Video shot with E-P1--comments, suggestions?
« on: October 01, 2010, 08:53:14 AM »
Here's an edited video I shot of an outdoor song-and-dance show with fireworks, at our local fair the other month. It's been overdubbed with another song. Shot with an E-P1 with 20mm lens, programmed auto exposure, auto ISO. The video quality is okay, but there is noticeable noise in the sky as the fireworks go off. I can't say the video quality is appreciably better than one shot with my P&S Panasonic TZ5, though the sound quality (of the original clips) is far superior. I guess I just expected more for a camera with a sensor 8x the size of a P&S, with a fast prime that costs more than my high end P&S camera. Any and all comments welcome.

PNE 2010 Kaboom Show


(Tip: The embedded clip is very small. Click the 'HD' to watch it in higher res on Vimeo. But oddly, even the 'HD' option on Vimeo doesn't seem to show the full 720p and I don't know why.)

If done with a tripod (to reduce the camera shake,) it would be possible for someone with no much experience to think that this was an official commercial on television.

I felt maybe a few more zoom in on subjects could be used as well.

Overall, good though. Nice scene transitions, and it's straight and to the point without a bunch of stuff garbled in. Good stuff.
Please check out my website for more photos and information.

Thanks for the input. The original footage was over 20 minutes long. I used muvee (www.muvee.com) to automatically select the highlights and create a clip that matches the length of the song. I agree that zooming in would have helped, but I only had the 20mm lens with me that day.

Agh, Vimeo videos take forever to load. Other than the shakycam, it's not bad!
