Fetching Equipment

Sunday, February 8. 2009 21:39
Whooho... today we went to the broadcaster to fetch the Equipment and collect everything together. They fetched me with a huge van and then we drove to the hr studios where we fetched he rest of the needed equipment. Cameras, Cables, Recorders, Reflectors and a lot more. All in all a very busy thing to carefully store everything in that van. But then the fun started.

Our equipment for cameras was in one JVC GY-HD100, one Canon XL H1 and one Canon XL H1A. Whow... great Cameras in deed. We spend the whole day in testing those babies out. And it was a real fun to so so. ( Just a sidenode. Only the JVC was form the hr, the other two are privately owned and the fun part is, the XL H1 realy is my old cam I sold to a freind a few years ago ;-) And it's still in perfect shape and running smoothly. Good to see its in good hands, but also sad to see that I am stuck with a small camery nowadays. Of course my HVR-A1E is not bad at all, but still the optical system is not the same. )

Colorcorrecting those three brutes was a non funny task, I can tell you. We took over an hour until we had all cameras leveled and in same colorquality for all settings to shoot. And then we started to just for the fun do some comparisons for quality, handling and over all performance to get ourselves used to handling them blindly. Was a lot of fun to shoot just for the fun of it. Although the weather was not that well, it was fine for just esting average settings in the target light situation we will shoot next weekend ( hopefully, if the weather stays :-) )

We also tested a little sieline equipmenet I was thinking about to use at EF this year. A digital video and communication system for cameras. I was at least able to get the audio work biirectionally, but failed to do it for video. The line form camera to picture control worked fine, but I was unable to get the control and videofeed back to the camera. The image quality is excellent tho. Maybe I will find someone this week who can - for a coffe or so - explain to me how to set this up in the right way.

I'll write more about the different models and types and maybe post some comparison video footage when I can find some time to extract and name the different images. Anyway... I am realy excied about doing a video project again after ushc long time.
