This was awesome. Everything was so crystal and professional looking. You should definitely check out this company I've been working for. We host a social network for videographers called Poptent, and we give away $500 every month to the best demo reel. You work is so smooth and awesome. Keep up the work, and check us out if you have the time, or seem interested.

Great work Jonathan, good for you - you should be proud! Seriously though, I wish I had half your talent. Your eyes see much more than mine.

Wow, that footage is awesome. Did you use FCP to capture the material of the XH A1? And what abaout the color correction, i want to know the compatibility between the XH A1 and Final cut studio 2.

[jdubsky]

Sorry to disappoint but everything was captured in adobe premier pro cs2 and cs3. No final cut used here. But it's pretty much the same workflow.

I have captured before from HDV to final cut studio and it works fine.

[GeForce47]

Thats was great dude, i wish i could have the material to do that...

[KaratCake]

you have talent out the wazoo, brother.

[senyores2000]

this is dramatic and moving. hmmm did you use a steady cam ... the glide is smooth. sweet compostion, colouring, and feel.

good job!

I think your a pretty good cinematographer, what type of pro-camera are you using and what post production..

[jdubsky]

The clips in this video are a mix of the Panasonic DVX 100b and the Canon XH A1 HDV camera, also some of the shots are just the naked camera, and some contain stuff with a 35mm adapter ( Letus extreme or other )

[Bl4ckl1st]

I have a panasonic AG-DVC7,... you have two pro-consumer cameras and one of them HD, what bank did you rob!

[jdubsky]

it's called hard work, and a couple of acting gigs :)

[Bl4ckl1st]

that's good, How is the HD canon vs. the standard definition Canon XL series.. was you using the HD cam in the clip with the lady on the phone standing outside with the trees blurred in the background... i like how the trees were blurry and she was in focus.

[jdubsky]

that shot was done using a 35mm adapter, look em up :)

[Bl4ckl1st]

if your talking about an adapter for you HD which have a removeable lens, my cam doesn't offer any.. if your talking about a regular 35mm lens you bought for you Panasonic, then i would have to get a 43mm for mine but what kind... telephoto, wide screen lens, or raynex- razor sharp image..

[rtdigitalrecording]

hey man i like your videos & the quality is off the chain. Can you give me some insight on how & what of compression you use. thanks Roland

[somatichdg]

Very good!

[vegeta1234]

great I really like the guy who is painting the train

[WhiteWoodEnt]

Amazing. I shoot with a DVX and my stuff isn't coming out HALF as crisp as this. This even looks great on YouTube. So I KNOW it has to be a killer on DVD.

[AspiringPhotographer]

This is fantastic man, really awesome material. Have you created most of the toning for these shots in-camera, or were they done in post?

[kaanhaylaz]

tight!

you may wanna check out BigYouUpdotcom for your stuff, just uploaded my demo there, called 4 Clones

[jdubsky]

there are two ways in which to achieve this. the first is to shoot super 35mm anamorphic, which is a stretched image which is later corrected by the lens on the projector, or one would shoot super 35 ( or 16x9 ) and frame it for 2.35:1 to matte the screen. then in post you add the black bars to get rid of the stuff you did not intend to haev in the shot, this is how i achieved that.

[WelschVideo]

how did u get the video so wide? looks like 2:35:1

[irishpants]

looks great.

which videos did you shoot with the xh a1?

[jrstattooedgurl]

very nice!!! ;)

[toddlaitar]

nice work, love your glidecam footage. I'm still working on mine, need more practice though.

[jdubsky]

a bit of both, some ifocus HQ on the dvx, some stock dvx and some stock XH A1

[levixiong]

looks nice..... are you using an adapter or just the stock lens

[jdubsky]

majority of it is stock lens.
