Panasonic HVX200 = New Life

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Some of you may know that I recently bought a Panasonic HVX200. This camera is as amazing as people have always said. I am so excited to own such a beautiful piece of machinery.

Previously, I owned a Sony V1U, and compared to this, that camera is a complete joke. Don’t get me wrong, the V1U is still quite pretty, but not compared to this monster.

Here are a few samples of footage from the first few days of owning it.

I am not experienced enough with it to produce better results, and I’m not using any 35mm adapters, but the footage is still stunning in my opinion. Enjoy.

Dionysos: Tais Toi Mon Coeur

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

I was pointed to this video recently, and it is absolutely stunning. I’ve watched it a few times now and I am completely sucked in.

If anybody can tell me more about it, who may know, I’d love to learn.

From what I can tell, it’s a music video for a French band called Dionysos, and the song is entitled “Tais Toi Mon Coeur,” from their latest album La Mecanique du Coeur.

I am reminded of Tim Burton’s work, like The Nightmare Before Christmas, and A Corpse Bride. More importantly, it looks like something that The Brothers Quay would produce. I am also reminded of some of the puppetry in Jan Švankmajer’s “Faust“.

This video is utterly amazing work. I am in love with it.

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

For those of you who have an opinion, aka, all of you… this show is for you. However, there’s one catch. You have to like cars, or be interested in the automotive world beyond the typical “I drive a Cobalt” person.

This is a short project that we filmed while in Las Vegas for Fast Lane Daily’s coverage of SEMA. Now it is not at all related to the rest of Garage419, except for the fact that both Matt Farah and Alex Roy, the two drivers in the video below.

Watch and enjoy. And when you’re done… subscribe to Garage419 because there is much more to come. A whole ton of awesome.
