Nikon D3S short: Spring Training Sights and Sounds (720p HD)
Take a look at this short of spring training just captured in Sarasota, Fla. This was all shot using the Nikon D3S hybrid camera. Shot in 720p/24 (my favorite setting), so make sure to watch it in HD, which shows the detail of things like the laces on the baseball, stitching of the cap of the photographer, and overall image quality that you should rely on by getting the right lenses. Microphone is a Rode VideoMic Pro (which has several sound recording settings) Camera was a bit unsteady, since I only used a monopod for the 400mm shots. All focusing was manually performed, no AF was used.
Opening scene: Non-VR 17-35mm lens set on the ground.
Photographer and camera: 28-300mm Nikkor VR lens (notice the movement kept stable with VR as the guy put the camera to his face.)
Two teammates playing catch: 400mm f/2.8 Nikkor ED-IF, non-VR lens
Other scenes: Made with the 400mm lens and a Nikon teleconverter TC-17.
The post-production was converted from the D3S 720p AVI format using MPEG Streamclip for an output of 1280x720, Motion JPEG-A @ 50 pct progressive and edited on a Mac using Final Cut Pro. Footage was tweaked in FCP with a Technicolor plug-in enhancement.
