The Sony
FX-1 consumer camera |
 |
- These images were shot by David Arendt
and Francoise
Bour in Luxembourg using an FX-1 from Sony. If you wish to link to this page, that
is fine, but you may not copy these images for placement on
your own pages. You may not link directly to the images.
-
- These files are raw HDV files in m2t format.
Some NLE systems will allow you to drop m2t files directly on
the timeline; others won't. Cineform has a demo/trial of their
famous intermediary tools for Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere.
Lumiere has a demo for their intermediary for Final Cut Pro.
- Download these files, and use the
Cineform or Lumiere tool
to convert them so that you'll be able to render/edit/experiment
with these files. You might be able to convert them to an
editable format using Huffyuv as well.
- Keep in mind, unless you are viewing this
footage on a 1900 x 1200 monitor, you aren't seeing the full
value of the information and your system may be creating
artifacts in the scaling of the images.

| In this floating
mallard shot, notice the shift in the greens isn't smeary at
all? Pay close attention to the shadow in the water as opposed
to the duck itself. Watch for aliasing (or a lack of aliasing)
in the shadow's sharp edge. (47MB) |

| Look at the
mosquito on the leaf, notice the change in irridescence as the
light shifts. Look closely for macroblocking in the straight
lines as the light shifts. (I
can't see any on a Premiere Luma monitor, but perhaps someone
else can) (83MB) |

| The detail in the
ruffling feathers here is what you want to pay attention to if
you're looking for gross detail. Try using a pan/crop or zoom
tool to check out the resolution of the feathers at double the
resolution. (67MB) |

| Check out the DOF
(Depth of field) and how shallow it can be with this camera.
If there will be problems with the footage, you'll see it in
the water and the similar colored greenery where the water and
the greenery coincide. (51MB) |
