what is the music used ni this video?

[TheLeavingkind]

@TheLegendsx it's from the soundtrack of "the pianist" by roman polanski. with Adrian Brody as leading actor. great picture....! catch if possible!

[TheLeavingkind]

well, I edited it in fcp. DV transfering into HD? what would be the sense of that? DV is 768 x 576 and Full HD is 1920 x 1080. to transfer that would mean to pump up the stuff.... would look like shit! this is the digitilized original material. just caputered the stuff from tape, cut out some crap, put some music in and done.... the vid was just to show what material you get quick and dirty from that cam...! and anyway... scanning/onlining for a 2min youtube-flic? who would do that?

you can get better results with canon 5d mark 2

[TheLeavingkind]

@brunocrazymuffins that's totally true. it's wired, that you can get a better result with an DSLR HD-Camera than with an 8 year old DV-camera-model wich records on mini-DV-Tape, issn't it? thank's for your great comment!

really awesome footage you have there ;) just wondering what were the settings in the xl2, since you said there was no colour correction ;) its just i'm going to shot a commercial for my college and this was the type of colours i wanted to obtain! If you can i would really appreciate the help

[TheLeavingkind]

@Kr1m1nalZzZ first of all: the light (early morning hours in summer) plays an important role here for the colours. what you can do to get a warmer look on your original footage if you don`t have this kind of light-situation is the setting of your white-balance. put a slightly blue folie abouve your white you use for the white balance = the picture will get a warmer look, with a red foile it will get a colder look! the best: original white from the set and do the look in post!!!

I'm hoping to save up for a XL2, cos I can't afford the HD equlivent, but own a Xm2, love this video and it's making me more excited to use the XL2 :)

@brunocrazymuffins raw files  as in the tapes :P

[brunocrazymuffins]

@TheLeavingkind Just a question how did you edit it all :) And well maybe you could of got better result by transferring in to at HD format ? no ? like transferring photo film 32mm on a scanner the more dpi the better =D but then there isnt nothing like the original :) to be honest i would love to see the raw files from the camera =)
