Professional Videography : Suggestions On 2nd Camcorder To Compliment A Canon Xh A1?
Hi I’m starting an event videography business. Ideally I would like to have three camcorders for different angles. I plan on using a Canon XH A1 as my primary camcorder and using two Canon Hv20’s as my secondary and third camcorders. I know that the HV20 has one ccd and the XH A1 has three ccd’s. Do you think splicing footage between these different camcorders would be problematic or should the quality of the image blend fairly well? At the most I could purchase two Canon XH A1 camcorders, leaving me with only a two angle setup. My other option is to purchase one Canon XH A1 as a primary and two Canon HV20’s as a secondary/third, and thus having a three camcorder setup. What are your opinions/advice on these options? Other feasible options/alternatives?
Thanks
I doubt most people will notice or care. Especially if you shoot it right. You do cut aways to something else then back to another angle of the first shot and no one notices any different. YOu do dissolves and no one notices.
Unfortunately you’re not going to have the in camera control you need on a shot by shot basis without going to the XL2s are you mutliple cameras.
So you will have to work with the editing software.
