April 21st, 2008 I took the ferry from Horseshoe Bay (North Vancouver) to Departure Bay (Nanaimo - Vancouver Island).

It was very windy out there on the water but the views were amazing.

I used the free Magic Bullet Movie Looks plug-in for color grading and I think it turned out quite good this time. Read / see this for more info on the plug-in: vimeo.com/1062707

    why it wobbles at 5:00 ?
  • [ PIXEL VIKING ] 6 months ago
    Extreme wind and a fully zoomed in camcorder is never a good mix. I've seen this before on other things I've done fully zoomed in - I think it might be the image stabilizer trying to fight the extreme conditions...

    That's what we call "The Rolling Shutter Effect"

    If that's purely from the MB presets, then I'm impressed. Loved the saturation at 2:47.

    The ferry left Horseshoe Bay at 9.30 in the morning, so the low sun helped a lot. I think I used a fast shutter speed too (maybe 1/1000th) that usually gives good results as well (if it's bright enough of course)...

    Nice, but the pans are not always fluid? Do you own a fluid head tripod and using the rubber band trick, or you are using the same one as for photography?
  • [ PIXEL VIKING ] 6 months ago
    It's a 'photography' tripod. I'll have to purchace a fluid head and rubber band later :)

    Which fluid head do you recommend?
  • Eugenia Loli-Queru plus 6 months ago
    Any that's meant for video and it specifically says that it's fluid, it should be fine when used with a rubber band.

    Shame about the rolling shutter on these CMOS cameras, if there's mechanical vibrations, it wobbles or skews the image. Using a CCD at a high shutter speed solves that problem.

    You did a terrific job of panning while at max zoom - smooth motion and level horizon. Those ferries pitch around a great deal. I live on Vancouver Island, so I know first hand how tough it is to get good video while onboard a ferry!
