From 10P to EX3: Record passion and carry dreams: I have three dreams ppt

10P: The first camera in my pocket. One year ago, I accidentally watched a foreign documentary short film "Pocket". The plot was very simple. The director randomly interviewed some people, including men, women, old and young. Ask them to take out one of the objects from their pocket and tell a story about themselves and the object in three to five sentences. Some of them took out an old ring from their pockets to talk about a love affair, and some took out a key that could not open any locks and talked about a friendship... The director did not choose an interviewee to take out a mobile phone or wallet from his pocket. Yes, it is obvious that this director's "Pocket" has transcended the physical level. It contains the warmth that remains in everyone's heart.

Watching this short film, I was also thinking, as a documentary filmmaker, what items would I keep in my pocket? I haven't finished watching the short film, but I already have the answer - it's a DV camera.

15 years ago, I started my documentary journey by carrying a Betacam camera. As a documentary worker from the public security team, I have to fight with the police most of the time, but I still have to carry the huge body and weight of the camera on my shoulders. It brings a lot of inconvenience to the shooting. At that time, my biggest wish was to get a lightweight professional DV camera. This wish came true four years later.

I still remember the first time I saw that Sony DSR-PDX 10P camera 10 years ago. I can still feel the excitement of holding it. It should be from that moment on, I The camera went into my pocket. Since then, it has become my closest companion. I have taken it into scorching fire scenes and used it to shoot 110 rescue and disaster relief scenes in the rain. Of course, it has also helped me record many intense scenes. arresting action.

Time passed quickly. When I was no longer limited to shooting documentaries on public security themes, when I changed from working alone to working in a team, the camera in my hand also turned into a monitor. The team he led began to use large cameras again. From Betacam to DVW to HDCAM, camera quality has continued to improve, but no camera has ever fit in my pocket like the 10P.

EX3 makes shooting full of passion and dreams

“The camera we use must be resistant to moisture and high temperatures, and must be lightweight and flexible.” These are the three major characteristics of the camera in my pocket. One hot afternoon ten years later, I handed it all to photographer Li Hongjun. At that time, the documentary I was about to shoot was about a peasant women’s basketball team in Shunde, Guangdong. I had just done a preliminary interview. It rained almost every day, and it was very humid and hot. There was no air conditioning in the training hall, which was like a big steamer. "We are shooting amateur basketball, not the NBA. If you want the picture to be gorgeous, it is best to follow the shooting in the game venue. The camera must be lightweight."

"If these are the only requirements, use an HDV All solved. But if you want to capture the dynamics of the game and portray the characters’ expressions very delicately, you must add a wide-angle lens. All current HDV cameras cannot change the lens.” Lao Li has been a photographer for more than 20 years. Very good with cameras. "Not only that, but the picture quality we shoot must be truly high-definition."

"Then there is only one machine that can meet the shooting requirements, the Sony PMW-EX3," Lao Li said with certainty, but then I hesitated again, "Do you really want me to run around the field for a whole game? Do people agree with you doing this?"

"It's nothing, it's just an amateur game and an amateur player." At this time I and Lao Li feel like Kobe and James.

Shunde's Jun'an Women's Basketball Team is a township amateur basketball team. In the past 30 years, coach He Xinfu has led this team to win five consecutive National Farmers Games championships. Most of the old players have left, and the young players The level is getting higher and higher, becoming more like a professional player. In order to win the National Amateur League Championship, coach He Xinfu also planned to introduce two foreign players, which was opposed by the team captain Ouyang Hongfen. After a conflict, Ouyang Hongfen left the team, and the master and apprentice began to find and think about the value of the team's survival through different channels. Our film begins with the conflict between the coach and the captain. I regard this film as the Chinese people’s true reflection on the value of sports after the Olympic Games.

For me, the EX3 was perfect for shooting this film. This is not only because the technical features of PMW-EX3 can fully meet the shooting requirements, but more importantly, the real value that the protagonist of the film is looking for and thinking about is reflected in PMW-EX3.

Just as Coach Hexinfu hopes to make the team stronger and stronger, my team and I are also constantly pursuing the improvement of audio and video quality. This is not wrong, but it is getting further and further away from the pocket. The objects inside are far away from the creative impulse and shooting passion that the camera brings to you. This suddenly reminded me of a shooting. It was two months ago. During the shooting, we met a Canadian photography team. They took two PMW-EX3s, one of which was equipped with a curved adapter and a lot of The long lens makes the photographer feel like a sniper rifle when holding it.

"You must be a special forces soldier," I joked to him.

"You are right, it is my most powerful weapon." He smiled heartily and waved the "rifle" in his hand.

EX3 can indeed make shooting full of passion and dreams. Only such a camera will allow more documentaries to put it in their pockets and not only use it, but also own it. Objectively speaking, PMW-EX3 can not only meet high-quality shooting requirements, but more importantly, it has a lower purchase price, which greatly lowers the entry threshold for pursuing HD image quality, allowing more people to enjoy shooting HD The joy that documentaries bring.

The old players led by Ouyang Hongfen and the young players led by He Xinfu started a duel on a sultry afternoon. The winner will represent the Jun'an Women's Blue Team in the National Amateur Basketball League, but in the end the confrontation became By integrating, they achieved self-transcendence together. But Lao Li couldn't surpass Kobe, and his calf cramped after running for half the game. I was moved by Lao Li, and like a substitute, I brought up PMW-EX3 and rushed into the court. At that moment, I regained the excitement I had ten years ago, but I couldn't surpass James. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait for calf cramps. Li went into battle again. In this way, from He Xinfu to Ouyang Hongfen to the young players, from Lao Li to me to Lao Li, from the 10P in his pocket to EX3, we performed a wonderful game together.
