National Film Challenge
 

Hey guys.

I previously competed with a team at the National Film Challenge. I wanted to share my blog entry and a video with you guys and would love it you would comment on what you thought of it, either on the blog or in the thread.

Louis Maddalena Whoa! What a weekend! (National Film Challenge)

Thanks for watching :)

Louis Maddalena

great! very nice performance video. Do let us know what gear you used.

Thanks everybody for the feedback, much appreciated. We used 2 sonyZ1's with a red rock M2 on one camera and a P+S technik mini 35 system on the other. Most of the footage is from the redrock. Prime lenses included a 50, a 25, and a 35. We also had two Nikon zooms. Lights included an Arri 1k hmi, two blondes, and two redheads. Tracks were a suitcase dolly. Crew of three, myself, the DOP and a grip/gaffer.

Will work for Food

Civil War Fans
 

I finally got around to posting a higher-than YouTube quality version of this mini-doc I did a while back. My wife is a history buff, and I love shooting...so I got her to act as my producer at a Civil War re-enactment in Roaring Camp (Santa Cruz). Great location, great weather. It was so much fun, I went back a 2nd day to pick up some more interviews. Everyone was super-cool, signed release forms..no questions asked! I guess it helps when you've got a DSR-390 on Vinten sticks.

They offered to put me in uniform and let us take part...but the last thing I need is another hobby/obsession. Its a tick over 10 minutes, so I understand that not everyone will have the patience to sit through it. For those who do, I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks!

I like it a lot, Oren. You have some pretty and creative shots in there, plus the interviews, for the most part, kept my interest. “General Lee” was my favorite and wow--does he look like him! I'm glad you showed the comparison.

Love the shot of the flag...

The only thing I would like to have seen is a wide or panoramic view of the battlefield besides the one at 4:38. I guess I wanted to see how it looked with both sides on the field.

There were a couple of great points made in two of the interviews that I want to keep in mind, so I'll be watching it again.

Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

the first all cellphone music video shoot with 30-nokia n-95!!
 

hi

YouTube - ????? - "???? ?????" - ?????? ????'?? ?????

All your videos are very nice and artistic! I admire your work!

What kind of camera are you using plus software to edit? Mac I bet right?

It looks cool, good job!

FYI, Gary Oldman directed an all-cellphone music video (using N93's) for the Jewish rap group Chutzpah.

That's really cool. It looked like you were switching the video live on screens at the same time? Must have been fun planning the logistics of everything.

How many camera operators did you have? I saw that you had an array of them set up to get that 'spin-around' shot - couldn't you use a crane for that?

Very nice editing.

Thank you, but you would be wrong. I'm using Premiere CS3 (although an older version was used for that particular video). I like building my own edit system from components....can't do that with a Mac.
This video was shot with Sony's DSR-390, which was my workhorse until I got the XH-A1. The images from that camera are just beautiful.

1st Glidecam 2000 attempt....
 

So, I just got this Glidecam 2000 like a couple hours ago, and I wanted to give it a try.
I attached HV30 since my primary cam is XH-A1, and I am getting more and more impressed with quality HV30. Because HV30 is very light, I had to put some weight on the middle plate somehow.. I need to place them a little neater, so the glidecam doesn't look homemade.
It's very wobbly so if you get motion sickness easily, I strongly recommend you not watching it, LOL!
I put some slow mo and fast mo with twixtor here and there just to see what direction I wobble the most.
I think circling around is somewhat easier to maintain than walking straight line (or walking in one direction). I am glad I started working out again in the gym, cause I am gonna need those muscle!

Thank you and comments/advice/concerns are always welcomed!

Fantastic editing.

How many phones did you have to use?

I think he used 30 nokia n-95's
