HandsOnHDV:
"A Complete Guide to the Z1U & FX1 Camcorders" was shot entirely in HDV with Z1 and
FX1 camcorders, edited with FCP, and output in 16x9 SD for the
DVD. Throughout the video, a variety of video shooting modes
are demonstrated and explained, including Cineframe 24, CinemaTone,
and customized Picture Profiles.
This is not a bench-top demonstration
or in-studio camera review. It is an in-depth training video
with shooting done by professionals with years of ENG/EFP broadcast
shooting experience. Shooting took place over a four week period
in many locations of the country, under different conditions,
indoors, outdoors, lit, natural light, sports, b-roll, interview
setups, and in-studio, to give as much variety as possible to
the demonstrations and examples.
An EXTRAS folder is included
on the DVD with several exclusive documents, including: A detailed
reference chart that outlines every customizable setting of all
six of the default Picture Profiles so you can compare them and
see the differences. Also included is a comparison chart of the
major differences between the Z1 and the FX1. Some features discussed
in the video only apply to the Z1 and this chart helps identify
those differences.
This 100 minute DVD will tell
you everything you'll need to know to get up and running quickly
with either of the Sony HDV pro camcorders. All of the essential
features and functions are covered in detail.
