So my roommate stole my camera for a day when he went to some amature race event in NH. here are a couple grabs.

He's currently cutting a short reel, which i'll post later.

Good editing .... ;D Your roommate has a good eye for shots, just not very steady. Use a 15lb. weight held like a camera for 1 hour a day. ;D

Re: A day at the races

Well, Hunter said it all. I agree.
Reminds me of my friend, probably the only person in the world who would get away with *repeatedly* stealing my camera..(did't he also take it to NYC with him?).
I didn't care at all for what he was shooting, but I can't say it better than Hunter--his eye is the star of that clip. Freakin raw potential. He'll be a HUGE asset to any of your upcoming projects...just get the man a bloody tripod already!

it's clear that he knew what he wanted, and he was consistent in getting it. I'll repeat again that I didn't care AT ALL for the cars...LOL...but you can't help but realize that the guy must have used up at least a whole tape getting the shots he wanted. That's what I look for in a DP...it has nothing to do really with learned skill, but with where his mind is, and what he's going for...gaffers can help him get there.

Funny thing is, he only shot 20 minutes of tape. He's got ADD so whatever catches his eye, he shoots. I think his real tallent is in editing. He and i make a good team, he'll start something, and I'll bounce ideas off him, then he puts it all together.

I'm working heavily on the Region Stabilize plugin in Avid Xpress Pro, and i hope to clean up some of those shots. I'm also nearing the end of my 3 week trial of Genarts Saphire Plugins... so we need to finish that piece up.

Yeah, we need a stabilizer. I'm thinking of a Varizoom Flowpod... any experiance?

Next time... We'll have some POV footage going along the course. The other race car has a camera mount. (the car ain't mine... :-[ )
