This video has sadly become a Requiem for the beautiful forest you see here. It was destroyed in the Station Fire of August-September 2009.

This is test footage I shot with the Sony HDR-FX1. I was going for a soft, moody, fantasy look. Used cineframe 30, a slow shutter speed (1/60th) and turned down the pixel sharpness as far as it would go.

A lot of Color Correction here done in Final Cut Pro.

Shot just north of LA in the San Gabriel mountains along the Angeles Crest Road. I got lucky with the low clouds and mist.

The music is from "The Village" by James Newton Howard and "1492" by Vangelis.

  • Beautiful music (but stolen from The Village). Realy good start, some good shots, but shoot nature and not a dog or woman. They mean something for you. Not for us.

    Have you seen the film, from which is this music?

  • @CajkaCZ what odd comments- this is not a film - there is no meaning - it's just a camera test like the title explains.

  • do you recommend this camera ?? am thinking of getting one

  • @yousygirl It's hard to recommend it the fx1 with the new generation of cameras coming out nowadays. I am all about the Canon 5D mark II SLR these days. But it's still a nice camcorder if you can get a great deal on it used.

  • @PocketElectronic

    No. I'm calm:). I just wanted to advise

  • @CajkaCZ Wow you're rude.

  • great video pal, I love everything about audiovisual stuff

  • @CajkaCZ hey...another time when you watch a video...

    TRY TO READ THE TITLE

  • Its awesome how such a small camera gives such a filmic look. I have a DVX which I love but the FX 1, whilst I've never used itm gives a such a great film look, its lovely.

    What aspect ratio is this video in? And What is cineframe?

    Cheers.
