Administrators Andrew Reid Posted October 28, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2013 http://vimeo.com/77825876 The Sony RX1 has amazing stills but awful video! I began thinking how could I use this otherwise great little camera for video? The answer is to rough up the image beyond comprehension, with trick filters. Here's how I did it.Read the full article here Kingswell, gloopglop and Ben Prater 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica50mm Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Some of it looks interesting for a short while, but couldn't imagine watching it for more than a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 This is terrible just how little interest this topic has had. It seems as if it's not technical based, relating to a raw hack, resolution test or new anamorphic lens, no one is interested. Shameful really.

Most people want something they can quantify, take away and do. The creative posts always sink because you can't steal someone's creativity! Keep shooting guys! It will find an audience, just not in the camera geek community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prismschism Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 these psychedelic vibes make for a whole new angle to tell a story ! I personally view this similarly to recording a musician - tasteful distortion (or perhaps a chorus effect in this case?) is yet another flavor to the finish.. However, one shouldn't oversaturate things - an hour of this footage would surely cause dizziness! and as such, the content before the filter is the main anchor of the visual. @26 @1:46 & @2:16,17 would certainly make a nice scene for a dreamy daze following a stimulant-fueled night's aftermath (Ã la Black Swan). Technology & technique are why I choose to read this blog - keep it up ! Andrew Reid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted October 29, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks prism. Appropriate name :) The aim of this was to test out a concept on whatever I found on the street that day really. It's already fired some ideas off of how it can be used in a planned shoot. I'm planning two music videos for the Berlin band Bunny Suit at the moment so maybe it will turn up again. That's the great thing about testing out different equipment, it can actually generate ideas in itself. Got the filter thread adapter for X100S so I can use it on that - video is a little better on that at 1080/30p but in 1080/60p moire and aliasing actually get worse. First camera I know that does that between frame rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea online where I can get some kits like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarlow Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Of course we should not neglect the use of split dioptre, especially for scope and these babies are like rocking horse schit to find :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Congratulations on the video Andrew! It's wonderful! I worked as a VJ for several years and I can tell you this video could be projected and make any club cooler!!! Andrew Reid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina Ava Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I always found the caleidoscope no less than pure magic. Looking through it reminds us what a warped idea we have or reality. The caleidoscope is a remnant of the early advances in optics, and its not so popular today. Glad you used it..makes me want to fiddle with fractals! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 It's understandable. Most people want something they can quantify, take away and do. The creative posts always sink because you can't steal someone's creativity! Keep shooting guys! It will find an audience, just not in the camera geek community. I didn't originally comment, but I was inspired to buy some of these off ebay to experiment with for use in music video shoots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswell Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Andrew what trick filter did you use on the opening shot? It's absolutely glorious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
