Hi Marty. I do 3 way colour correct some things. But mostly try and get it right in camera, rather than fixing in post. I don't think I colour corrected anything in this clip. Twixtor is worth the money for sure. Is hard at first to get your head around it, but does turn ordinary shots into interesting ones.

So the deep blues were bumped on the camera?

geez I'm slack. i never replied to you on this? Can't remember dude. No the deep blues are deep blue because I white balanced off the sand. And the sand on these beaches is pretty much yellow. or pale yellow. Got lucky this day though. Was crystal clear day. And had the x1. Can't go wrong. White balance and focus and you're sweet to go.

Twixtor is one of the best time remap plug-ins available. It enables you to speed up, slow down, or frame rate convert your image sequences.

Thanks Jan. The music is from Soundtrack Pro V 2.020 - composition called "Realization." The polarizer is a century from Schneider Optics. I have a matt box with 4x5 and 4x4 filter rack. The polarizer is a 4x4 circular.

I clicked the heart button because of the pelicans.

The Australian Pelican is rather large up close.

Here's some unsolicited info from the Australian Museum
austmus.gov.au/factsheets/australian_pelican.htm

For some reason I didn't realise Australia had unusually large pelicans. I assumed they were all over the world.

That's hilarious. Perhaps their dimensions are further exaggerated by the fellow who runs behind them?

Yea exactly. I meant to shoot it like that.
Ok, not really.....but is quite funny. Giant man eating birds.

Thanks matt.

Yea those crazy monkeys were eyeballing me waiting to strike. Lovely creatures when they don't bite.
Yes I get complaicent where I live. It's great.

They're brave enough to get close enough to BITE?!!! They are cool, I like the way they look like Pterodactyls when they fly.

Ta mate

Much appreciated Steva. I try hard. And love the ocean and to surf. So it is an easy thing for me to shoot. "Shoot what you know!" I say...

Cheers!

Thanks Rick. Appreciated. Yea since working as a filmmaker I have never been up sooo early sooo many times in my life. It's nice that thing they call a sunrise.

Thanks Rusty.
Wasn't sure if the last shot fit with the rest of the clip, but had to put it in there. They seemed to love the camera.
Go buy twixtor. It's worth the money and worth spending time to learn how to use it.

Cheers Blake...

Thanks Jay. I'm with you on that. I surf alot (if I'm not stuck on the beach with a camera) and I don't really like watching surf films with short boarders doing the same old tricks.
Cheers!

Have to agree, tough one as there was so many to choose from. Love it...

Thanks guys. Means alot.

Thanks mate. I was not sure whether to put in those shots.

Awwe! Thanks so much. Nice comment.
Hope Chicago is treating you well.

Thanks mate! Means alot.

thanks!!

Probably alot to do with the camera itself. Was shot on the EX1. I exported a HD master straight out of FCP, then opened with Quicktime Player and used the setting vimeo gives: vimeo.com/help/hd
The H.264 compression type is the best to use. Or the best I've used for sure.
Hope that helps mate.

Hi Marty. Did I send you settings already? Or did I forget?

Thanks Santi!

Thanks for the comments mate. Appreciated. Yep, it's a beautiful part of the world. Makes my job easier!
