'Journey' - Panasonic DVX-100 Short Film

*REMEMBER TO CHOOSE 480P (HIGHER QUALITY)*
Just a short film I made, not about much really, was more of a test of the camera than anything else. The shots ending up making a somewhat vague story, or as many have said, an anti smoking ad, haha.
The song is 'From West Texas' by the band 'Explosions in the Sky'.
I in no way own the song or the rights to it.

can record this camera in hd with 30p?

[marshallbanana]

@DragonWolfHeart fraid not man! otherwise I would've done that haha!

[goshhyss]

did you use an adapter? and also what lens? some of the footage has nice DOF.

[marshallbanana]

@goshhyss nah the camera has a leica lens fixed to it haha :) yeah i really didnt expect it to have such nice dof. I shoot all my stuff on a dslr now but sometimes i look at this footage again and it looks really good, uncomparable!

Is this the 100B? I'm thinking about dropping some dough on a 100A and am wondering if its worth it

[marshallbanana]

@maxpower789z this was the A, its such a nice camera, definately worth it! I use a DSLR which shoots 1080p video these days, but you still can't compare it to the great look of this lens and even that somewhat analogue feel of tape :) definitely get it!

the problem I have always had with my dvx is low light. when in full sun the contrast and colors are great. I'm getting a canon 550d because it's cheaper than new Panasonic and actually can take better looking video, with greater depth of field, and has a choice of different lenses.

Simply Beautiful. The resemblance to film is remarkable. It's like film mutated into video.

@DragonWolfHeart sorry didnt think about what I was saying. yes it can. i filmed in 24 fps for the cinematic look

[ZAKISGOOD]

beautifully done man

@marshallbanana what kind of editing software do you have? I just bought this camera and I don't think Premiere Elements 3.0 is gonna cut it anymore

music = friday night lights?

you can not record hd in panasonic dvx 100

I liked it a lot. i shoot with a DVX100a and have a hard time parting with it. I tell those who seem stuck on the latest technology, 'hell, it looks so much like film, why put out big bucks every couple of years for the latest when the DVX emulates film big time.' Oh well - I'll probably cave soon :) Seriously though - great job.

For HD uploads make the file 1920x1080 for squeeze mode I recommend 1280x720. QT h.264, quality best, ACC 320bit rate audio, very important to de-interlace source video. Or else you'll have jagged sharpening. It'll ruin your video. I use the LA7200 anamorphic which makes the camera native 16x9. Great video, great camera!!!

i hope to get this!
