My Father's Ghost: Episode 1

Actually, it's just a special FX test that I wanted to show my kids but added the sound and color correction to make it more presentable. It was the first time I attempted the "Soul Sucking" special effect from the Video Copilot tutorial so I'm not too happy with the result but I know I'll do better next time. Plus, I rushed it so I wouldn't bore my kids. I forgot to lock the exposure so it blips, but whatever. We did it after dinner before the kids shower, so what can ya do?!?

Shot with a Canon HV20 with the Twoneil 35mmPro (My new TwoneilHD and Twoneil Plus are on the way!). FX done in After Effects CS3 and edited in Premiere CS3.

Music: "Vampier" written and performed by Caged Nest (my band when I was 15-19 yrs. old)

what do u recommend the vibrating one or the one ur getting? I heard of the jello effect bbut idk what that is

[starsonproductions]

I ended up getting the TwoneilHD Plus which, so far in my experience, has the sharpest image quality as far as DIY 35mm adapters go. Even without the vibration. There is a slight jello effect where as when you pan left or right, you can see the image warble... kinda like when you hold a pencil at it's end and wiggle it, it looks like it's bending. The only thing I've seen look better are the actual lens adapters like the Letus or Brevis adapters.

@starsonproductions so either way u get the jello effect then? So it would be best to get the vibrating one to not get a dirty lens as well.....right?

[starsonproductions]

Yes, that's correct... jello either way:S Definitely a vibrating one will minimuz dust appearance.

[starsonproductions]

I would still get the Twoneil HD Plus over a vibrating one though...

what did you use to color correct
