7. Rotterdam by Night (EX1)
7 months ago
During the day Rotterdam is a busy city.
After the bombings in WO2 the city was almost completely demolished and because of this the city was resurrected almost completely in concrete and marble. The lights you see shining up at the end of the film is indicating the zone within what zone the bombs fell.
It's the only city with this kind of high rise buildings and large modern promenades in The Netherlands.
As soon as the night falls and the sun hides itself behind the concrete horizon; the city becomes quiet and desolate.
All of this was shot in two nights with the EX1 and edited in FCP. Only light grading done in post (some contrast here and there)
I also saturated some shots to make it look more desolate, sadly enough it also took the sparkle out some of the shots.
I am not sure about the edit, please comment on it, I have the feeling something doesn't fit or is missing...

P.S. What music did you use ?
nice exposure.
can only comment on your camerawork as its my job(not commenting-Camerawork), editing for me is a hobby.
Make sure if you have a tripod shot, its rock solid! if you have moving camera it should be obvious its moving. remember the thirds theory for composistion especially on wider shots.

The problem with my shots on tripod is mostly a financial one. I shoot using a simple photo tripod, not a proper video tripod. I have on in the planning, but still saving up for one.
By the way: it's the 'composition of 3's ': the eyecatching element in the frame is best placed in one of the 1/3th nodal points. (Sometimes rules can be broken... :)
Keep up the good work.
So keep an eye on the thirds... :)
I love all the help I can get, no one is too far advanced to not learn.
I tried use estabilization in post, i dont liked, lose much time and not stay the best. I make all what can to make during filming, try again, again.
Of course, i only do this when the work is professional work. When i playing, i not put fire in my head :)
Looking forward to more.
I like the usage of the Quick record you were using.
Good job.
How long have you been at the ramp at 00:30? It looks like some hours...
Thnx for the kind words,
For the ramp I used the overlay feature. So I filmed in the afternoon around 4 and then later I made sure I brought a card which had this single shot of the ramp on it. Then I went back to the ramp, only inserted this card and made sure they matched up.
The shot at the end is a lot more smooth if you download the source, Flash doesn't like heavy panning due to codec issues. This kind of heavy panning is pretty harsh to do anyways for any type of codec or compression.
Good job mate!
I have still been in December in Rotterdam, and return soon. Trendy city
