Show Your Work 2006

Thanks a lot!

The 35mm DOF adaptor I use is the Letus35 flip enhanced. It's a great piece of kit, I thoroughly recommend it. I used it with different Nikon manual SLR lenses.

In camera I had black stretch on and cinematone 1. I also upped the colours by 1 notch.

In the edit I used Natress fast de-interlace smart blend. A slight reduction in gamma, squashed the blacks a little bit more and upped the saturation by about 15% to get that effect.

I didn't use any optical filters for any of it.

Thanks for the kind words!

@Mike

Except that we used a mini35 adapter and the ocassional ND filter, there were no special settings to achieve the look except for trying to get the most neutral image on tape so we could have as much as possible headroom for the color correction - and it is CC where all of the look comes from.

Cheers, Peter

PS: Well our most special setting of the cam was our DOP Marcus Stotz - great cinematographer!

Peter, that looks great! You're DOP is awesome! I love seeing stuff like this. As people speculate and debate about SD/HD, RED, which camera to buy, blah blah, people like you just plow right through all the crap and get on to making great looking images! That's got to be some of the best Mini DV footage I have ever seen. Just shows what can be accomplished. Well done!

Howdy,

I recently finished a stop-motion short with Maroon Films, located in De Pere, Wisconsin. It runs 2min 45sec.

The video will require Flash 7 or newer (everyone should be running Flash 9 because of some important security updates anyway). I will post some WMV, MOV, and RM options before this weekend.

Enjoy,

video was great, love the stop-motion effects! slight hand reflection in window, but overall great. Go Packers!

G. Scott Roberts · October 25th, 2006, 05:05 PM

Wanted to see it but all 3 of the links are now dead.

Robert Graf · October 25th, 2006, 05:31 PM

Thanks for the comments. I'm not much into football myself over here as I'm busy working on lots of projects like this. :)

I did notice the hand quite a while back, but I haven't had time to fix it yet. It's subtle, but it's there. I do regret not using my polarizer filter for that particular shot, so now I will have to fix it in post when I can get a chance.

Later! and Happy Early Halloween!

So we've been trying to get into doing commercials and we finally got our break. This is the first for real commercial I've ever done, so lemme know what you guys think!!

We took the pictures in our studio, and then just moved the pictures around in Final Cut Pro. Our sound guy did the music in Logic Express.

Steve Maller · October 25th, 2006, 11:05 PM

it looks and sounds great! congrats...

Jeff Emery · October 25th, 2006, 11:06 PM

I think you did a fine job. 30 seconds sure goes by quick when you're trying to convey a message, doesn't it?

Great job! I really liked the look and feel of the video. It went perfectly with the song...

Well done!

Who's idea was it for the "backstory" of the video with the little kids?
