The Film Look Effect (Part 3 of 3) - Kodak Zi8 HD (720p)

Video footage was shot on a Kodak Zi8 pocket camcorder

• Footage recorded at 720p/60fps
• Converted footage in MPEG Streamclip for native FCE settings (Apple Intemerdiate codec)
• Edited the footage in (FCE) Final Cut Express 4.
• I used four filters in FCE
• 1st filter - RGB Gamma: Red (1), Green (1.10), Blue (1.10)
• 2nd filter - Proc Amp: Setup (-0.15), Video (-1), Chroma (0.95), Phase (0) ---- duplicate this filter (copy and paste)
• 3rd filter - Gaussian Blur: Radial (0.5)
• 4th filter - Widescreen: Type (2.35:1), Offset (+ - or 0)

@ppitstop38 - You are welcome.

is this cam recommendable for little short films? is it possible to eliminate all the shaking with a tripod?

[bigdmia]

@LuekalanunFerdalan - I have actually seen a couple of music videos and short films online, shot entirely on a Kodak Zi8. And there were quite impressive. And yes, it is possible to eliminate the "shakes" with a tripod, preferably a fluid-head tripod if you need smooth pans and tilts as well. I would recommend a “stedi-cam” for small camcorders, which are now a dime a dozen, and decent lighting for poorly lit areas and night shots. I hope the info helps.
