Dofadapter Videos

I took half of this one down by the river in Perth, Western Australia, and the other at a local park in Northbridge. The morning was so still, and the sky so perfectly blue that the colours just seemed to pop. It's just hitting winter here and hence everything is changing colour and crisping up making for some lovely shooting conditions. The footage isn't that unique or particularly exciting, but the image quality just floors me. To think that this is a AU$1200 camcorder using 'old' miniDV technology. With my DOF adapter kit now pretty much complete (shrigg rig arrives this week) this is my first video that I think finally does justice just how amazing the HV30 can be when used with a DOF adapter, great lens and a m*therf*cking brilliant tripod. Last week I bought a wide angle 28mm f2.8 AIS Nikkor lens (thanks Matt for the suggestion) and hence I thought it only right to give it a go with my new tripod: a Manfrotto 701HDV head with 755XB legs. OH MY GOD it's good to have completely shake free footage for once. I'm using a twoneil plus (ie with an achromat) which I wholeheartedly recommend. The achromat really seems to clean up the edges of the picture, no warping, very little vignetting, and overall a much sharper picture. Just for the hey I took the camera out of 25fps and didn't use cinemode for once. Instead I used the standard HDV50i and shutter priority set at 125. I actually think the result is a much crisper and vibrant image. Of course it's not quite as soft and "movie" like. Hope you like it!

Some spare footage I had lying around from a recent trip to the North island of New Zealand. These were taken on Christmas Day 2008 on the "back beach" of New Plymouth. The sand, as you can see, is jet black and the colours of the sunset lent a prehistoric ambience to the scene. Some shots are too long I know, but I just couldn't bring myself to cut them. No colour correction has been used and all shots are taken with the support of my trusty monopod. There are a few where you can see the pattern of the focusing glass. That was purely user error; I accidentally bumped the aperture ring down to about f8 and didn't notice until halfway through shooting. I have yet to perfect the art of exporting video from FCP. I still get a washed out colour (the original looks 10 times better) and strange colour grading where the edges go dark. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! I import in at HDV50i (PAL) and export as a quicktime .mov file using Compressor at these settings (the screengrabs): hv20.com/showthread.php?t=8085 What am I doing wrong? My first video: vimeo.com/2186843 looks perfect. I have no idea how that one can turn out so well, and every video since suffers from washed out colour when exporting.
