Shot with a Canon HF100.
Inspired by "Another Morning Walk" by Charlie McCarthy.
Music: "The Anhtkythera Mechanism" by BT
Camera Settings:
- 60i. This allows for the best slow motion (As opposed to 30p or 24p).
- Shutter priority mode using maximum shutter speed (1/2000).
- Shallow depth of Field created by locking the focus to objects that are 1 to 2 inches in front of the camera (Macro focus). I don't have a DOF adapter, but will be getting one soon.
Post:
- Edited in Sony Vegas.
- Color graded in Magic Bullet Looks.
- Speed changes were done by manipulating the velocity envelope (matching the changes with the music done by visually observing the waveform of the music track and making the changes on the beats).
- Speeds were slowed down anywhere from 50% to 12% with smart resampling.

The whole video had such an epic feel and was perfectly edited to the music...Nice Job!
What did you shoot at? 60i?
I don't have a DOF adapter (although I really want one). The depth of field was created through locking the focus to a very close object (2 inches away from the camera lense or so)... Macro focus video. This of course won't have practical uses other than shooting very close objects... like it won't make sense to have somebody be 2 inches away from the camera.
Is the slow shutter effect purely from slowing down the clip? (velocity) or did you use another technique? Bravo!
superb
Honestly, its a lot of observing other people's videos, reading about how to do certain things from various sources around the web, trial and error, experimenting etc... oh yeah, and patience with yourself :)
Don't be afraid to experiment. Go crazy!
There is so much to look at in a flower meadow.
Stewart.
whats that sound?
Very subtle blending FX & cuts, nice speedramps (though they seem more to be jump-cutted, but anyway, GREAT), amazing colors, as well as the often mentioned depth of field. Every single element is contributing perfectly to the very intense atmosphere.
This is an outstanding work of art!
Thx for this very present!
All the best from Berlin!
and the track... american beauty?
For sure it is somewhat famous..
I actually only used Sony Vegas (for editing) and Magic Bullet Looks (for color correction).
The music track is a cut up version of "The Anhtkythera Mechanism" by BT from the "This Binary Universe" album. I love his work. Would definitely recommend everybody check out his work.
Nice work
That quick rewind at the end is simply.. Sick.
As for your question about MainConcept mp4 out of sync render, my quick guess and question would be, "Is the audio in reference recorded at 48KHz sample rate?" They're always main culprit for sync problems.
Visiting MainConcept's site on mp4 encoding I see it uses ISO/IEC 14496-2 or H.263 codec. Since Vimeo recommends the use of H.264 codec, I'd try using H.264/AVC Codec available from MainConcept to see if it'd fix the problem. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_2
Cheers and thanks for sharing this vid Sami!
And thanks for the info. You've pointed me in the right direction
and i love how one sec. its slow motion then speeds up
its adds flavor feeling into it
Good one , Godbless
The video and audio of the downloaded version are a little out of sync... something I'm trying to figure out how to fix. Seems like I can either get the downloaded version in sync or the online video in sync, but not both :)
