Technical criticism appears irrelevant as you are clearly using film in a different way.
Any work in post or is the look of the film totally from the camera? |
Hi Mark,
thanks: just watched your exploits in wonderful Wales!
like the way you use a lens - like the approach
there's a lot of post production on the web videos, because i had to edit the longer movies down to 9-10 minutes, for upload; but most of what you see is what the camera saw: Canon 814 for Avebury, and Nizo S800 / Fujica Z-2 for Ridgeway > hardware off the bay - all the shops have gone :o The Nizo has a built-in lap dissolve (which has now stopped working), but the simpler Z-2 has manual lap dissolve, so that effect is still in business, as i start to move more towards Single 8 format
ciné-to-dv is expensive - or tricky, if you do it yourself. commercial results are 'perfect', i should think - with the latest technology - but i have experienced indifferent pro transfers, in the past. at length, i prefer to do it myself, because i value the home-made effect: and it's actually more fun than trauma, at the end of the day - just! [lol]
thanks again for your kind comment
