Stu Maschwitz (author of The DV Rebel’s Guide) post on his blog the other day a trailer for a short film by Ayyaz Waraich (judging by the name, I think he’s Muslim) titled “White Red Panic.”
What do I mean by “filming totally naked”? The trailer above was shot with a “naked” Canon HV20…
…without any special 35MM lens attachments or gizmos. Just your simple $600 camera.
It’s amazing what sort of results keeping to simple principals of video, photo, lighting, sound, and editing can get you.
Personally I’m looking to get the Canon HF100.
It’s similar to to the HV20 in price and features, except that instead of recording to tape in HDV, it records to SDHC flash media in AVCHD (compressed high definition) format. Personally I hate tape and the time it takes to transfer.
FreshDV had a post the other day talking about how to get crane or dolly like shots on the cheap.
