This tutorial is supplementary to the DVD that you get with your Steadicam Merlin and is specific to setting up the stock Canon XHA1 and Steadicam Merlin. Before I bought my own Steadicam Merlin I was very curious to know what it even looked like. I'd seen enough footage but didn't really get a good look at the device itself, so I hope this tutorial satisfies the curiosity of folks like me as well.

For me this was more an exercise in shooting and editing this kind of thing and I should apologize for the bits that are out of focus. It was the first time I had used the HV30 for anything more than a point and shoot kind of thing and it was on full auto. After seeing the footage and the out of focus parts, I sat down and played with the camera and figured out how set it in manual focus and such and planned a second shoot the next day.

As soon as we started the shoot I found to my dismay that I had lost one of the caliper locking screws (probably the previous day) and had to abort the shoot, and here we are.

I'm really impressed with the quality of video this little camera puts out. The whole thing was shot on the long end of the lens in order to get a shallow depth of field with the stock camera (I don't own a Letus Mini). The shoot itself was a lot of fun considering we had to shoot close-ups such that continuity could be maintained during the edits. I must confess that a few of the close-ups were not used because I had difficulty maintain continuity during editing. But all in all, it was a fun experience to do this kind of thing and I'm thinking, once I get my locking screw I might do one for the HV20/30 folks.

The shots here are from my first paid gig. I also just received the Steadicam Marlin a few days prior to leaving for Colorado. So the steadicam shots you see here are my very first. I found the Steadicam easy to use in terms of carrying the weight of the Merlin and camera in one hand and even the balance aspect. What is hard is that you have to anticipate the camera moves before you'd normally move kind of, so that's going to take quite a bit of practice. Some shots did work out ok however.]]>Story TellingAdobe Premiere Pro CS3Canon 50mm f/1.4Canon HV20Canon XH A1Letus 35 ExtremeLibec LS-55MNikon 100mm f2.8Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:29:13 GMThttp://exposureroom.com/36eb94afbf404abebc65cb3808f2893a/http://exposureroom.com/36eb94afbf404abebc65cb3808f2893a/InterviewMarketingAdobe Premiere Pro CS3Audio Technica AT831RAudio Technica ATH-M40fsCanon XH A1Letus 35 ExtremeLibec LS-55MNikon 100mm f2.8Tiffen Steadicam MerlinMon, 18 Aug 2008 18:28:50 GMThttp://exposureroom.com/054603dae5ee42b1ba1252e0c9fe383f/http://exposureroom.com/054603dae5ee42b1ba1252e0c9fe383f/MarketingStory TellingVineyardWineWineryAdobe Premiere Pro CS3Canon HV20Canon XH A1Letus 35 FELibec LS-55MNikon 100mm f2.8Nikon 50mm f/1.4Tiffen Steadicam MerlinThu, 26 Jun 2008 08:09:39 GMThttp://exposureroom.com/a77701f64859431a9c07abf03ced8546/http://exposureroom.com/a77701f64859431a9c07abf03ced8546/
