(theres now an option for youtube to watch in HD, should be right below the video.)


so for a class of mine... introduction to the arts... our final project was to make some kind of art dealing with redemption. Me and my friend trevan decided we would make a short film while out rock climbing in joshua tree. we spent about an hour filming the short, then spent the rest of the day climbing.

its nothing amazing in my opinion. some of the framing isnt so great... but yea its the story of a guy who goes rock climbing... gets lost(GPS isnt working)... then wonders across a road and is redeemed...

it was shot on a mixture of the hv20 and the fx7.

let me know what you guys think.

oh yea... no video online yet... but here are some stills...

i know the size is small... but soon ill have the HD video up on vimeo.

anyone have advice for outside intense sunlight shooting? for those days when it seems like thre is too much light? just tips maybe with shutter speed, aperture, and nd filters. which way is best? or is it all dependent on preference?

If its really sunny just crank up the shutter speed, but not too much unless you want weird artifacts in your image. (I don't go above normal, which is double the frame rate you're shooting in) Also, use those ND filters to block out some light and set your aperture accordingly to expose the image correctly.
