Tunsberg City (SGpro & DVX100)

[itmfilms]

Hey tommy can you tell me what song is this? It’s beautiful…Thanks :)

[TheVAChannel]

this is amazing! you just fall in love with the photography : )

[tommygunfeth]

Thank you!

[causalidox]

Hey Tommy, nice vids, your dance slowmo wiggle shot was one of the tipping points for me buying my DVX. I was wondering about this video, did you have the supporting rods attached with the SGPro while handheld? Is that workable at all? And I was curious also, did you buy directly from Shoot35?

[tommygunfeth]

Thanks mate :)

Congrats on your purchase, it's really an awesome camera!

You can't really use the SGpro without the supporting rods. But yeah it's absolutely wrokable :)

I've been doing it all along.

I bought it directly from shoot35 yes :)

It costs a bit, but is SO worth it!

[causalidox]

Did you get the followfocus as well? Or is it workable using the focus on the lens itself? Also do you use a separate monitor, or can you do focus while looking at the DVX's own monitor? Not too far away?

I'm thinking of ordering my Blade today! :)

[tommygunfeth]

Ah nice man:)

No I actually don't use a FF or a monitor.

I just have a magnet on my lcd screen which flips the image, but makes it "reverse" sort of. Like a mirror. Can be confusing, but you learn to go with it :)

[causalidox]

Ah yeah, the flip hack. The new Blade has a flip module built-in. Did you have a choice of rotoblades back then as well? I'm thinking of going with Rotoblade2 for the nice bokeh, but it kills alot of light.

I think i've seen you on DVXuser too, is that right?

[tommygunfeth]

No I didn't have that choice when I bought it :P

Yeah I'm tommetass, there =)

[causalidox]

I ordered today! I'm so broke now! Can't wait to try it out! Thanks for the advice! :)

[tommygunfeth]

Hahaha! It's an investment!

Congratulations! You won't regret it!

[19ulrich90]

i like your style:)

[tommygunfeth]

@19ulrich90 thanks :)

[VicstarWorks]

One of the best shot vids with the DVX that i've seen so far! Great work

[tommygunfeth]

Thank you man:)

Appreciate it!

[JeMaineNaKlong]

Oh, nice, but I life in Germany :D

[JeMaineNaKlong]

Nice Location, where is it?

[tommygunfeth]

Thanks:)

This is in Tunsberg. At the harbour I guess..

[nowareroom]

looks magical. i want one. where did you get your SGpro r3

[ANDRESIDENT]

if this video is shot in 25P progressive how did you do so fine slow motion?

[tommygunfeth]

The realtime is shot in 25p.. the slowmotion is shot in 50i :)

[ANDRESIDENT]

i thought you shot all of it in 25p! ok!

[tommygunfeth]

nope :)

[Jode86]

Wow this is vid is amazing! Ive been thinking about buying a dvx100 with 35mm adaptor and this vid totally helps my descision making process.

Beautiful work! Great use of natural lighting, slow motion and music!

[tommygunfeth]

Hehe thank you man:)

Nice that it can be an inspiration to other people!

A 35mm adapter will rock your world!

[Jode86]

chea you made that pretty clear in your vid! Im def gettin one.

keep up the awsome work!

[tommygunfeth]

thanks again!

[ANDRESIDENT]

wow! very nice!

[tommygunfeth]

Thank you:)

[ANDRESIDENT]

let me ask you something. Does sgpro is a good apapter? should i buy it? cause i really think so

[tommygunfeth]

(Hi, sorry for the very late reply)

It's a great adapter!

But you can't buy exactly this now though, but the upgrade is for sale now.. the SGblade.. it's awesome and I want it myself actually :P hehe

[ANDRESIDENT]

man you were so late that i bought the sgblade! LoooooL :p

[tommygunfeth]

hahaha! :P

nice!

Congrats!

[ANDRESIDENT]

:P !

[zatochi90]

Is there a reason why you use an FD lense instead of a EF lense. Or is it because you're dad used to take pictures with this lense?

[tommygunfeth]

Hehe, that was a weird question:P

The reason I use the FD lens is because It has manual focus AND manual aperture... The EF lens has the focus but the aperture is adjusted digitally :)

[slayer1977]

I really like your footage. But I'm thinking how much of this is magic bullet's work. Can you upload a piece of raw material, without post-production? The reason why: I'm thinking on buying the SGpro adapter. Many thanks

[tommygunfeth]

I can put up a test soon yeah:)

[slayer1977]

Many thanks.

[javeek]

OMG! This is practically FILM!! It's amazing photography... Excellent job!

1. What lenses and/or adapters did you use?

2. Isn't it quite heavy having the SGPro + lenses on the cam using it HANDHELD?

3. Who's that hottie in your film? :p

Great job on this! If i had seen this without the heading, I would have thought it was FILM!

[tommygunfeth]

Hehe, thank you very much:)

1.

The adapter was my beloved SGpro r3, and the lens was my favorite one, the Canon FD 35mm f/2.0.

2.

It does get a bit heavy with all the equipement on, but it's a small sacrifice considering the outcome of it..

3.

Hehe, it's my friend Dan. Unfortunately for you he's happily married:P

[javeek]

Thax for your reply! I'm just so amazed at the beauty of your vid! Excellent song choice too...and your friend has a great on camera presence...he should be an actor/model or something...

:)

[DramaKidStudioz]

HEY, Nice Cinematography, i am thinking about getting the dvx100, which is the best 35mm for it, SGPRO, REDROCK, LETUS....etc.

[DramaKidStudioz]

was this shot on progressive or interlaced...

[tommygunfeth]

Progressive:)

25p

[Flavouredspine]

Yay!

[imrecock]

how much the canon lens set you back?

[justfine2007]

umm money wise? :P

I think it cost 210 USD.

[imrecock]

thanks.

[xpreshun]

great job. what's the name of this song?

[tommygunfeth]

thanks:)

This is Papertrigger with the song Sidereal

[1MinDLesS1]

awesome, i love the overall mood thats set in this. very well made.

[tommygunfeth]

Thank you very much:)

That was what I was hoping for..

[1MinDLesS1]

you're very welcome man :D

[yakuza26]

Amazing work. This video is the best quality of this camera that I have seen.

[tommygunfeth]

Thanks m8!

Appreciate it:)

[brettmccullough1]

This video looks great...I was curious, I still haven't figured out how to get good looking slow motion...did you shoot in 24p? 30...how did get the slow mo to look so smooth? I have after effects and have tried remapping and can't do it...can you give me pointers? thanks.

[tommygunfeth]

thanks:)

I shot in 50i (PAL country) and then used after effects to slow it down 200%.

[TeamSNSunite]

Great Video, The shots are amazing, it really tells a story. What settings were used for exporting and posting on youtube, the quality is much better than most videos.

[tommygunfeth]

thank you very much:)

I use quicktime to export my avi files. And in there I use the h.264 codec.. which rocks! :P

[belveduke]

This is breathtaking. Makes me want to cry, and I don't know why. This rig is incredible. Must do to my DVX100A. Beautiful song. On my way to itunes now.

[tommygunfeth]

oh, thank you very much!

Don't know much how I appreciate it=)

the sgpro 35mm adapter is just awesome..

[pequelina]

who sings??? please...

[tommygunfeth]

This is Papertrigger with the song Sidereal..

Great band.. not too famous though..

[MarijahChablisBjork]

Vakkert;)

[tommygunfeth]

takker og bukker:)

[gnosneb]

what type of color/image adjustments did you do to this? I can eyeball a couple, but i like the overall look. hopefully you can share your secrets

[tommygunfeth]

color correction was done with magic bullet I think.

But not that much actually. A bit desaturation, added some yellowish feeling, upped the contrast.. that's it I guess:)

thanks:)

[toadograph]

how did you your slow mo?its wonderfull! You shoot in 50i?

[tommygunfeth]

Thank you:)

Yeah I shot in 50i.. captured in Adobe Premiere.

Exported it, imported it in After Effects.. there I used time stretch and stretched it 200%.. :)

[toadograph]

can you share to us your export settings to youtube please? (export, size, codecs etc...)the quality is incredible! i tried (export with adobe premiere pro in microsoft avi uncompressed and in quicktime pro export to h264 with quality at 75) but its ugly as hell! :( help me please

[tommygunfeth]

hmm... it shouldn't be ugly:P hehe

That's sort of what I always do.

But where you can set the quality, what other options do you have there? Maybe it has something to do with it?

[toadograph]

in fact, its ugly on youtube but not on my computer, i'm gonna be crazy :(

[raan80]

I´m waiting for my Sgpro. I decided to buy sgpro adapter when i saw your videos!.

good work!

[tommygunfeth]

Wow, can't say how much that means to me:)

Appreciate it a lot:)

And congratulations on your purchase.. you won't be disappointed!

[richblend]

I'm thinking of getting a DVX with an sg pro, this is an amazing example... Looks great.

[tommygunfeth]

thank you very much:)

[richblend]

You know if theres much difference between the A and B models?

[tommygunfeth]

Well, actually the A model is a bit more grainy than the B version.

And there are some improvements on the LCD as well. It shows true 16:9 format while the A versoin squeezes the image. Which can be really annoying... :P

But I get by, hehe!

[VaZZim]

Kjempebra! :D

[tommygunfeth]

takker og bukker! :)

[oetlul]

Impressive shit, dude. Really filmic.. The whole 'this is but a shitty digital cam' feel has disappeared. This movie truly convinces me of the possibilities of a simple dvx100 and a 35mm adapter.

[tommygunfeth]

Hehe, that is exactly what I needed to hear!

And it's so true..the SGpro is awesome.. but the DVX's colors are simply great..

[KN1V35X]

this is really great stuff man thanks for sharing

[tommygunfeth]

thank you so much:)
