25p on a Sony FX1000E?

**VideJo** · 2009 June 12th, 14:28

What is the purpose of the possibily of the FX1000 to set the camera to 25p, when in the manual this possibility is followed by a remark, that the images are converted to 50i and saved to tape in that format?
Or is this only a useable feature, when you save the images directly to an Intensity card?
Someone said: "The 50i is what people refer to as a container. When you transfer the footage from hdv tape to your computer, your editor or 3rd party software will remove the 25p footage from the container. This process is also refered to as pulldown."
Now I always thought, that pulldown was only needed to edit footage from NTSC versions?

Do you know what PF25 on the HV is? This is the same thing.

Hi! Here is the trailer of my upcoming movie, hazard.

[ame="http://www.vimeo.com/5149365"]Hazard Trailer *NEW* Zombie Horror on Vimeo[/ame]

Shoot with fx 1000 in 1080i and 25p mode (24p in us).

I am astonished!
How did you do that? I do not see any of the flaws I see, when looking at 25p . . . no stuttering. Which app do you use for post? And what are the steps you used?

**ghostpictures.de** · 2009 June 19th, 04:16

I filmed with 1/50 shutter and more...
Render progressiv in Vegas 8.

A little collor corecction wit bullet looks.

**VideJo** · 2009 June 19th, 07:00

Thanks, I will give it a try to see, whether I get some simular results.

**thequads** · 2009 June 20th, 02:56

looks great!

the fx1000 is the absolutley most under appreciated hdv prosumer cam on the market today. Better low light than the hmc150, better resolution than the xha1. not to mention pretty shallow dof for it's sensor size.. not sure why that is, but I'm completely loving mine.

**thequads** · 2009 June 20th, 03:36

hey ghost. The scene in the abandoned building. Did you use lights or was that all using the availble sunlight coming from the outside?

**ghostpictures.de** · 2009 June 20th, 04:15

I used completly all availble sunlight coming from the outside. =)
Really awesome i think!

For the second shot in with the guy in white. I used a reflector for lighten up the faces.

**thequads** · 2009 June 20th, 04:30

very cool, you found a great location to shoot.

**dWyZaK** · 2009 July 5th, 19:05

This is a fantastic camera, i'm really tempted by it but a little annoyed it has no xlr inputs.

**VideJo** · 2009 July 6th, 03:23

Then you should opt for a Z5.

**dWyZaK** · 2009 July 6th, 08:38

Thanks, ill go check the Z5 out now.

**thequads** · 2009 July 7th, 16:43

I'd go with the fx1000 over the xha1 or hmc at this point in time. but not sure if i'd go witht he z5 over them.. because of the price difference.

**VideJo** · 2009 July 7th, 17:58

You should not see any picture difference, as the overwhelming part of the two cams is identical.

**dWyZaK** · 2009 July 7th, 18:21

Yeah depends on how much you value your on camera sound.
I don't think it's worth it for the extra cost.
It's only 1.3grand below an EX1

Then again, if you havn't got a sound tech on a set, then maybe it is worth it.
So many choices.

That zombie trailer certainly shows the potential visually here.

Its funny, I was always set against Sony gear, convinced i'd upgrade to Canon or Panny, but I used a V1E & a Z1E last month and they are fantastic, I loved the build quality, the LCD positioning was sweet, the manual rings a complete joy, i'm totally sold now.
