Show Your Work 2007

Jacob Sundt · May 3rd, 2007, 04:00 AM

Hey guys, thought I'd post this up. I'm recording all of my track days (on and off bike) for a documentary I'm creating. I thought this would be an interesting subject to post here being that 99.9% of you have had zero exposure to this culture/world.
Here is the first test vid of this season. This first episode is all 'on-board' shooting so I'm limited to a Sony EX View single CCD bullet cam (feeding into a Canon ZR700 for recording). This is really just a test vid as I'm working out the bugs in my new on-bike setup (these were the first shots) and I'm still practicing my editing skills. (don't let that stop you from watching it tho!!! :] )
In the future I will be mixing shots like these with the 'off-bike' shots from my A1U + dialogue etc.

thnx and enjoy!

Have a look and let me know where I can make some improvements.

I know the compression is not good on Utube but you get the idea.
thanks

I thought it looked pretty darn good. The only thing that jumps out at me as something that could be improved is the audio quality from inside the boats. The engines and wind are overwhelming the mics. I know that the camera considerations on these craft must be difficult as size is probably limited. You are probably using the on-camera mic for simplicity and your cameras may even be so small that they don't have external mic jacks. The only thing I could think you could do is to put the cameras in a housing that will dampen the noise and protect the cameras from water spray. Maybe a window tilted forward would keep the water flowing away from the lens.

No, these don't seem like perfect solutions, but the engine/wind noise is your only problem with the video.

These events look hard to shoot. The area covered is immense and access to the waterline looks difficult. It does make for some nice scenery since it's not all developed.

This is a Super-8 project that I recently DP'd.

The Producers have posted very short excerpts online at www.DaliDaliDali.com.

You kind of have to fish around to find all the short excerpts and the website isn't completely done yet. What is shown is just a small fraction of what was actually shot.

Greetings everyone,

I’m proud to present three new videos. The first is a lovely music video. The story was written by the artist, which turned out pretty good to be his first time really writing. After the fact, I wished we could have done just a few things different with the storyline (the stuff with the cops came out beautiful), but overall, I have no complaints about this video.

DVX100B
Glidecam 2000 (few shots)
CC with Adobe Premiere
Oktava Mic

Interesting story, this video was actually shot before my last one (Down South Leanin’), but I had to borrow a few concepts from this video for the other one, so if they look somewhat similar, now you know!

Also, we just did a funny little introduction for my university’s talent show. It encompasses our musical talent.

Last, but not least, a short skit we did last weekend called, “The Friend Zone”.

Enjoy! Feedback is appreciated!

very nice looking footage there Steve. What lens did you use? sdi? to tape?

Mike Horrigan · May 5th, 2007, 11:40 AM

You know what? That was pretty damn funny. I got a kick out of it anyway... the doctor was pretty good as well.

Good stuff!

Mike

Hey all I just thought I'd share a little video I made a couple years ago. This won't impress you at all but it will make you laugh. FOR COMIC RELIEF PURPOSES ONLY! It will be good for you after much forum jumping.

This was shot on a one chip panny and edited with a less than stellar program. The timing of the music and some of the shots cold have been better but the program I was editing with (I won't name names), was...well, painful to use.

I was home for the weekend and this helped subdue the boredom for a couple hours. This is in no way indicative of my work, just screwing around. WATCH IT though, it is funny as hell. Oh and by the way, the dog is female- you'll see why I point that out! Enjoy.

Great use of light, particularly in "Janine". Everything looked a bit magical but didn't feel fake. Did you use any other software to do effects and/or color correction?
