I am in the market for a proffesional HD camcorder. I am planning a serious project when I get back from overseas and wanted some input, if any one has the same interest. Please fill me in. I am plan on doing a short feature film with my nsx and wanted the best possible image, sound and quality as if it was done with a full production crew with the best equipment. Photography will be done along with the feature NSX film using a Nikon D300 with all the bells and whistle upgrades etc. I have all these editing ideas and images of how I want to do this and I need to get my vision on camera. Any suggestions on what you would do would be appreciated. I feel the videos I see with NSX's are cool but nothing that motivates me to watch over and over and have the wow factor of O SH#T that was bad ass. The closest I have seen was done with JP Studios (CHarlies widebody NSX) and PHUSHIZZLES vids. Not trying to criticize there work which I like what they have done but the best editing coordination goes to Phu, quality of picture goes to JP Studios. I have also got ideas from www.supercarmovies.com com. and have talked with other short film makers online. Check out this site of the Pagani Zonda, the Koeniggsseg etc (www.supercarmovies.com). The quality, background and production score is top notch. I would like to do this with NSX's so I can get my vision and creativity on film.
Here is what I have found so far:
Canon DM-XL2 Mini DV Camcorder
Panasonic AG-HVX200 Mini DV Camcorder
My favorite so far:
Canon XL H1 HD Camcorder
Any other recommendations as to camcorders I would also apreciate. I plan on shooting between Aug and Oct. I will also be traveling in different places, SEATTLE, Cali, Hawaii, DUBAI, KUWAIT, NYC, Las Vegas and possibly Florida.
I wil obtain suction car mounts, in car mounts, towers, lifting and rotating video crane. I just need th cameras.
I am just trying to get all the equipment ready and then proceed on with this project.
Thanks Gil
Programs I have many of them, Pinnacle Studio Plus, Adobe, etc I have about 7 different programs I will utilize to get the best scenerio effects and transitions.
