Coffee Break

I used a GL2 MiniDV camcorder and a cheap 100W light sat next to the coffee mug. I balanced the white to an orange card so not much was done in post...just added black and a widescreen matte.

did you shoot in 16:9 mode or 4:3 then add a mask?

[tkmslee]

@MarkHong852 it was 16:9 mode and a mask as well.

WOW THAT LOOKS SO GOOD! Wow, i'm so getting a GL2! good job!

[tkmslee]

Good lighting is key. I used lighting for this and then in post took down the blacks a bit and everything really popped.

YES! Someone who has a gl2 and actually has tallent! I'm tired of these dumb people making all these stupid skating videos who have NO tallent at all in terms of film making. And most of them aren't even that good at skating! I'm a film maker and I would kill for a camera like a gl2!

By the way, do you like yours?

[tkmslee]

I have actually upgraded to the XHA1 and I love it. The GL2 was a really nice camera. It has full manual control. Professional lighting is key to get great over all quality.

I love my gl2, thanks for reminding me to shoot with it more often. Did you just use fcp to color correct and stuff?

[CGProduction1]

how do you get that widescreen look?

[AndDenDeyCalledMeTim]

I was wondering what kind of setting/formats for the video you used??? it looks VERY clear! =D

[morningbaum]

hi there , which kind of programme for the lighting did you use in your video? What kind of make over did you use. I´d very much appreciate your advice .

[BrookMorrison]

Yes to all of that.

[morbidtherabbit]

How much did you buy your Xh-A1 for? I want one so badly.

[morbidtherabbit]

Does the canon GL2 have the option of shooting in 16:9 Ratio? I make short films and i want the artistic look of widscreen. I just wanted to know if it can shoot in widescreen and if the camra has imputs for shotgun mikes?

[resettheride]

damn, I can't believe this is on a gl2. I have one and I wish I could get my footage to look that good. What kind of DYI 35mm adapter did you use? how'd you make it?
