HVX: Bronx Bottom Feeder

Well, I remember hearing a bit about an independent gangster flick that was in the works not too long ago called Bronx Bottom Feeder and for some reason it sprang to mind. Anyway, it is relevant for our purposes because it stands as an example of work done with the combination of the Panasonic HVX and the Brevis35 Adapater by Cinevate.

I'm not sure what ultimately came of the flick, or even if they eventually finished and polished the final cut. But they did post this "rough cut" scene a little while back and it does serve as a decent example of what can be done with the aforementioned pieces of equipment if motivated.

Canon XHA1: Independent Feature shot with the A1

In the vein of the CRANK 2 POST, though this may not be the same marketing windfall for the Canon HDV line, I thought I would mention another feature where the Canon XHA1 is being used as the primary camera. In this case, it is the Canon combined with a Brevis adapter.

The website for the feature, with a teaser, is online.



I will note that the teaser essentially includes no audio from principal photography, only scoring and sound effects, so I am not sure what the audio setup was, nor am I sure of the results that were obtained.

However, let it not be said that I did not support independent film and help spread the word.

There is a BLOG for THE DEAD OUTSIDE (IMDB profile) and here is the OFFICIAL SITE, which includes the teaser.

This FORUM POST is also noteworthy because it includes photos of their suped-up XHA1 and some indications of how you can accessorize.

And HERE is their Myspace.

Good luck guys.
