Hi Mike

I'm actually using Apple Final Cut Pro 5.02 - This is how I'm doing so far(Maybe it's inevitable to get a small blend between the frames with such massive slowdown?) The clip is 1.4 mb and in H.264 :

Michael, that was really great work--do you mind me asking what a couple pays to get a wedding video like that?

If you do mind you can answer these other questions instead... :)

What are you flying your fx1 on? (other than a lot of talent and practice)
What were you using as a crane?
Was there any software stabilization added to your flying work?

I'm also looking forward to your procedure list. Twixtor should be paying you... I'm getting out my credit card right now.

Again, great work.

Hi Daniel, I use a modified Steadicam SK2 (dual arm, more like a Provid) did not use any software stabilization ( The steadicam is smooth, but any flaws are easily made up with slowing the footage down.

I made the crane, it is pretty easy to make, fits on a tripod and goes up about 10 feet or so, fisheye really makes it look a lot higher.

The video is part of the complete package (around $2500 american) rehearsal, ceremony, reception and a highlight video. Thanks everyone for the kind words on the clip.

Mike
