Show Your Work 2008

Gregor Baumann · April 27th, 2008, 04:51 PM

Hi!

I'm a german student and want to show of my work.
My course has produced a shortmovie (16min.) in five weeks, 1 week recording and 1.5 editing. I've done the filming and editing together with a good friend of mine. The actors speak German, but in a few days I'll post the translated text.

Meerblick (Ocean view) - To have a last look at the ocean!

Malte as a young self-confident boy, has high marks at school and withstands every problem.
Really everything?
He is confronted with death at the age of 17:
Malte's mother is going to die.
He cares after his mother in every single minute and anticipates Nele's every wish. Just as her last dream, to have a last look at the ocean.
The love towards his mother lets Malte move heaven and earth...

Filmed on my Sony PMW-EX1 in 1080p25 with 1/50s, without a filmadapter, just the stock-lens. Audio was gathered through a Sennheiser Me66 and a Sennheiser wireless system.
Many shots used a steadycam and sometimes a dolly.
At end of day shooting, the two 8GB SxS cards were downloaded onto my MacBookPro.
Editing and audio mixing happend on Final Cut Pro 6.0.2. The general look was given inside the camera and for final colorgrading I used Apple Color.

I shot this music video for a swedish rapper with a Canon XM2 and edited with Premiere Pro CS3 and color grading done with Color Finesse 2. Hope to hear your thoughts, thanks!

Just finished my 2008 VideoReel. Sort of a combination of everything over the last year or so before I start work on a full-time project called Vermillion. Finalised some new colours, got the grain I am after. I also had a hand at Twixtor, and used it for a shot at 0:42. Seemed to turn out quite well, with a few noticable pieces of people or bike missing if you look closely:)

Hi All -
Long story short after years of dealing with an inept distributor - an award winning feature I made several years ago is - at long last - available on DVD.

read the story - I'm sure many of you can relate!

Check out the site. If you want to pick up a copy - thanks - if not feel free to pass the url on to friends, enemies, lovers, haters and various message boards.

The camera seems to be working fine now, although it does jitter when panning after I capture the footage to my computer, but when I burn a DVD it looks smooth on the TV now. I am thinking that is due to my computer even though I have a Hyper Threading Pentium 4 / 3.4GHz with 3.25GB of RAM and 70% of my application hard drive space available as I keep all my data on external drives.

Here are the service details from Canon:
"It was found that the internal component was dusty. The playback image was distorted from time to time. The internal component was replaced. Other electrical adjustments, inspections, and cleaning, mechanical adjustments and parts replacements were carried out."

The cost was: $271.53. (all labor even though they said they replaced a part) Who knows...

Here is the original thread:

Oliver Darden · April 28th, 2008, 04:26 PM

Oh ya, Canon was very quick getting this done.

Also, I have only done 1 test with the camera so if anything changes I will update you all. Thanks again for your help.

George David · April 29th, 2008, 12:26 AM

Whooah! That was cool. Love the story, editing, pacing, etc. Great job.

John Lofton IV · April 29th, 2008, 01:01 PM

Hey Oliver,

I like the overall look and feeling of your reel. You have some great shots. I also like the film flare effects. What camera did you shoot this with?

Also, the logo at the end was done really well! I kind of wanted the background to fade out as the logo stayed on screen, but that's just my 2 cents.

Check out my Demo Reel, thanks.

John

Congrats Barry!

The 48-hour judging can be fickle. Glad to see they picked a deserving winner!

Fine this time.

And I was just about to buy a new one for my home. I'll never be able to look at appliances in the same light again.

Very well done. Didn't notice the technical expertise because I was so involved in the story. That's what is meant to happen in cinema after all.
