I thought I would have a play today and see what new shots I can come up with prior to a corporate shoot we have tomorrow.

The result... we managed to achieve crane like shots from our GT 1 meter (and with the compact to a lesser degree).

I also tried a rolling shot. You can see a little teaser here.

Shot using a GT compact (car interior shots) and a GT 1 meter for the external and crane shots.

Have a read on the vimeo page for more details on how I did them including the rolling shot.

The Glidetrack blog also has a little pic on how I did the crane shot.

Great job Danny.... Did you use a preset on looks? or did you grade everything yourself?
Looks fantastic either way.

That 90 degrees thingy was neat!

Just used the Currahe default for this as it was a rush job. I also use some other preset filters that I use on all our movies.
