OK, I’m in NY now with the Varicam latest firmware upgrade. Thanks a lot to Steve Mahrer for all his great help and friendship !!. What a great guy. The Panasonic facilty is awesome. And his future plans looks great.
About the huge projection, it was on the biggest screen of my country and it looked truly amazing !!!!. Resolution was incredible. The filmout process was done by Efilm in L.A. The color wasn’t really what I was looking at my monitor but the test was really a sucess. Everything looked sharp, wide shoots, medium shoots and there’s a close up where everybody in the room said wow !!!.
Besides the model was one of the most beatiful girls over there.
Everybody who’s having doubts about doing stuffs with the Varicam for filmout, please I encourage you to do it !!. The footage looked really, really great and very film like.
The process i used was quite simple and the uprez to 1080 was using the Panasonic Frame Rate converter. Color correction under Final Cut Pro monitoring on a PVM20L5/1 monitor. The card was a Cinewave HD on a dual G4 who handled it perfectly !!. Lenses where a Fujinon HAf Prime lens set and a Fujinon zoom.
Best regards to all.
