Why did you need four cameras? When can we see the video?

huh

huh

exactly my question...i dont get it.

What on earth did you need four cameras for? (echo).

Err, I mean they're all next to each other. Maybe if they were spaced out then I could see some kind of special effect coming. What's up?

You got a'lot of splainin' to do.

I'm equally baffled. Whats with all the cams?

Nice stills btw.

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

Well, if they were at all different focal lengths it would give you some nice editing options in post, i'm sure.

 

[ChrisForbes]

or differant frame rates maybe?

The set photos were done by my girlfriend with a Nikon F5 and a 15mm Sigma, usually used with my M2.

The effect is subtle, actually I haven't really seen it yet. The director has done tests and was confident enough to do the shoot. Thank god I'm not keying and editing this one.

Either I or the director will post the results when the video is up.

Here are pics from the test shoot. The angles and setups were still being figured out.

Also we were going to do different playback speeds, but shooting real time was the only way to finish the shoot on time. Plus it gives the editor a break.

:kali: :crybaby:

So what did you use the 4 cams for?-Those stills are super.

 

[LloydC]

are the 4 camera's for a specific effect?

definitely interesting what it'll turn out like...

Maybe he's after the look of this video:

BTW, this was also done with several DVX100 on a huge grid.

I was thinking that exact same thing--

But my example was the American Eagle commercial where the people are partying. Same effect.

That's probably what it is.

 

[Slimothy]

could that be effective w/ only 4 cams?

 

[inspire84]

hmmm

hmmm

That was my initial thought too, with the Gondry video. Saw that video a while back. Good stuff. The Gondry's are just too genius though. I figured that but then again it looked like the cameras were all at the same angle (none were rotated like a semi circle).

Also another video that did this effect i believe was a DMX video where it motion blurred all around his head etc. Joseph Kahn directed it i believe. I'm interested to see how this turns out. Hmmmmm
