Powder Mountain Perspective on Vimeo

Ok.. well how about this one then...

That's better. The first one reminded me I'm not young enough to do Utah powder anymore.

I've been saying that a small camera with a big chip would change everything for years.

How did you mount the camera? Were the guys just holding it while skiing like that?

Great ski video. The wide lens was perfect for the task. What rolling shutter?

I would have liked to have seen the original, pre-Vimeo footage.

Meh, I shot the same thing at Big White last weekend...

...except Big White hadn't had snow in 3 weeks and sucked... so it just left me pissed off. :)

Love both of them!
Powder Mountain was awesome--the only problem now is that I want to buy that fish eye lens!!

Are you downloading the originally uploaded video? It's obviously not the source shots, but it's WAY BETTER than watching it streamed off vimeo. Anything that you really want to watch on Vimeo should be downloaded this way IMHO. The difference can be seriously dramatic, if not just because the 30p to 24p stutter goes away (I think). Which by the way is why I hate Vimeo for 5D2 footage, that 24p thing just ruins every streamed video IMHO.

There's a link to a "de-fished" version too which makes it look even faster.

Thanks for the tip. That's MUCH better.

I'd bet a lot of people see the Vimeo streaming version and think that the 5D MkII codec is crummy. Frankly, it holds up great. The download and streaming versions are night and day apart.

For streaming, I personally don't understand why more people don't render out a downrezzed version of their footage (say 640x360 or so). It'll stream well and run smoothly at 30p. Also, and I've said this before, I think Blip.tv is way underrated. If you render a swf directly off your source at 640x360p30 at under 1mbs, you can upload that to Blip and they'll just stream the exact file you uploaded (no transcoding). I haven't found any other site that won't transcode, let alone a 1mbs file (I think there are a few that won't transcode really low bit rate files, maybe even youtube, but blip.tv rules IMHO).

Here’s one that I found yesterday.
