Over the past 14 months, the ProHD 100 Series camcorder proved quite successful for Chad Terpstra and his cinematography company, CineVera Pictures. Their production, A.R.T.I.F.A.C.T., won three awards at the Compass Academy 24-hour Film Festival.
Lucky Day, also shot with JVC's ProHD 100 Series, made official selection for the Independents' Film Festival.
The Grand Rapids-based cinematography company was created to facilitate a higher level of production values for independent films. "We want the films that we shoot to have a unique and cinematic look to them and come close to Hollywood standard at a fraction of the cost of film," said Terpstra.
Terpstra and his crew at CineVera were impressed with the camera. "Everything from carrying it on your shoulder to the professional lens just feels right about this camera," said Terpstra. CineVera's Lucky Day was shot over the course of two days and was the first production they completed with the ProHD 100 Series camera. Terpstra credits the ergonomics of the camera in helping with the short shoot. "Complex focus pulling was far easier with a manual lens."
CineVera has used JVC's camera in many adverse conditions including extreme heat and cold and Terpstra says the camera has always remained strong. "The camera was covered in frost during one cold night shoot, but after a careful cleaning, it was just fine and worked flawlessly all night."
Terpstra combines the ProHD 100 series camera with a Brevis35 adapter and Nikon lenses which he credits as producing "a new level of excellence in HD video quality." Terpstra plans to use the successful combination in the future to provide CineVera pictures with quality shots. "We look forward to shooting our next feature film with JVC's camera."
