to a tape or some card that can be taken out and plugged into the computer (and if so, which card). Also, could you tell me what format it records in? Thanks a lot.

[bddfilms]

@FixedLensProductions sorry for the late response, yes the camera records to mini dv tape. when I import it into premiere its in an mpeg file format.

[FixedLensProductions]

@bddfilms how do you import the video to the computer if it is on a tape? does it come with a special cable or something?

[bddfilms]

@FixedLensProductions you need a firewire IEEE 1394 cable to capture it in an editing program. The cable doesn't come with the camera. getting the footage on your computer depends on what editing program you have. you can just google search and it will most likely tell you exactly how to do it.

[Jedimaster33]

Hey does this camera records to miniDV? I didn't realize you can record this high of quality in mini Dv.

[bddfilms]

@Jedimaster33

yes it records to both hdv and mini dv tape.

Thrice = Best.

[coldtoon]

AWESOME

[billgrip]

I'm thinking about buying one of these. Thanks for putting this up, footage looks great!

[raeart]

what are your settings in vegas 7 to make this so nice and clear? thanks

[nene213]

can u tell me the render setings i just got me new canon hv40 but im new to this whats the best way on the camera to record ??

[conorUKtraining]

if your new to this then you shouldnt have got the canon hv40....

[alexstolte]

@conorUKtraining

whose to say what a new filmmaker should purchase. The hv40 is an awesome camera that you can grow into especially if you are trying to get into videography as a hobby or profession. 24p at such a great price and hd. I'd say its a great buy for a beginner.

[wildstrike1516]

Great choice in music! Thrice is epic!

[aVeryNiceRafael]

nice very nice and thrice is the greatest

[chaplinshouse]

insane camera for the price. nice test. was this 24p?

[bddfilms]

i'm pretty sure it was filmed in hdv 60i. it's most likely 30p after i exported it.

-Brian

[snaps232425]

I just bought my camera yesterday and was playing with the manual focus but I could not get it to focus in and out in the back like u did here. How do u do that on this camera? I played around with the focus dial and made sure it was on P, MF was on to. Any help would be appreciated?

[bddfilms]

I'm assuming your talking about the depth of field? I got it to do that by being pretty close to the object that was in frame then just playing around with the focus. I hope that helps.

-Brian

[hunter371]

Cool video man. Great job with the focusing, showcasing different colors/lighting, and of course the editing was great. Glad to see what this camera can do.

[yournameisstan]

what program did you use for this? some programs down the quality.

[bddfilms]

for this I used sony vegas pro 7. since then I've started using premiere cs4.

-Brian

[yournameisstan]

i have sony vegas pro 7, thanx

[nairbsille]

nice camera quality! and Thrice is the best :)

[co405]

wuts the lens size because i want to know if my fisheye can fit onto it

[bddfilms]

the threads are 43mm

[GrindValley]

how much?

[helenchg]

lol it's not 3ccd T.T I want a camcorder with 3ccd, minidv, with mic & headphone jack... under 1k do you know what camcorder has it?

[bddfilms]

an hd 3 chip is usually a lot more than 1k. The best standard definition 3ccd i know of is the sony vx1000 or vx2000. They are pretty much the closest professional 3ccd cameras you can get for around 1k with all of your specs. Make sure you do your research before you buy anything.

-brian

[igorg003]

Awesome, dose this have auto focus, like auto focus onto macro things, although i see at 0:24 it looks like it dose, but is that auto or manual twisting the lens thing, which i prefer?

[aznandprd]

Did you adjust the iris while filming? I am thinking of buying the canon hf20 (in my price range) and I need a camera whose iris can be adjusted while filming. Do you know if the hf20 can?

[bddfilms]

I didn't do anything to the iris while filming this video but there are settings for it in my camera. If I had to guess the hf20 would most likely have it. Make sure to do plenty of research before you buy.

[Perfectgammer]

try to view other canon product HFS10 or HFS100

[ElysTube]

what song is this? 0_0

[bddfilms]

atlantic by thrice

[Johnnyboy792]

Whoa , Great Footage !! Been wondering which MiniDV to buy. Thanks for convincing me. Keep em coming Buddy !

[AlexPanacro]

i just ordered mine for the price of $629...i save like $400 bucks!!!! now i can get the wide angle lens with the left over money!! it'll be here in about two weeks...for that price the wait is worth it....

[olmarnow]

Looks Great. I just got the same kind of camera. What is the settings on your camera? What are you using to edit with? Are you color correcting? If so exactly what are you doing to the color? Your video looks better than mine is the reason that I am asking. Thank You. Keep up the good work.

[bddfilms]

I'm pretty sure I used cinema mode, and I edited this one with sony vegas. The render is 1280x720. I did color correct but I only adjusted the contrast.

[DupELcup]

How much was it?

[bddfilms]

all together it was about a grand.

[lianasays]

dude, i got mine for $700

[bddfilms]

wow that's pretty cheap. where did you get it from?
