i see some vignetting at the sunset video, why did that happen?

[sean90291]

Because I didn't set the M2 up properly: I didn't zoom in far enough. There seems to always be SOME vignetting with the HV20+M2, but this footage is not indiciative of proper set-up. You should use an external monitor, since the HV20's LCD does overscan, and therefore doesn't show you the full image. You need to see the full image to ensure you have zoomed in far enough past the vignetting.

Awesome footage! May I ask what lenses you used? I have just ordered my HV20 and am looking to purchase the M2 as well. Thanks.

Nikkor 180 2.8. Nikkor 50 1.4.

did you do any color correcting on this?

[sean90291]

Minor CC, yes.

RED one camera will, it has a 35mm CCD and uses 35mm lenses.

Ok "kid" let me school you in your elementary knowledge. Achieving a very SMALL DOF look is done with APERTURE... since you probably don't know what an aperture or Fstop is you should read up. DOF is created with a LOW aperture ie.. F3.2. You can set a low F# and use a ND filter so the picture isn't over-blown.. .. As I stated before "lol boy you really know what you're talking about.

[AdmirSarajevo]

your backfocus is not correct

[SchutMeNow]

price?

Your words are also true. Of course, it will look better with a 35mm adapter. I just bought a Letus 35mm to finish this project of mine. HD and 35mm adapter are the best things in video production. It's hard to picture the field without them. However, it's not the end of the world if you don't have a 35mm adapter. You can still manage to achieve a decent dof production without one.

Not even the 2/3" sensors on expensives cameras (nor Red one camera 17.500$) will deliver the same DOF of a 35mm camera. Zooming in, changing the aperture sounds good,but it's not the best solution. The cheapest way is to buy/build an DOF adapter! Nobody says you can't win a film festival if you're not using the hv20. Not all of us has the luxury to spend 17.500 on a camera. Be creative!

The Canon 350D has a 1.6x crop factor. It won't achieve the same DOF of a fullframe camera because the sensor is smaller. The DOF ability of the lens will always be the same. It's all about the sensor's camera. You will say that DOF it's a property of the lens. It's true. The problem is how the image will be recorded. Large format cameras will deliver different DOF than 35mm cameras in the final image, no matter the DOF of the lens will always be the same!

Oh now I understand...you must be a clown to be talking to a director about camera terms. The comment I left about the hv20 was for the individuals who does not realize the full functionality of their device, thus, it was blunt so to speak. What have you accomplish lately? A few home videos of yourself? lol I've done a lot more and have more experience in the film industry to know "what I'm talking about". Stop trying to make yourself sound vital by cut and pasting info you copied off the web.

it makes it look like film

that's why i like it

[ferreti9]

Listen kid, I'll be posting a few new videos to show how it's possible. I just hate going through the trouble without a 35mm adapter.
