Zedrush Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi guys, took up a new hobby about 4 months ago, wanted to get into filming as an extension to graphic design and marketing portfolio, never realised it would be so hard. Spent a month learning an editing software Final cut pro and then bought a camera 2 months ago canon Xh-a1 but only got round yesterday to use it for the first time. Taken a one day lesson in lighting so am a complete beginner. Mum got me a Mac Pro 8 core and two apple monitors for xmas so finally had a decent machine to work on. This is my first real go so not fantastic but I will get there eventually, really just learning the camera and messing about with it. The guy is one of my fighters, he was bored so told him to come along whilst I did some quick shooting. Was absolutely freezing yesterday. Did this all in about an hour from shoot to edit then took another 40mins to upload. Hopefully i will get better so I can do some cool filming of your cars at a meet. Here is the clip: http://vimeo.com/2659675 Heres some pics of my set up: Buying a 35mm adapter next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev-the-Rev Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 It's actually very good Jay. I was expecting lots of camera shake and crappy background music but it was quite professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedrush Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 looks good jay...amazing what some time spent and the right equipment can net you! Thanks Adam, have spent a fortune on equipment so far, really into it, just purchased a 35mm adapter so can mess about with depth of field to get more film look. Hardest thing im trying to get my head around since need to purchase some 35m lenses mainly nikons, is what focal length and apature is. Have a rough idea but still confused in some areas, if anyone can shed any light on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Not complicated really. The pinhole camera model describes the mathematical relationship between the coordinates of a 3D point and its projection onto the image plane of an ideal pinhole camera, where the camera aperture is described as a point and no lenses are used to focus light. ...
