Panasonic HMC150 Demo Reel: Christmas in Idaho

[MobileMickey]

if only the HMC was still worth the price :/ ... nice job tho.

Nice clip!~ Just bought this camera - still learning menus. Can't wait to shoot with it. But.... fell in love with your clip and wanted to say so. Nice!~

[PatrickBarrett03]

@sevenyes7 Thanks! Glad you like it. You'll love the camera. It's probably one of the best you can buy for starting out with in videography. It's not too intimidating, produces a nice picture, rugged, and very reliable. I have a 7D and some GoPro's as well, but I still break out this camera for road trips/on the go stuff.

Enjoy!

@CjwDnB (this is my new profile) thanks! that little fluffball is amazballs fun.

[PatrickBarrett03]

@CjwDnB I love that dog. She's so awesome!

[DanielHidalgoA]

it looks so noisy and grainy in low light scenes and oversaturated and over exposed, did you color correct it?... anyway i like most of the shoots especially the exterior shoots in the forest

[PatrickBarrett03]

@DanielHidalgoA Yeah, they're color corrected, but I didn't know what I was doing then. I'd make a color change and think to myself, "oooh, that's pretty cool looking."

I know better now. haha!

you could really benefit from some white balancing. lots of this stuff looks really yellow.

[DCAdams]

I really like your footage, and your style... great camera and great editing. I've been shooting with a 5D, but want an actual video camera for longer shots, and for doing weddings and event stuff, where I could use a zoom, and quick pans without blowing it out... your video convinced me that the HMC-150 is what I'm gonna get.

[PatrickBarrett03]

@DCAdams Thanks! I didn't think this would become that popular (even though 1000 views is like needle in a hay stack on YT) of a reference for the HMC-150. Everything I shot during my trip in the video was practically the same settings from out of the box, but like I told the guy earlier on here, I eventually branched out and discovered better settings to film with, and the results are even better. It's an excellent camera for practically anything. Extremely durable and strong too.

[Jetstorm2k]

How did you get it to be wider then 16:9???

[PatrickBarrett03]

@Jetstorm2k In Final Cut Express there's an "effect" called 'wide screen.' drag that file/effect over and onto the desired clip in the timeline. double click on the clip and then you can choose what ratio width you want.

[atomterrible]

@Jetstorm2k He cropped some extra off the top and bottom, so there was actually a loss of information.

[AshKilamande]

wow great quality. i have this camera but i cant seem to get as good quality as this. I use sony vegas to render. any suggestions? btw are you using an adapter?

[PatrickBarrett03]

@AshKilamande Thanks! It took me a while to branch out and try some of the other setting on this camera. I shot this video in 1080/60i, but after working with the 7D I've started getting better results with my visual textures and so on with this camera. no adapters for the HMC-150 (too expensive right now) and I edit/render with Final Cut Express. I'm going to start using the both of the cameras a lot more though.
