a trip to Breivik

A camcorder and some time off = a trip to Breivik. This short experimental film is a test of both the cinematic aspect ratio 2.40:1 as well as a practice of picture compositions. It was shot on June 25. 2008 at my grandparents house in Breivik, Hommersåk, Norway with my Sony HVR-A1E camcorder. Enjoy!

fin video:)

Jeg vil vite hvordan du lagrer filmen i 2,40:1?

Jeg har Final Cut Express, hvilket program bruker du?

Jeg har også en Sony HVR a1e kamera.

Takker.

Jeg gjør det den enkle måten ved å lage et prosjekt i 16:9 og så legger jeg oppå svarte streker oppe og nede på bildet (og bruker mattematikk for å finne aspect ratioen). På denne måten slipper jeg aspect ratio-feil når jeg brenner til DVD (denne filmen ble forøvrig lastet opp i 4:3 da den er så gammel at youtube ikke hadde 16:9).

Jeg bruker Sony Vegas Pro 8.1, men starter på Universitetet nå neste uke og vil nok da måtte gå over til Final Cut tenker jeg.

The picture seams very soft and film-looking. First I tought it was shot with a dof-adapter. I have exactly the same model of camera, and I can certainly say that I have newer seen anything such "filmic" as this video done with that camera. How do you set the camera for this kind of look? How mutch of it is made in post?

[JoakimHauge]

Thanks for kind words. Actually I didn't do anything in post for this video. I made this video when I first got the camera and I hadn't so much experience with video image post production at that time. I just set the "cinematone gamma 2" feature on. I also used the optical zoom on some shots. The most important clue to obtain film-look on video is to have a wide open iris (2.8) and change the exposure with the shutter, also use the optical zoom.

Did you use any depth of field lens adapters? please reply.

[JoakimHauge]

No, I only used the the camera lens, no adapters nor conversion lenses.

Great video!

I am thinking of buying a Sony HVR-A1E.

I am going to use it for webproduction.

The high quality video mode of your video has excellent quality. How big was that file?

Is it compressed to flash video?

Would you recommend this camera?

Would very much appreciate a fast answer.
