circus video

On January 2011 I recorded live the nice performance of a friend of mine practicing trapeze in a circus show.

The stage was close but being very large I had to zoom all the way on kit lens (18-55) to have him framed nicely.
So I held the camera up the crowd and recorded with the screen flipped down.

Stellar ISO performance and good image stabilization did the job giving me a quite satisfactory recording.

Performer: Anibal Virgilio - you can find his channel on the tube as "anibal2782"

NEX-video is crazy. We're producing our local shows, no postprocessing of the video and audio. Importing in iMovie, cutting, and publishing.

yes it's really good,
my only complaint is the lack of full manual controls..

Well as a performer who also knows his way around a trapeze rig I have to say it was a great act. He kept his character all the way through, even as he went off stage. And his trapeze performance was quite unusual - I rarely saw peices in that style and several of the transitions I never saw before - so good work!

And nice smooth video too. I've been using my NEX to capture fire performance, my main area of performance.

he's been practicing for two years on a local school here in italy.

I was afraid of the low light and high contrast, there's a bit of overexposed tones of the skin, and around the middle of the video I turned compensation down
