This is just a test but I think I achieved a pretty close thing to a Vx Hd look. One thing it lacks to every other camera is good sound. People should try to EQ their audio in order to get better skate sounds. I am not saying mine is perfect neither...
That's probably my main complaint of HD filming, or any non-VX stuff really: the sound of skateboarding captured on a VX is unparalleled--it just sounds
right. It's blown out, kind of tinny sounding: simply put, it just sounds raw.
I know that's such a nit-picky thing to hone in on, but that shit matters to me, especially after being conditioned to VX footage for the past twenty years or whatever.
That newest Grey Magazine edit is a great example of this. That footage was soooooo great and filmed so well, probably my favorite edit of 2017 so far, but it just
sounds weak.
Any of that fisheye footage would sound blazing with a VX, but give it a listen, 2:05, 2:30, 2:55, etc.
