Hey Jay,
Just looked at your website, the film looks fantastic. Going to put it on my holiday wish list.
Have you done any interviews on the “making of”? I’d love to hear your story, think many others would too.

Chris,
Can you post the workflow details? I’m finally between projects & ready to upgrade to 6.0.1, would love use this as my workflow with the A1. I would imagine that grading in Prores probably makes this cam even that much more incredible.

I subclip all the time, changed the command from apple U to just U so it goes quicker.
Only minor annoyance – if you have to go to STP with a subclip, it brings in the whole master clip, and then STP gets so bogged down that it becomes unmanageable to use.
In these instances, I just recapture the area I need to send to STP as a small master clip.

Hi Jan,
Hope you are well. Nice to see you here.
You chose the wrong example for me with WD. If spinup and drive failure problems are a thing of the past, it sure hasn’t trickled down to them, and I have a pile of dead fw drives to prove it. As for DVD, I think that’s insanity. I just lost some business cards from a few years ago stored on dvd. The three discs store next to it were perfectly fine. Luck of the draw. Anyone who trusts camera original footage to a shiny disc is playing Russian roulette.
Fact is, Canon hdv edits great on a g5 quad, no different than dv, and side by side picture comparisons of the A1 & HVX are very, very close. Asking people to pony up for a DLT, particularly solo operators like me, not to mention the entry level indie film people who don’t even work in the industry, just to go with a panasonic cam is not realistic.
So please, either come out with an affordable Panasonic dlt for us little guys, or at the very least consider going to work for Canon:) You’re a much greater asset to Pana than P2!

They may not announce it at this NAB, but octo cores are certainly on the horizon. Saw a presentation by someone who had played with an hp octo, I believe, he was blown away, as expected. Everything has its own fan – the ram, the video card. Dual video cards, some ridiculous RAM capacity. It will be a monster, for sure.

Canon’s proprietary 24f is a pain, but none of their competitors seem too interested in making a deck for them 🙂 Their solution, the HV10 and now HV20, is pretty good, but it falls apart in situations like yours, where you need to integrate with other manufacturer’s hardware. The V1 is certainly no slouch, doubt you’ll be disappointed.

Wayne, take a look at the Canon A1, I chose it over the V1. The image goes toe to toe with the hvx, and I’m a long time panasonic fan. I could not agree with you more about the long term storage issues regarding P2, it was a deal breaker for me with the hvx. Panasonic has said that they recognize this is a major issue, and are working on affordable, relaible hardware storage solutions. We’ll see what they come up with, but in the meantime, in a couple of years, people are going to be crying their eyes out about lost footage stored on a .29 cent shiny disc that’s gone south or a fw drive that won’t spin up.

I’m gonna buy two – one to edit cutting edge podcasts, and the other to power the holodeck I’m building in my spare bedroom.
