  • @Jazzwalker You have a lot of truly cinematic shots, and overall I think the trailer was well done. What lenses did you use?

  • Shot on Moon T7. A submission video for a friend of mine who is going on American Ninja Warrior for a 2nd time. It's set up like a movie trailer parody of "I Am Legend". Critique is widely open. Thanks.

  • I use Drewnet T9 of gf3 test :)

  • @driftwood from what I can tell it seems that high does work in video mode with the moon t7 hack but Idk what to look for. Maybe you could look into this again?

  • @driftwood That T8 test was amazing. A ton of great detail in those waves, but cinematic and smooth as hell. Looking forward to trying that out.

  • @Brumbazz Thank you, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to check it out. The majority of the music came from a gentleman by the name of Scott Hampton. http://www.scotthamptoncomposer.com/ He was excellent to work with.

  • @film3r: Very good stuff, I got really sucked in. I love the end of the world stuff :-)

    How did you make the music for the movie? It really worked wonders.

  • Here is a short film I shot on moonT7. It was for a 24-hr film fest.

    Three coworkers take a weekend shift during a time of great fear. One final chance stands between life as usual and the end of the world. Amid their office banter a report comes through about that last attempt. In a panic they try to leave the office and find themselves trapped. It is only then in the stillness they discover their humanity when faced with utter despair.

  • Sorry, I guess I wrote a bad sentence! I meant that I guess you can't do nearly as much with Drewnet as you can with Moon T7. I just love the quality I can get with Moon T7, and I haven't been able to get that type of quality with anything else I've tried. Looking at some of the Drewnet samples I see here, I think other people are having the same results (not as good as with Moon T7).

    For me it has a lot to do with what the image quality is like once it has been compressed by YouTube. The samples I have tried with Moon T7 look much better on YouTube than the Drewnet does.

  • @Tjabo "I compared the Drewnet T9, and to me it just isn't even in the same league of image quality. Of course, that seems to mean you can't do nearly as much with it, either."

    Why do you say you can't do nearly as much with Moon T7? Do you find it harder to grade?

  • @TATZU Not really you don't have to. Its a Pany attempt at ISO boost/reduction to lift shadows / less bloomy highlights. It actually increases the bitrate by around 5 to 7% in some of my tests and have found that LOW is all that is needed. I don't think High works in Video mode from what I remember. Besides, its much better to get it right in full manual mode. I test it in many of the latest Cluster settings to enable users who like working with it to continue recordings - but remember it adds an extra strain on the processor.

  • @driftwood is there a reason you say to put i. dynamic on low when using moont7?...?...?...?

  • moon T8 would only work with sandisk high speed cards? i wish we had a Moon for poor man's SD cards :\

  • *** NEWS *** moon T8 test. Still refining.

  • @rsquires. I ordered the FD SpeedBooster maybe a day or two after release. I forget where I saw the press release, but I had the money already set aside for when it did.

  • Thanks, I'll give Moon a try then. I guess, I should also detour from the 180 degree rule and use faster shutter, when I know I'm pushing my zoom/support relation in order to make it more recoverable afterwards.

    (I know I'm drifting off topic :-) )

  • @Brumbazz, have you tried Moon T7? It is phenomenal, and everything seems to work better with it, to me at least... I compared the Drewnet T9, and to me it just isn't even in the same league of image quality. Of course, that seems to mean you can't do nearly as much with it, either.

    I am so excited to see what the team might have in store for us with Moon T8. :-)

  • Yes, software stabilizers are based on tracking pixels (or pixel groups) and all Intra is better.

  • So I have a question, that might or might not be related to hack. If I shoot handheld with large zoom I get shake, that's a given. Sometimes however, that's what's possible and a shot can be recovered to some extent using warp stabilizer in Adobe.

    I have been shooting with Drewnet T9 and really like it, I was however wondering if this long GOP will produce images that a less recoverable for post image stabilisation? It seems that the nature of long GOP is based on the assumption that the previous image is similar which it is not in the case of high frequency shake. Therefore will I be better of using Moon and all-intra?

  • still waiting for some Moon T8 news :D

  • @powderbanks When and where did you get the FD speed booster. I have gone to the Metabones site on a bi monthly basis to see if the FD to M4/3 is available and every time the cupboard is bare. I really want to get my hands on one as you are so right when you say it's a low cost way to double your lens collection. Just wish I could get hold of one.

  • @TATZU Well, it's a rough grade for now, nothing final..I've since bumped the saturation a bit, messed with the curves, and added a bit more contrast; but as I said earlier, the bike has a late 70's/early 80's feel to it (most of the parts of the bike are from other motorcycles from that era) so I wanted a grade to match. The music is going to be similarly themed as well. Like I said, the video isn't going to be done until the bike is done, so there's plenty that could change. Having said that, your reaction is pretty much what I was going for, haha.

    As for the SpeedBooster, I really like it. I have the FD version, and since I already have an AE1, I have collected several FD and M42 lenses. It made my 'fisheye' 18mm more usable for skate footage, but didn't give me the extreme distortion as if it were on my AE1; IMO, it's the perfect balance. And for low light, it's hugely helpful as well. I find if I'm shooting indoors, I'm always using the SpeedBooster. Partly because of it's low light boost and also because it makes the slightly longer (50mm+) lenses more usable indoors because of the reduction in crop factor. It doubled my lens options at a fraction of buying that many more lenses; so it's totally worth it.

  • @powderbanks Why did you grade it to look so low quality? In the originals it looks like a nice camera in the graded ones it looks like an old peice of junk camera thats been collecting dust lol. Anyways how do you like the speedbooster? Any cons to using one?

  • The diffusion sells the '80s aspect (unfortunately) but the color feels older.
