LOL Glidecam you say .. i was the first and only canadian Distributor for Glidecam industry .. Sold my rig about 3 years ago.

glidecam has some a nice vest and sled now .. but get yourself a 3A arm, if you want to keep the cost down ... and still have a double elbowed arm, way better the the Glidecam gold series.

This next pic is a V20 stock

The steadicam rig you asked about in the pic above is a Cine Ultra (first generation)

Didn't say the Z1 was amateur, stop trying to confuse people who might be reading this. Nice try though. Didn't even mention the z1 anyone in here except the imdb listing.

No, the Cinematographer and DOP choose the cameras.
Directors can whine all they wish but it's not their call.


Guessing you've never been on a set before.

Maybe try this board a bit:

It's more helpful then dvxuser.com

http://dvinfo.net

It's where us "MR. Professionals" hang out.
Owner of BHPhoto (Herman) posts there as well.

I think it's time you start reading buddy. :thumbsup

Arri mattebox? :question

If your a big pro why be a big show off? I dont claim to know everything, I did make mistake about your talking about the z1 im sorry. Why not come on here give advice be a positive force. Then criticizing people's equipment. I dont know everything and im always looking to learn more.You want to use me to prop yourself up feel free.

Pretty nice setup :thumbsup I have no clue about the cameras but those look cool :)

lolol
 

i just noticed that lol

I tend to agree with Tony about JVC's HD cameras .. I've had some experience with them when they first came out some 7 years about and then again for an adult xxx film I directed and shot a few years back ... It was a night mare ...
Here's a link on the subject posted on this very board
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...&highlight=jvc


I don't know the GY-HD110U. However I just glanced over the specs and Tony is right, no 1080i settings are to be found... In reading the specs the camera looks to be a good TV broadcast camera for 720 and offers a 24p in 720 though I can't for the life of me see the need for that setting on such a camera.

According to the DV compression (4:1:1) this is a HDV camera and not a ProHD as they claim.

I did, go look through the forum I just gave you.

Petrov .. arri matte boxes suck .. but that's for another post

hd110u and 1080i


http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hd110u+1080i

Also, factory settings are 60i 60 step shutter at 1080i output.

HEY NOW!:error


Elaborate?
I'm getting a 16X9 Inc Chroziel matte and follow for my jvc.

Also correction on JVC site:


GY-HD110U 720p/1080i/NTSC
http://pro.jvc.com/pro/attributes/MO...c/dtv_app.html

I find them bulky .. Chroziel makes great matte boxes for today's smaller format cameras.

It does it shoot in 4:2:2 ? If its still hdv its weak compared to the hvx.

Sorry to interupt your back and forth with Tony ... But I just have to say this.

This type of responce (see quote below), in my opinion would come from a Grip or 2nd Camera assitant ... not a Pro Cameraman ...
As a producer, He would have the last say on the equipement used. Solely on for the reason that Production Values fall under his and the directors duties.

That is all ...

Unless JVC decided to add 1080 specs on another page ... This camera is 4:1:1

the same as sony DVCAM

Funny thing is JVC was the only company to make a Digital record camera in 4:2:2 back in the DVCam explosion days ( I can't remember the format, but the tapes looked like VHS but were DV/digital record) ... JVC is a Panasonic Company BTW

Thanks for the info V:) Im done

Ditto here Tony .. Time for a jay and it's off to bed

4:2:2

Panasonic just took over JVC.
Within the last 7 months.
That was national news.

I'm not a 2cd co, that's insulting :disgust

This might be gfy, but the most unprofessional thing so far is one pro leading an amatuer to believe he was correct on what he was saying.

Shame on you.

Filming? Thank god.
BTW, everything you said was wrong in this thread, if he wants to pretend to be your buddy and pretend you were correct in anyway shape or form, that's him trying to save you from looking like an idiot.


Good thing I don't come to gfy alot, I'm to busy FILMING.

Must be doing something right after 14 years of this.

ROFLMAO ...

I read the JVC spec page and there was no mention of 1080 60p ... or a 4:2:2 compression ratio .. However it was clear as day, 4:1:1 .... I do appreciate your input in this thread really .... I was just making an observation that that type of responce isn't one an operator would make ... It was irrelevant whether or not mr Eastwood chose that camera on his own accord .. He's an actor with money that hires the right people to make him look good. I doubt very highly that Clint brushed up on his Tech Specs before setting up a budget or script

As he began preparations to make back-to-back films about the historic World War II battle for Iwo Jima—Flags of our Fathers and the upcoming Letters from Iwo Jima—director Clint Eastwood reports that he seriously investigated using high-definition cameras to make the movies. Eastwood had DP Tom Stern’s camera team and HD camera operator Liz Radley conduct a series of tests to compare footage from various HD camera systems with 35mm film footage. At the end of the day, Eastwood chose to continue shooting film as he always has for the project, although he did bring both movies to Technicolor Digital Intermediates (TDI) for the first digital intermediates of his storied career. (See an upcoming issue of Millimeter for a detailed examination of the DI work done on both movies.)

Despite the decision to shoot film, however, Eastwood did decide to include some HDV POV-style footage in both movies for specific creative reasons. He says the overall experience has moved him closer to fully entering the HD acquisition universe.

“I looked at all the [available] digital cameras, and tested them against film to see if the digital age was here completely,” Eastwood recently told Millimeter. “I know, some day, that will be it. But for this project, I felt HD did not hold up quite enough compared to film for the way I wanted it to look. It obviously had some advantages, but I just felt I couldn’t control atmospheres as well—I couldn’t get quite as deep into the blacks as I wanted. So I decided to shoot film. It was almost like they needed to go another millimeter before HD gets to where I want it to be. I’m sure [manufacturers] will get there before long the way things are progressing. They are already so close. But for me anyway, the main advantage I’m looking for is portability—small cameras. Some of the systems we tested were really big. I’m looking for the day they can be as small as [a tape recorder] and still look great on the screen. That’s kind of what I was thinking about when I had the idea of using HD cameras [to capture frenetic battle footage].”

lastly Matsushita has owned both JVC and Panasonic for as long as I can remember ... Matsushita Group currently operates 49 companies in China, with annual turnover reaching approximately 300 billion yen. What you read about some 7 months ago refered to Matsushita diluting holdings in JVC from 52.4% to 36.8%, allowing it to stop treating JVC as a consolidated subsidiary and handle it as an equity-method affiliate. allowing it's other holdings (pana) to pick up the slack. Matsushita has owned JVC since the early 1950s

This was some very simple copy and paste, general information ... .

shame on you Jennings

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

nice pics there! :thumbsup oh... and i love the camera... :)

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...110u+4%3A2%3A2

Live 720/60P analog component output (4:2:2 equivalent)

My responce is I'm annoyed by some idiot trying to profess his love for a consumer camcorder sold at best buy against a camera that even Adam Wilt said was clearly superior. And I know you know who Adam Wilt is.

Oppz ... you proved me wrong .. I guess clint does do his own research ...

"Eastwood had DP Tom Stern’s camera team and HD camera operator Liz Radley conduct a series of tests to compare footage from various HD camera systems with 35mm film footage."

Clint Eastwood didn't do any reasearch.
That's the part tony404 cut out to make it look like he knew what he was talking about. He didnt think anyone would actually click the link and read.



As I said 10 posts ago, DP and camera operator.
Tony, all your doing is making yourself look more idiot with each post.

Panasonic does NOT own JVC and it never has. You said Panasonic owned jvc.

Shame! SHAME!:helpme

nice cammera..and very nicegurls!!!!!!!!!!

Hold up there a second cowboy ...

First off there is a huge difference between 4:2:2 equivalent and 4:2:2 ... Second I never professed my love for this camera. I have it and use it and that was the only point of this thread.
As a professional I do allow myself the opertunity to learn and grow with this industry. I pride myself of being upto date (as much as I can) with the ever changing technology of the broadcast industry.
Had you done a search on this board you would of seen a few things. I for one never claim to know all and usually research my posts before posting them. I also rely strongly on Manfacture Posts and not of DVinfo.net's member based. People using PROSUMER cameras trying to modify them for pro use. No rather I would rent the right Camera for the job, and I still do this to this day ...

Oh and I've not seen eye to eye with Tony on many technical subjects .. but I do Value his opinion and knoweldge, just as I valued yours in this post .. you just decided to stick to irrelevant issues. Who knows maybe you have a Group disscussion complexe ... Use what you use, shoot the way you want to shoot, if it works for you then go with it .. But if you haven't noticed there are alot of people on this board that look for imformative threads such as this one to better they're product ... So if they want to shoot HD content with a Canon HV10 and they're members or clients like they're content, all the power to them .. whom are you to say otherwise .. Oh wait I remember: A professional Close Curcuit Rock show shooter.

I'll chalk this one down to you being tired ... and not reading correctly ... Matsushita has owned both JVC and Panasonic
Hense mastsushita is the PARENT COMPANY ... PARENT as in Owns them all.

nice setup...

I found Adams review on the hvx200
http://www.dv.com/reviews/reviews_it...Id=187202 354
Where his is one on the 110u I would like to read it. Just FYI I get 5 different video mags a month, Im not big pro but I do know how to read.

I gave you the beginning of the article til where they were talking to about hdv I cut nothing out I included the link twice.I have no problem saying im wrong Ive done it a few times in this thread. Try again

I'll let MTV know what you think about them :thumbsup

this will probably be the last thing I write before heading of too bed (As my blunt is just about finnished)

I use this board to Network and find clients. I use thread Banter to promote myself, my experience and my work. So Basicly I'm having a blast right now ... knowing that my one comment has brought you over the top.

the one thing I've loved about this board and posting on it. Is that I always learn something new and these so called "amateurs" sometimes understand a Format, compression, edit platform ...etc better then us pros do ... Call it simplifing to the most common denominator. What ever. I've been able to learn so much on this board.

So rather then take this all in a harch manner. And go to bed pouting and peeved that an amateur might of should you up. Think of this a great learning experience not every one agrees with you and NOT everyone see's a camera as being the Best for them.

Good luck with you're filming and I hope you do come back for another Tech Discussion.

Oh one last thing .. What is it you do again? and why are you posting on this board if your in the mainstream Industry?

ROFLMAO

Umm ? FCC thinks they're cable too

If they are anything like MUCHMUSIC/CHUM in canada .. then my Comment stays warranted. LOL

This is great training for my Seminar at Qwebec Expo conferance this friday



3 pm .. be there.
We're covering " production values " this year
