HDV Wedding Demo To Show HDTV quality
I shot this wedding Dec 3 with a Z1 and FX1 in HDV. I cut it in HDV then tranfered it to DVCPRO HD 720 and added the titles. Then I exported it as a Sorenson 3 for the web.

some very pretty shots Douglas. Did you tweak the aspect ratio for the web version? Stage performances are going to be outsatnding with that setup.
How will you deliver to the client?

Thanks Peter,
“Did you tweak the aspect ratio for the web version?”
Yes, I first converted to DVCPRO HD square pixels at 1280X720 to show right out of my PowerBook to an HD 720 monitor to show it at Bridal Shows. It looks even better than the 1080i HDV right out of FCP5. I guess that the computer can keep up with it better in the DVCPRO HD format. I use a 1 Ghrz DP G4 with 1 GB RAM to edit and 1.33 Ghz with 512 RAM laptop to demo it.
I took the DVCPRO HD file and converted it with Sorenson 3 preset but I think that I half the size.“Stage performances are going to be outsatnding with that setup.”
I have used it, but sometimes you can see compression blocks on dark flat areas.
“How will you deliver to the client?”
That is why I started testing ways to deliver it since their is not an HD DVD still. I think that if someone contracts me to do an HD wedding the won’t mind using their computers to connect to an HD TV untill there is a delivery system.

compression blocks in the dark flat areas? You mean compression blocks on tape? can you just lower the pedestal in the camera and crush the blacks a little? or fix it in your NLE?

Yes it is mpg2 and just like on a DVD you get them sometimes. It has been reported on other cameras too. I can’t remember if I read it on the DV net JVC or Canon. It is not only on the dark, I had artifact on a reflective silver curtain background.

I think your works are great, just a little point, 150+ MB for web download is a little too much for average users.

Douglas – is it feasible to import your HD footage onto an SD timeline and just crop to SD res? So that an HD clip of a couple facing one another could appear on an SD timeline as two separate full SD res clips each containing just one person? That’s where I see an immediate place for HD in my work. To be able to leave an HD camera unattended on wide and then just choose the shot in post.

The image of 1080i is about 2X the 480i DV so yes you can zoom in.
What is important to note is that you can shoot HDV transfer to a format that would be easy to edit and make an SD DVD and get a much better image than with DV to DVD.Douglas Villalba
