Yeah i hear you … these are the times i miss shooting 35mm, getting the colorist to work the green and pull a matte etc. For keyer we’re probably using KeyLight or Primatte thru AfterEffects. i’ve not gotten as clean a key in the FCP (only use it for a rough) as in AE or even Motion with primatte i don’t really use motion that much… more AE it’s just what i’m used to. BTW – I like to keep talent at least 10 feet from the bkg & a little inverse color gel… try 1/4 -1/2 minus Green for green on the backlight really helps keep the spill off. I thought the HPX500 was a great choice for this project and it sounds like you’re getting clean keys using 1080/30p with the 500…

Yeah i get that blur thing!! LOL I’ve shot 24p with fine results before (on the HVX200 in fact) there wont be much motion in this although better safe so it sounds like 30p is the way to go. i’ve also heard that the cine gamma setting is an issue…any thoughs on that?

thx for the feedback…

Yes… i have all the usual suspects. After Effects would be my first choice as i know it best.

Yeah that’s correct… !! I kind of answered my own question.. didn’t really think about that and was looking in the manual… classic case of RTFM!! LOL still waiting for the P2 cards to arrive so i can’t even test the camera fully yet!! Thanks again for the info…!

A bit more complicated than that.. LOL!! We are shooting a commercial on 35mm film, will be transfered to DigiBeta and possibly to some flavor of HD… not decided yet… we may use some of the footage aquired by the HVX but everything for the commercial will be covered by film. We will set up most of the shots we do with the HVX. I really want to take advantage of the vari speed capibilities… the ability to overcrank is one of the things i really like about this camera. The footage will mainly be used for a stand alone piece about what we are doing… shooting the commercial. I will use some of the footage we shoot for the commercial in cutting the piece… here’s how,who and here’s what we did.A bit of vanity for the agency… That said, I’m looking to get the highest resolution out of the images. Any thoughts?? Thanks for your reply!
