I especially liked the shot at 1:12 - 1:39, the sun traveled across the sky with the music well. Some of the beats of the music didn't match the cuts, and the rabbit felt out of place, but the overall video showed a beautiful morning for a nice Summer Solstice gathering. The imagery of the 150 was beautiful. I didn’t see any grain or video noise, maybe it’s just the program I was viewing it through. This made me want to go out at 4:AM and shoot again like I did in the old days when shooting was number one and a full night’s sleep took a backseat. Did you shoot all day?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/solstice-sunrise#post-48200 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:03:59 +0000 KenzoFKC 48200@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>June 21st 2009. Allison and I stayed up all night and headed to the top of Tumwater hill about 4:30 am to watch the sun rise. Still in the honeymoon phase with my new<br /> Panasonic HMC-150, still getting to know it, to understand it's strengths, weaknesses and limitations. A beautiful sunrise. Saw a rabbit while up there, he made it in to the video, and helped me<br /> realize what music I wanted to cut this to. "Time" is one of my all time favorite songs. I know I'm not supposed to use it, but I could think of nothing else that seemed more fitting to me than this song. I'm not making any money on this video, and I gave credit, so we'll see what happens...</p> <p>At full resolution some of the darker areas seem a bit noisy.  I've been quite impressed with the camera overall so far - caveat; the chassis seems cheap to me.  It's all plastic.  After coming from the DVX-100b and it's solid magnesium alloy chassis, the HMC seriously seems like it could never be as durable as the DVX. Not that I plan on dropping it - and I realize that plastics are a phenomenal material. In all actuality, it's probably fine, it just <em>feels</em> cheap.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIuY-rePSw8&amp;feature=channel_page" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIuY-rePSw8&amp;feature=channel_page</a></p> <p>Any words of encouragement or condemnation are respected and/or appreciated!

I can't seem to find it. I'm wondering if anyone has any generic HMC-150 footage in it's native AVCCAM state.  I'm on the verge of buying one.  I'd really like to try a test run editing some footage to see if my computer will be able to handle it.  Unfortunately I don't live in an area where these cameras are readily available to rent, so I'll give this a shot and see if it works. I just don't want to sink the money into the camera to then find out I need to upgrade my computer.</p> <p>The specs on my computer - if it helps anyone who has edited this footage give me feedback; 2.8 dual core iMac with 4 gigs of ram.</p> <p>Any info or help is greatly appreciated.</p>
