Our test film “Thornwood Park”

“For Mac Folks you should think about posting a Quicktime movie file using the H264 codec.” I’ll have to give this a try. I’ve been using Sorenson 3. Maybe that’s the problem.

I like your film, especially the swing shot! Entertaining, without any plot. Nice work for just testing the cam.
Did you shoot on P2 cards or Firestore? Which NLE did you use (Premiere pro, Vegas, obviously not FCP -> WMV). Did you use the raylight codec?

I shot this in standard Def at 30p. I didn’t even purchase any P2 cards because I don’t deliver anything in HD at this time. I can wait on the HD stuff until I decide to do a real film.

I edit on Leitch/Harris Velocity and used After Effects for the titles.

Thanks for the comments!

Funny stuff. Just a comment about .wmv becoming the standard – I used to think this too. Quicktimes using h.264 are WAY better than .wmv’s at ANY size. It’s not even close. Plus the files are usually smaller.

Use Quicktime Pro to export your files for the web – works great and everyone can see them – Mac or PC.
