Canon HV30 Third Time Test (Indoors) (Final Test) (HD)

This is my third and final video test. This was basically just to see how the exposure lock trick works and how the HV30 films indoors with low light. Yeah, I know it's really short and pointless (I'm not a big fan of it either), but like I said, it's simply to just test how the camera works indoors.

Since this is the final test, the rest of my videos will have some kind of a point or will have a storyline. I will have more tests, but no more camera tests. These tests can be from muzzle flashes to advanced car hits to war scenes.

Shot in 24p, Tv Mode 1/60 shutter using "Custom" Image Effect set to -1 Colour Depth and -1 Contrast.

Edited with Sony Vegas Pro 8.

Colour corrected with Magic Bullet Looks using the "Basic Warm" preset. In very low light, I messed with the contrast settings a little to get a better picture.

Music Used:

Sigur Rós - Glósóli.

Note: To those who wonder how I did the exposure lock trick, I used the camera light and came very close to a wall in a room with low light. Then, I kept moving back until it dropped to about f2.2, which actually drops to f2.0 because the aperture changes really fast. Then, I moved the slider up to get f1.8. And that's basically how I did the exposure lock trick to remove gain.

As of now, I gladly accept any ideas for a short film or a summary of something that I can make.

I have the the same question as Aknightwhosezni.

But I really like your videos, I'm getting an HV30 pretty soon, and you're doing a good job of convincing me. Thanks =]

Hey thanks for commenting. I don't use a dof adapter for it's very expensive. I just use manual focus. Thats all.

[Aknightwhosezni]

wow, all I can say is that is awesome... Do you have a 35mm adapter for DoF? if not, what do you use, and how to you have such amazing focus? the 2something inch screen on my hv20 isn't enough for me to focus (to my ridiculously high standard).

hi there.

could you tell me the programm and settings you are working with. i read in your other videos that someone asked that already and you answered to look on youtube but there are only tutorials for sony vegas.

i have a hv30 too and i recently shot a short film and now i try to figure out the best way of exporting and your video seems pretty awesome - so it would be really nice if you could help me out.

thanks!
