sony EX1 test w/ glidecam x-10

[sparrow2a]

the glidecam does work well! what color correction did you use and whats your pictures profile here? cheers!

[skipaudio]

@sparrow2a i don't think i color corrected it. the pic profile was on standard :)

[whitewolf3999]

Lol um that was a one way

[hamedmedia]

the resolution is not okay ,this is not real ex1r,

[spamdude060]

I would definitely get an EX1...if only I can afford one :(

[AmbientFilmProd]

it was all downhill after the date at Chipotle!

[skipaudio]

no! everything was on flat ground!!!!! stop analyzing the story of a test you infant.

[fleshtrashheat]

@skipaudio it was a joke. you know because they got into a fight after they went to chipotle. get it? there's nothing wrong with the camera work.

[skipaudio]

@fleshtrashheat true true, i havent really watched this video in so long, the joke went right over my head! thanks for clarification!

[dickdog75]

nice video. good examples of the glidecam for sure

[MrPista39]

looked to me like an eyeglass ad :-)

[RomeWalks]

Thanks so much Jay for your suggestions extending the X10 plate for the PMW EX1. Can't believe the difference it makes. Cheers

[skipaudio]

@RomeWalks hey no prob!

[StuartHaight]

@skipaudio welcome to the internet, just ignore the haters (leave the comments there for other tools to try and correct them, then sit back and watch, haha)

I will provide some constructive criticism. Try not to have the glidecam movements draw attention to itself. Instead of arching around the talent, just keep it steady and track them (plus try and get tighter shots, more Mid shot or cowboy shot, shallows the DOF too). Looks legit, I use a Glidecam2000 w/ HMC40.

Opinion from what I said?

[multimediosz]

this video was shot with the ex1 but rendered in standard definition 480p, maybe other videos shot with the ex1 are in HD 720p or 1080p here in youtube

[HawkStud1os]

The footage is fine, the video is just heavily compressed.

[CaptainStomach]

Great!!! =) I like Foo Fighters a lot!!! I can look video like this all day long. Glidecam is Perfect Romantic device

[Burritoast]

Glidecam SUCKS, their gimbals are cheap and faulty

STEADICAM FOR LIFE !!!

[shefshofabsehr]

Well I suppose it depends on the look you want. and the budget.

I actually prefer the glidecam's subtle imperfections in many cases.

[007DWS]

Hey dude just be logical and think about the upload???

He didn't upload the video at a high quality that's why it looks what it looks, if he uploaded it at a higher bit rate the quality would have been much better sow don't just go and tell people how the quality should look. If he wanted to he could have used the best quality and uploaded a 1GIG file to youtube for this short thing which takes ages.

octobermadison... Life happens at all hours of the day... Besides, this a test. No rules, no resaon, no worries. IT"S A TEST!

Skipaudio... Nice Stabilizer work. ,

[iguanacruda]

AAAAAHHHHH! I want a glidecam!!! how much??

[ssinnermann]

But the price of the pilot and the flyer kills the bank and watching your footage... I think Glidecam does the job fine. Do you think it will be able to support the weight of my gear. Thank you

[ssinnermann]

Great Job!

I am thinking of buying a flyer or a Pilot, as I intend getting letus and for my PD150 which I want to exchange for an EX1. Not sure the the Pilot is going to support the extra weight since I don't want to be restricted to one lens. What do you think?

[meglouisedance]

How important is the X-10 upgrade over and above the Smooth Shooter rig? Do I need it? Just wondered cuz it adds about $700 or so to the price... THanks.

[skipaudio]

i would say it is well worth the $700 more. I used the smooth shooter for about a year and when I got the x-10, it was like night and day difference. the 2 main things i liked was it was significantly smoother and the boom range is better

[canonfire]

Great footage, love the use of framing the man in the womans car window as you run on the side and capture both of them in a visualy fun moment.

[chavomax]

Great footage...very very professional... quick question: what kind of batteries do you use for the JVC HD110u...I have one but the battery only lasts me 45 mins - 1 hour...thanks...

[skipaudio]

look up IDX battery system for jvc hd100. the whole system cost about $1000 but the batteries last 3-5 hours.

[mahamza86]

Which song is this man?????? I want it.... I need it.

Help me!!

[skipaudio]

foo fighers

[mahamza86]

Thanks for the help

[robb21572]

Nicely done! One of the best demos on You Tube. I am ordering the 2000 pro and can't wait to get started.

[liwendong2005]

nice vid! but i am troubled by the problem of how can the hd source vid of mp4 type be edited, what software do you recommend?

[skipaudio]

xdcam format kinda sucks to edit. i wish that you could ingest as prores 422, that would be much better to edit with.

[mahamza86]

I love the vid, love the technique, I guess the EX1 is the best option out there for tapeless recording

[1StarProductions]

I'm sure this footage looks great on an HD monitor but on YouTube it looks like it could have been shot with a PD-150, even in High Quality.

[skipaudio]

yes that is a correct observation.

[Mediaclick7]

Could the glidecam take the weight of a Letus Extreme + EX1 setup?

[skipaudio]

yes definitly, I have used the red rocks adaptor with the hvx on it, and the hvx is (i think) heavier than the ex1

[lmucinema]

The EX1 is a GREAT cam. And the x-10 footage on it looked amazing.Thank you for including the footage of you shooting on the x-10 at the end. Don't listen to Lumpheadwinch. He's an idiot.

[skipaudio]

thanks! ive been shooting with it for almost a year now, i refuse to shoot with the hvx, its nearly mentally impossible after using the ex1 so much ;-)

[lcinema]

Best camera on the market under $10,000 for image quality and low ligh performance.

[lumpheadwinch]

Sony ex1 is ok for a cheap camera...

[MacsMedia]

cheap? It's not really cheap.. I love that camera it has so many features and settings you can set manually!

[lumpheadwinch]

well if you put it like that, then its bad for an expensive camera. Bad luck to those who wasted all that money, bet your kicking yourselfs now they are pretty much obselete. Sony have a habit of doing things like that.

[lcinema]

You have so much experience and beautiful footage that I am going to trust you on that.

[skipaudio]

haha, great reply.

[lmucinema]

How is the Ex1 obsolete (Learn to spell)? Its a great HD cam with unbelievable flexibility. And if its so terrible, what do you recommend genius?

[lucky13studios]

wow i was considering getting the steadicam pilot but after this i dont know...

what do you think?

[skipaudio]

If you have a smaller size camera, i would go with the pilot. the iso-elastic arm is way better than glidecam's arm. I am buying the flyer pretty soon b/c of its way nicer than the x-10 will ever be. but i will say that the x-10 is really awesome for the price. I have enjoyed using it.

[lucky13studios]

Makes sense... I'd be using an XL2 with it just for the record

thanks for responding

[pressplayvideo]

hey i like the video alot its sick!, did you use a picture profile? or is that standard?

[skipaudio]

i used standard settings. its a sweet little camera.

[drumminsteve]

sweet little camera for around $6000 :(

[inaitvad]

La Ex-1 es mucho mejor que la HVX, de todas maneras. LA EX-1 es una CineAlta de gama baja. Esta pensada para eso. Creo que a Panasonic y sus camaras prosumer le falta observar los detalles que tienen las demas camaras.

[th4002]

Hey!! Where can we download this video on HD? This video is AMAZING!!!!

I perfectly know what is my next camera!!

Some one can tell what kind of program and computer will be able to work the shoot?

[DominickFilms]

True. But you can make videos look pretty nice on here too. If you're using Apple Compressor, compress the footage to H.264 for Apple TV. The picture comes out crystal clear on youtube. Looks great.

[grokgod]

I want to get s steadicam pilot of x-10 but the weight of sony and letus and lens is unsure...

[blackwatchstudio]

i'm impressed with the stability but not the clarity of the EX1

[DominickFilms]

What do you mean? Have you seen the HD footage uncompressed? Also, make sure you watch it in High Quality.

The PMW-EX1 shoots beautiful footage and I have the same setup as you! It's great but I'm also waiting on my Letus Extreme, which should be the best thing ever!

[das2003]

nice work! i just got an ex1. how do you get such a smooth image and not a stuttery frame. all my footage is all jagged when something moves into frame or when i move the camera fast. its weird

[skipaudio]

thanks, i am using a glidecam x-10 stabalizer. some of the footage is a little motion blurry but thats b/c of the 24p.

[whiskeyworkin]

You probably don't have the shutter on. Look at the front of the camera and turn the shutter switch to on.

Use 1/48 for 24fps and 1/60 for 30 fps for stability.

[StyrovisioN]

Nice work! How do you upload the video to play high quality on youtube? Looks so much better...

[skipaudio]

thanks, im not sure, i use compressor to compress into iphone format and youtube automatically does the high quality version for me... i dont do anything special.

[themunter]

ah, sorry, i can see you don't now i've watched it to the end.

which model of the glidecam is it?

[skipaudio]

its glidecam x-10

[themunter]

do you have the letus lens adapter on there too? just wondering how heavy it is...

[skipaudio]

no but i want to test that letus really bad, i hear its the awesome
