canon HV20? Not bad...not bad...I shoot with the RED Epic and I like to see you people doing some good shit with a tiny lille cam. editing is also very good. let me guess...didi you use "magic Bullet" on post? the only thing i don't like about it is that these softwares is so hard on the CONTRAST that removes the correct gamma so everything that is dark, goes straight to black and you loose all the detail...

very good film man im working on one i have a hv 2o beachteck azden sgmx 1 sony vegas 10 raynox 660 wide angel lens wish we luck man great film again man
@bootsluzer Get what you can afford man. And no, the hv20 and hv40 have the exact same image quality. Of course the hv40 has native 24p and a couple tweaks to its design but it's more or less the same. If you have enough money for the t2i then go for it. But keep in mind that you'll be spending a lot more on accessories to make the t2i function like a video camera on. The Hvxx camera's are great tho, and if you go that route don't have any regrets, just make it work.
Great cinematography, I'm amazed you did this on the HV30. Great short Story man! Hopefully you come out with more great stories. I'm just starting making shorts, I'm also starting with the Hv30 and move up from there.
hey great film im truly inspired by this film did you use a 35mm dop adapter and what liting did u.also i would love and be honored to act in one of your next films any room for a somebody thats nobody
@tshkwmt Tapes are much cheaper and offer more data capacity for your money. More than Flash memory. The only disadvantage is that if you're copying the Videos to your PC it has to be done in realtime. But these Tapes are very good for archiving since they are very durable and solid. One more thing. You should allways stick with one brand. I prefer the standard (orange) Sony Premium DV tapes. No need to pay for expensive HDV tapes. Standard tapes are working perfectly.
This Is Excellent ! Bravo ! Great Short-Film ! Great Acting ! Damn I need an HV20 (or two :D) I have a few questions :
Did you used a 35mm adapter ?? What Mic did you used with the HV20 ? Which Software for the footage ? Have you changed the colors, contrast..with a software ??
Do you think the HV20 is enough "powerful" to be kinescoped ?
Thank you so much :)
And again : This is an excellent short ! I totally adore it ! Keep up the good work !
@Dimeworth See we are born peaceful beings.. but as we grow up we are influenced by those around us.. when threatened we can be come violent.. our fascination with violence in films can if we are not careful become a self full filling prophesy... Nice photography and story telling skills
@ssnake064 You should watch the Michael Moore documentary dude, "Bowling For Columbine" Movie are not at all the cause of violence in our lives or minds !
And dude, violence was here thousand years ago before movies ! But yeah, you should watch Bowling for Columbine. Everybody should watch it

ever since i watched your film, i decided one thing... filmmaking is not all about money, but the techniques. i created a short film for my local film fest here.
You "decided" that? Come on man. You're the reason studios are willing to spend $250 million on a big budget flick when all audiences really want is a good story and something they can be emotionally affected by. Wake up. Oh yeah, you already "decided" to.
sorry i used the wrong word. i mean, like i know for a fact... if u know what i mean.
check my video Misconceptions short film, and ull understand that im not "deciding" that. i know a lot more than u think ma friend. and im certainly not affected by budget. im the reason they want to make a 250 million dollar film? man that was really uncalled for. i used the wrong word and im sorry for that.. so... think before you say something. its like a headless chicken trying to speak...
This was really beautiful. I really enjoyed it. The HV 20 is a wonderful little beastie! I'll be getting mine in just a couple of weeks. BUT- It's really about the talent, sensitivity and skill of the photog/shooter/storyteller that matters. Waraich has great skill! Thanks for this fine piece-
Get a Rebel T2i instead. Same price (if not cheaper), option to change lenses (w/ no adapter and MUCH cheaper) is the selling point for me, and a MUCH MUCH cleaner, less compressed image.
Im planning to buy the Cannon HV40 Vixia. cuz I wanna start learning about film and things like that xD... Is this a good camcorder for a beginner cuz Im just 16.
Yes! A great beginner camcorder in my opinion. It has some manual functions (not hard to find and adjust), and you don't need a lot of know-how to create a crisp image. I, personally WOULD recommend it.
I love this movie.. I have watched it 3 times in the last hour and just made my brother watch it on Vimeo.. listened to your podcast interview as well.
I am simply blown away by the cinematography and score.. perfect. I would want to see the feature length version of this film!
BTW, I only found this video because I happened to be researching the Canon HV40 to buy.. haha!
@agent5233 same here, my mind has been changed. to be honest, some of the shots you did, like the guy opening the door and shutting it in the dark, all the dolly shots, reminds me a lot of Christopher nolan cinematography lol. very breath taking!
woah im thinking of getting this camera im only 16 but i really want to make my own stuff.... but it seems complicated. I know its not just a case of buying a camera.
LOL doesnt matter 6 months or not ive kept the same wardobe from scene to scene no matter how short or long of a film. they make this short trying to be serious but not serious attention to detail your right common troll mistake - the actor or director just a amature
I have a question that I think has not been answered before... I believe you mentioned somewhere that you used a rode videomic. Well, the rode videomic is a mono microphone, I was wondering if you would recommend this over a stereo mic (like Rode SVM) for stuff like this. I mean, to get more of ambience sound, perhaps... I don't know what's your opinion on this, but would be helpful to know. thanks if you take the time for answering!
@ognistik pros generally don't use stereo mics on talent. usually you want a directional mic (shotgun) as close as possible to the actors mouth. A stereo mic would only give you more ambient noise. If you have two people you can put a mic on each actor. Even if one actor is off-screen, you still put a mic on them both and it gives you a lot more choices during editing.
When you get your ambient sound, though, you can us a stereo mic if you want (or two mics).
I plan on getting an Azden SMX-10 DIRECTIONAL stereo mic. I know you say stereo isn't good for dialogue. So what I'm gonna do is combine the left and right channels to make mono out of the stereo.
Then I'll leave it on stereo when I record ambient sounds.
How would that work? On a boom pole I bet the Smx-10 could isolate dialogue pretty well.
@sonicballer8888 honestly it'll probably sound great - definitely way better than a camera mike. get as close to the actor's mouth as you possibly can and try to eliminate any background noise while recording (turn off fans, etc)
This was shot with the hv20 "NO LEN ADAPTER WAS USED" ... If you guys actually shot for a living u would have noticed there isn't any shallow depth of field shots anywhere in this film... what makes this film look so good is..(1)the hv20 produces a great images...(2)COLOR GRADING..the editor on this film used Magic Bullet Looks.1.0
I own a hv20 and I got it when it first came out. Strange thing in my opinion is that some footage I take looks beautiful, other footage looks just like any cheap junk camera ... even though everything I shoot is pretty much lit the same. My footage looks like crap uploaded, but on tv it looks way better (and I've tried uploading it several different ways). I guess it doesn't depend on the format, but the cameraman
truth be told, no offense intended. I believe it...good writing, good acting, good camera work(I own an HV20 so I suppose it's partially sour grapes) I just have
to wonder what you edited this on. That's all. hey awesome job man.
for the longest time i thought this was shot on a red camera..thank god it wasnt there is hope i can afford a cheaper camera and accomplish something like this with hard work :D
well, if you're an indepentend fimmaker you probably can't afford a Red One. Shooting with an HV20 is in fact more amazing, because it takes an artistic vision to make it look like this. The red one is just a step higher.
It IS really amazing...don't think that just because you get a hold of a Red that you can shoot anything as good as this. It takes training and talent to do this.
I wasn't bashing the production, actors, or quality of the film. I was just speaking about the quality of the visuals. I have a hv20 as well, so i know the work that goes into something like this.
could anyone with editing skills answer this for me? lets say that the director filmed this with one camera, would the actors have to keep repeating their lines when the camera is cutting back and forward from actor (a) to actor (b) but actor (a) is the only one doing the talking?
yes, or else record the dialogue first and, take three or four shots from your desired angle. and then edit it in the post, but yes actor has to perform it again and again for camera cuts
Lolwut? Aspect ratios have nothing to do with audio tracks, the editor does this.. It's not that hard.. You can do it easily on sony vegas or adobe premiere.
Absolutely amazing. I'm a fan already. One day i'll put out a video aswel and send you the link.. hehe.. I bought HV20 aswel but never got time to make a short or long out of it. I've mostly used it for home videos so far...
this is amazingly shot. But the acting could be better, harder, sharper....
And some scene editing could be faster. In the beginning the man at the left was in the dark most of the time which makes it hard to focus on the sound.
extremely well done. and with a budget of only about $700, this cinematography is just amazing. you are a huge inspiration to me and with this short film, you have marked my brain forever (IN A GREAT WAY)! this is now my favorite short film of all time.
Thanks, I dont think it was so much the mic being used as the audio production itself, talents were a bit low in the first scene, and the last line had a noticeable in and out because of the hum. I like the general use of audio though, some good folly in there.
You're truly an inspiration man... Thank you for such a wonderful film, and also justifying my purchase of an hv30. This truly represents my belief, that the equipment does not make the film.
I think I found the first flaw in the dialogue at 6:05 "Authentication A-dash" in real life he would have said "Alpha"
sry Ayz, it took me 3 years but I found one! lol

Me too! this is amazing. how the hell do you get it like that!

@Brynn17 grazi. standard canon wide angle adaptor, and some really heavy custom grading in sony vegas.
also shoot all your 24p stuff with 1/60th shutter. it's sharper and more filmlike motion.
Dimeworth 2 years ago
how much does a canon wide angle adaptor cost?
and what is the advantage of that?
can you still get a look like how u shot it without the adapter?
SuperAndrenaline 2 years ago
@SuperAndrenaline not sure, google it.
But yes, you can. The adaptor is not a key ingredient at all. Some of this was shot without the adaptor too.
Dimeworth 2 years ago
Your film looks great. Did you use a DoF adaptor?

dude i just don't see how you shot this with just an HV20, what where the settings on the camera when you shot it?
dcsfilmproductions 2 years ago
I own a hv20 and I got it when it first came out. Strange thing in my opinion is that some footage I take looks beautiful, other footage looks just like any cheap junk camera ... even though everything I shoot is pretty much lit the same. My footage looks like crap uploaded, but on tv it looks way better (and I've tried uploading it several different ways). I guess it doesn't depend on the format, but the cameraman

you expect me to sit here and believe you while you feed me a line about you shooting this on the HV20? How much editing did you do?

@joshjcarlson haha i don't expect anything from you. you believe whatever makes you feel better. ;)
Dimeworth 2 years ago
truth be told, no offense intended. I believe it...good writing, good acting, good camera work(I own an HV20 so I suppose it's partially sour grapes) I just have
to wonder what you edited this on. That's all. hey awesome job man.
joshjcarlson 2 years ago
so wait that was only shot with the canon HV40, sweet man what kind of lens?

My god, i thought this was amazing 3 weeks ago. Until i saw what the Red One could do. Ignorance is really bliss
decade03 2 years ago
well, if you're an indepentend fimmaker you probably can't afford a Red One. Shooting with an HV20 is in fact more amazing, because it takes an artistic vision to make it look like this. The red one is just a step higher.

Now compare the prices.
Passivesoul 2 years ago
It IS really amazing...don't think that just because you get a hold of a Red that you can shoot anything as good as this. It takes training and talent to do this.

I wasn't bashing the production, actors, or quality of the film. I was just speaking about the quality of the visuals. I have a hv20 as well, so i know the work that goes into something like this.

Oh.

Man!!! I would have never knew it was a one man crew by watching it from youtube land. Thanks!!!

could anyone with editing skills answer this for me? lets say that the director filmed this with one camera, would the actors have to keep repeating their lines when the camera is cutting back and forward from actor (a) to actor (b) but actor (a) is the only one doing the talking?
William82oct 2 years ago
yes, or else record the dialogue first and, take three or four shots from your desired angle. and then edit it in the post, but yes actor has to perform it again and again for camera cuts
taus90 2 years ago
You can merge audio tracks, so you wouldnt have to get the actors to repeat their scripts.
AnonymousBarbarious 2 years ago
aspect ratios, the cameras and the type of film stock who chooses all that, the director or the DP?
William82oct 2 years ago
Lolwut? Aspect ratios have nothing to do with audio tracks, the editor does this.. It's not that hard.. You can do it easily on sony vegas or adobe premiere.

Absolutely amazing. I'm a fan already. One day i'll put out a video aswel and send you the link.. hehe.. I bought HV20 aswel but never got time to make a short or long out of it. I've mostly used it for home videos so far...
InspireMediaCo 2 years ago
this is amazingly shot. But the acting could be better, harder, sharper....
And some scene editing could be faster. In the beginning the man at the left was in the dark most of the time which makes it hard to focus on the sound.

extremely well done. and with a budget of only about $700, this cinematography is just amazing. you are a huge inspiration to me and with this short film, you have marked my brain forever (IN A GREAT WAY)! this is now my favorite short film of all time.

awsome. its not the camera. its whos using the camera. cant belive this was shot with hv20.

what mic r u using?
lightmydank 2 years ago
Rode NT2 shotgun mic
Oetampje 2 years ago
Thanks, I dont think it was so much the mic being used as the audio production itself, talents were a bit low in the first scene, and the last line had a noticeable in and out because of the hum. I like the general use of audio though, some good folly in there.

You're truly an inspiration man... Thank you for such a wonderful film, and also justifying my purchase of an hv30. This truly represents my belief, that the equipment does not make the film.

compelling work tho
