Guest lumisphere Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I know you've heard this before. Film like images achieved on low end HD cameras. But here is the proof. I shot a short as a test for a feature film called "WINTER". The camera captures some amazing snow. The blacks are nice and clean. I had to under expose a bit so the highlight doesn't blow out. You can also see the the highlight blow out when it got sunny. So I always made sure that the sun backlit the objects so it's not that harsh. >>>> WATCH TEST (short film) <<<< I just finished the feature film finally with this camera (all snow). I'm very happy with the way it captures the light in dark situations. Here is a frame sample. You can see on the frame grabs, I exposed for the hard light hitting the snow to achieve film-noir images. I works well. If I exposed for the shadow, the image would have looked like a home video. Enjoy.... >>>> VIEW FRAME GRABS on pdf (feature film) <<<< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Jason Debus Posted May 24, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted May 24, 2007 If your going for something film-like you should deinterlace. What you posted looks very video-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the motion that bothers you cuz that's just the test film. I shot the feature 24PA (1080i) so it should be true 24 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heng Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Agreed. But other than your minor interlacing/motion problem the film looks brilliant! great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Hudson Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) You can't shoot 1080i and 24p It is either 1080i or 1080 24p / 24pa Keep in mind, deniterlacing will result in half a resolution loss Nevertheless, it looks very nicely done.

Graeme Nattress Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 If it's shot 1080i, 24p with 3:2 pulldown, then the pulldown should be removed before you edit the footage. Do not de-interlace! If you remove pulldown you get back to the 24p frames and all should look fine. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
