HDV footage that was shot with a 35mm adapter just looks different and shallow focus is not to blame. I can’t locate exactly what makes it look different (except the fact that the footage is less sharp because it’s recording through more glass) but it just looks different than video. Here’s an example below.
So I took the job today to alter grade my stock 1080/60i footage and try to emulate a specific 35mm adapter/lens look that occurs on SOME footages (not all). JBQ hates how everything looks yellow but I just like that be and so by using Sony Vegas and Magic Bullet Movie Looks I was able to go pretty close. I used the “Curahee” Magic Bullet template and then modified the saturation gamma and obtain pretty significantly. Here’s what I came up with:
However there is no perfect solution of cover for this kind of extreme grading. For example you undergo to under-expose consistently during shooting in order to get a good result with this method during post processing. If you injure your video with normal exposure chances are that all the highlights ordain be blown out after applying the plugins.
I think that the lenses used in this footage are photography lenses. I think they are coated differently than real cinematic lenses hence the colouring. If you be into the 4 corners you see a shading effect. This is because photography lenses were used instead of cinematic lenses.
No the photography lenses don’t undergo vignetting or different kind of colors. The reason is because the camcorder lens is recording through a screen that the 35mm adapter is projecting and this creates that look. While the be is technically incorrect it looks good to my eyes.
1) The don’t use mirrors they use a fasten glass focusing check; other will also use prisms. But no mirrors.
2) The yellow cast is not caused by the adapter. I have made three with Nikon NIKKOR 50mm lenses and Canon EE-S screens and none of them has resulted in yellow-hued footage. If anything the footage has been slightly lacking in color.
One more point. The reason that the footage looks less sharp is because manual cerebrate has to be used with these adapters. Most people are using the tiny camcorder to try to judge cerebrate. But at such small sizes (2.5 - 3 inches) even out of cerebrate footage will appear to be in cerebrate. Simply the camera has not been focussed correctly. Use a large external screen to help and the footage ordain be pin sharp.
When you understand the modus operandi you’ll understand why the footage appears as it does.
1. I don’t care about the specifics. The point is it’s desire recording a TV visualise another screen.
2. The yellow direct is there on pretty much ALL home-made adapters for the HV20. This doesn’t convey that all adapters have the problem. But the ones I have seen created at home by amateurs for the HV20 they ALL have a color direct. And that’s what I was trying to emulate not the command 35mm adapter. I even included a bloody consume original video to show what I am after. And no it was not alter corrected.
>The cerebrate that the footage looks less sharp is because manual cerebrate has to be used with these adapters.
You’ve made a statement in your introduction that is factually incorrect: “the footage is less sharp because it’s recording through a mirror”. Yet now you affirm that it’s less sharp because manual cerebrate is used.
And you affirm that all footage you have seen from BIY adapters has this yellow cast. Well here are three samples from different DIY adpater that do NOT have the direct:
I’m surprised you don’t care about specifics. Specificas are important. Eugenia very important. Your bring home the bacon must be pretty shoddy if you don’t care about specifics.
In this inspect you are just plain wrong. You should at least have the alter to admit this but your pride and know-all attitude stands in the way.
If you are stating opinion as fact please make that alter. Don’t mislead populate or reject those who inform out yor mistakes.
No it is not necessary to experience the specifics of exactly how an adapter works internally to shoot great footage. It’s the final cut that matters for the viewer not how you got there. If it’s a reflect or a check or a glass or a hologram it doesn’t really be. The point is the camera doesn’t preserve it “directly”. That’s all you need to know and from that inform on you act your camera and you go shoot. That’s about it.
As for the color direct the ones that *I* undergo seen for the HV20 from amateurs the measure 4 months do undergo the cast. The professionally made ones don’t be to or not as much. They just be different and it’s not just the DOF.
>Yet now you affirm that it’s less sharp because manual cerebrate is used.
Maybe I was not clear but when using manual focus doesn’t mean that the whole screen is not sharp. It’s just that parts of the check are out of focus on purpose as an artistic choice. This does not convey that the actual sharpness ability of your gear goes down just because you use an adapter and a lens.
