One of my good friends has a few CD's that are selling great. He is also considered a great jazz musician. Well I was shooting a music video for him and told him he should give fellow filmmakers out there his music for free if he liked their project.. So he told me to go ahead and let you know...

Here is a link I just posted on Google video from a low budget film I am posting.... It is pretty funny.... It was shot in 2000 and the footage was just recovered.... It's pretty low budget. But pretty funny none the less...

posting How do I post a frame of footage up? I see it done all the time. but have no clue how to do it... just give me the quick details and I will post them as I go along...

Light setup You have a pretty good eye there. That is all the lighting I did.. One on the left in the front and the other was high on the right.. you must have done this before... I am still testing out low light shots with the lenses.. Everything looks great outside.. But inside in a...

Wider lenses I put an ad up for some actors.. So I can finally stop shooting just myself.... I do have a 16mm lens, 24mm and a 35mm..... Maybe I will get some time and post next week with those three lenses.... These were just some tests for low light... Some guy absolutely hated the color on...

Link Fixed I don't know what happened .. But the link is fixed now.. Thanks for letting me know...

I shot these using a Nikon 85mm F1.8 and a Nikon 135mm 2.8 lens.. Magic Bullet color correcting only. No 24p Conversion.. I shot it at 720 30p... Shutter 1/30'th F-stop on lenses opened all the way..... I then converted them to WMV files then downconverted those files to the following...

Wide angle vignetting The above clip titled 900 miles has a 35mm lens used with an adapter and no vignetting... You can check for yourself... Edge to edge sharpness... The shot I am refeering to in their is the one of me on the bed with my wife in the background out of focus. I am about 6...

Vignetting I have a 28mm, 16, and a 20mm all 2.8... I will check them out in the next few days.... I have used it with a 3.5 28 before and it worked outside fine.. I never tried it in low light though..... I will try to post some tests up by next weekend......

test shots Yeah I know about the hot key.. I just did a quick setup tp test it out.. I have a soft box but did not use it... I kind of liked the blown out look though, so I left it... I really like the M2 adapter.. It works great in low light.. Hey if you come across any really good footage let...

Here is a divx file of the M2 adapter with a Nikon 85mm 1.8.. I left the lens wide open at 1.8... In a dark room to test out the low light performance.. The Redrock Micro showed virutally no light loss. See for yourself.. I actually should have stopped down the lens to 2.8... But it was just a...

Downconvert The best thing to do would be to shoot HD then down convert to DV... If you have shoot in DV mode only you may as well buy a used DVX100 on Ebay.. You will get a far better image with a 3 chip DV then a 1 chip HDV....

Shoot with whatever you can afford Remember 16mm today is not what it was when I was shooting it.. We had crappy transfers terrible lenses... Today.. 16mm is incredible. You can get pretty close to 35mm quality with super 16... I was just comparing a 1500.00 camera today to 16mm technology of...

Hdrhc1 I shot a test with the Sony HDR HC1.. My freind bought the camera on Ebay for 1500.00... Let me tell you.. This thing is incredible when lit correctly. Use proper lights.. You can get these fluorecent bulbs that cost about 20.00 each and it drapes the image in a nice glow of light with...

Shoot with HDV I would say shoot with the HDV camera at 1080i... Shoot interlace, Use enough light to keep the shutter at 1/60th for NTSC or 1/50 for PAL (you can use the priority mode for this) Shoot on a tripod or other locked down device. The steadier and smoother the camera work, the...

auto exposure Yes. I think auto exposure was on.. I tried to do everything manual.. But I did not bring the book with me.... My next tests will be properly lit with proper exposure.. So check back next month.. I am trying to think of a cool short to shoot...

vignetting not caused by adapter... The vignetting was caused when I color corected it.. It is not in the origanal clips... I don't know why the edges kept getting dark on some of the shots once I cahnged the color channels..... But it was only for testing purposes..

Here is some footage using the JVC HD10U camera and a Letus35 adapter. I used a nikon 100mm 2.8 lens for all shots. There are about 6 movie downloads on the link.. 6 in WMV format and 6 in Divx... All shots shot in 720p 30p and color corected in vegas..... I just shot these for tests. I really...
