NX1 - summer holiday in Norway - short movie
24

Hi everyone,

I bought the NX1 specially for my holidays. Making pictures AND movies.

Below you can find the end result of the short movie (3 minutes).

I did not use any colour grading. I stabilized the shots in FCP. For shots where the sun is shining, I have used a polarization filter. Most shots are filmed with the Samsung 16-50 F2.0-2.8 lens.

Beautiful images! What were your in-camera settings?

Great video! A very fine presentation of Norway.

Found the camera under $1000 here and maybe lower later this week. Only sceptical of JPEG NR at high ISO.

Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure anymore about the settings. After the latest firmware update, settings were deleted...

For sure I have used Gamma C mode.

Following settings are most likely used:

Sharpness: -7

Contrast: -5

Master black level: 5

No colour grading in post

Re: NX1 - summer holiday in Norway - short movie

You make me want to visit Norway (and buy the NX1)!
Did you use DIS? And what other accessories (like tripods, other equipment)?

Everything is filmed hand held, no tripod.
DIS was not available at the time I was on holiday. I stabilized the shots in Final Cut Pro.

I also used a polarisation filter when the sun was shining.

Some really good footage there. I could easily see this as a travel commercial to visit Norway!

Very nice travel video.  You have a gift for composition.  So many of your shots were perfectly framed.  You also have a very steady hand.  I was sure you used a tripod for some shots before I read your comment that it was hand-held.

Just curious.  Did you convert to h.264 or ProRes to edit?  In Premiere Pro, ProRes is much easier to work with (less lag) and grades better.

Thans you! My shots are very simple to make to be honest. Just select a subject and hond steady for 5 seconds.

I simply used the Samsung program to convert the videos.

One week ago I bought Editready to give colour grading a change. Will post something when I am ready (juist became a dad of a beautiful sun!)

First I was also interested in al the NX rumours. But it is a waste of time...

For me the NX1 is the perfect tool for the things I do. I am really happy with the camera. Instead of the discusssions about the rumours, you can better enjoy your camera!

Was just thinking the same, about NX500. After getting it forgot all the rumors and enjoying the camera!

Well, you certainly have some great settings to shot them in. Superb video, well done.
