News Live Shot Timelapse 2fps 350.0 HVX200

I shot this on the panasonic AG-HVX200. A simple liveshot caught on P2 DVCPROHD 720p 24pn that has much to do about nothing. However, at night using two frames per second undercrank in conjuction with 350.0 degree Syncro Scan Shutter allows you to really brighten up a still shot. There was very little light. Unlike standard time lapse, this gives quick motion a blur or streaking effect while a slow moving background remains focused. Overnight news videographers could avoid resorting to the grainy 12 or even 18db gain as long as there is no movement. A one minute shot runs about six seconds. I used an edited scene file setting not available under regular the menu.

Looks great, can't wait to try it, which and how much record are you able to record on your P2 card?

thanks

Record times vary but basically I have (2) 16 GB cards. In HD I can record 34 minutes, 69 minutes natively. I also have a P2 store holding roughly an hour and 20 minutes of footage.

@ziocody how do you get the P2 to last so long though? Im sure this entire lapse took more than 34 min

[ziocody]

@SpahrStudios your P2 cam has ability to overcrank & undercrank. The basic difference is when overcranked the cam operates faster than realtime producing slowmotion video. It also eats up card space, so instead of the 34mins you would get less than 15mins of realtime action. In this video I used undercrank a.k.a. timelapse. The cam operates slower than realtime where everything captured plays back in fast motion. Now card space is hardly an issue and you end up being able to roll for hours

Hi there, I need to shoot a time laps shoot with this camera, Is it possible to record 2 fps on Mini dv with this camera?

[ziocody]

Simply wont work with DV. At 2fps your recording time is drawn out dramatically so you could invest in a small card like 4GB. They will run less than $200 on ebay and you can use them over and over. Worth the investment!

[matthewTpeet]

is there any way to get a canon xh-a1s to shoot 2FPS? if so, how would i do this?

[HDCAMAN]

Great video - well done

[SpahrStudios]

@ziocody so is Undercranking a setting or is it just putting the FPS at the lowest rate possible?

[cameraperson]

nice work. I'm an op in DC at Wttg. That's a nice rig!
