there were some moments too ugly for the Vimeo audience!

not so fast.......there will be more.....................please blet there be more as i get the winter bedding back out again....dho

I did it last weekend, I hear we may have a sunny day in late September

bugger! - hope we have many more in between - hehehe :D

Great stuff once again and its always a pleasure watching your work - thumbs up :)

loads of different lenses, but mostly on a nikon 17-35mm f2.8 zoom, 80-200 f2.8 zoom and a sigma 135-400 f3.5-5.6 zoom

thanks, it's a favourite track of mine

Thanks Alister. I see what you did with my surname there you old wag you!

I was there a while from about midday till 630pm

like most of my shorts there is a cameo in there...and yes I did get wet for the sake of my art!!

actually a lot of them weren't actually English. All the people in the end credits, bar the black girl were Lithaunian. Am sure you can spot the brits in the rest but a lot of them were Polish and whether they would have preferred Bobby Darrin's version? Probably! But, being a half frenchie and half englisher I don't care!

nope. it was my feet stepping into the water!

what red shirt is that? can't see a shot with one? I think you meant my red waterproof coat from South Bank!

Thanks Daniel. Well apart from the film look, which is rather more "organic" and less harsh than video it gave me the ability to use a wide range of different lenses, like the 17mm Nikon and the 400mm Sigma. There actually was a lot of shallow depth of field, much more than you could get with the stock lens. You'd be suprised. I would like to one day do a short with two cameras side by side to show just how different the adaptor makes things look.

Charles Trenet wrote the piece on a train journey in the South of France and it was later rewritten in English and sung by Bobby Darrin "Beyond the Sea"

cheers Daniel

That's very kind of you.

Ah that was shot normal speed and I used the amazing slow mo plug in Twixtor at about 10% speed. It can have amazing effects on the right shot, the resolution becomes a little blurry sometimes and if things cross over it goes a bit weird. This is the slowest I have done one before.

Magic Bullet but tweaked heavily by me as the preset I used was way too saturated. Amazing how washed out the footage looked after I treated it.

Not sure about California. I hope so soon. Who knows!

Those were American tourists...kidding!

Cheers. Love to film in Innsbruck!

Cheers Danny that is what I was going for

Glad you liked it Bill. Amazing how little changes. A few more chavs than when you were there though I guess!

quite a lot. I will post some stills on my blog soon of treated vs untreated pics

Glad you mentioned that. Easily my favourite shot. They way they walked in time with each other was perfect.

Ah! the trick is don't have a small camera. My rig was quite large and I had Craig standing next to me most of the time so I didn't look like a pervert. If i had an HV20 and was sitting there filming people I would have got nutted. The more professional you look the less hassle you get. The opposite of most other places!

I asked permission of some people, with the 400mm I could get people from very far away being very natural!

Yes, this makes a lot of sense. Now, me with my HG10 (even smaller than the HV20!) will have to undergo a makeover then — do you think a heavily disguised cornflake box on top of it would do? :) (Or maybe a T-shirt with "Camera Crew"...)

I would go with a T-Shirt that says "Not videotaping young unsuspecting children... move along."

magic what? Time what? Whassthat?

but 00:48 kept it interesting

pervert

Maybe he meant 00:38, lets hope!

right, i didn't mean that!

... i meant 00:42

Thanks! I use FCP and Magic Bullet Looks

Hi Charles, The timelapse pan is really slow. About twenty minutes. Only the motorized head would do the trick.

Yes to Wally Dolly at the end. If you go to my blog you can read about my failed attempt to try a timelapse dolly shot, hence in the end just went for a reallly smooth and slow track back.

i did, it was the short oddly called "kew gardens", i just made it look greener and prettier

seriousy, that would be a challenge too far!

he was doing it for a good minute! could have done a short just on that!

cheers andy!
