jukkasil, the shots look great! Really authentic spagetti western (if that's not a contradiction in terms!!?

atmosphere to them! I look forward to seeing the finished film. The clip won't play on my mac alas, don't have the codec...

Hey Jukka,

these frames looks awesome...incredible sharpness!!

WhoÃ‚Â´s the Director of photography? Great job!

Just a little question... whereÃ‚Â´s the Italian cowboy in this Spagetti Western?

The guy in the film is a very very nordic cowboy!!

Sweet! Clip looked really nice -- amazing in fact, considering it's S8mm. Hope to see more of your clips soon. I'd love to see this on a DVD and see how it looks on my television screen. I am wondering at that size how much the grain will stand out.

Super Work -- makes S8 users proud.

We only have native italian voice over, other things are really Finnish-stylish things, but hey this isn't real spaghetti western at all, more like pasta western (you'll get the point, when you'll see the movie)!

I already have tested it with 8 min rawedited (the whole movie will be about 15 minutes), made both 2.35:1 letterboxed 4:3 and letterboxed 2.35:1 16:9 am version for DVD and both looked just great! I wacthed them with my 32" Panasonic TV.

so it's verified then. not all dv avi's work on mac os. most other ones do, and since all dv codecs are compatible at the data level it has do be a file format thing. does canopus use their own avi format or what?

the stills look great. even when compared to the omnipresent hd still. i wish daniel had used a still with more detail than a closeup of an eye. it would have avoided plenty of misconceptions.

you're right, thanks. which makes me even more curious about avi-formats since the dv data seems to be regular dv...

Mattias, I still use 5 years old Canopus DVRaptor in Win98SE, so that's why I send this DV-file with Canopus own codec. Anyway I'm planning to replace that computer to new Mac after I have completed this "Al Dente" and "Nut Case" short movies.

no, the codec doesn't really matter -- quicktime should play all dv codecs -- i'm curious about the file format which has to be non standard in some way.

good for you.

Your frames look great. I'm downloading the film now.
I also shot a Western here in Canada last January.
Here's the link to anyone interested.

Tried everything, won't play. The setup file is MS-DOS only, doesn't work on machines that don't run DOS software.

The Canon has a XL Shutter does it not ? I find I get sharper images using cameras with a smaller shutter opening. My Nizo 8060 produces a softer image then my Beaulieu shooting the same thing. I personally like the soft look of the western, but looking at that eye close up I was impressed. However close ups always look sharper and there was no movment. Have you ever noticed how digital camera makers always show close up and macro pictures of what there cameras can do?

shutter angle could be a factor
