Joining the HD revolution
Posted: February 1st, 2008 | Author: Daniel | Filed under: Uncategorized |I just purchased an amazing video camera capable of shooting some pretty impressive HD footage. It’s the Panasonic HVX200 and it’s a pretty gnarly camera. Among other things, it can shoot variable frame rates which means great timelapse and slo-mo capabilities. I’m also really impressed by Panasonic’s P2 solid-state card system, the workflow is great with the P2CMS program.

Now that Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS3 can handle the P2 system, and Flash can display h.264 footage, it seemed like a perfect time to up my cinematography game and get a decent camera to document, among other things, my ski-bum season in Whistler B.C.
I’ll be posting some footage as soon as I get to grips with the camera, but you can already check out some beautiful HVX shots in Lakai’s Fully Flared (John Nack recently posted about this) and even feature films like Cloverfield use the HVX extensively.
