ATV ride, the sun and my friend. dvx100a & the sgro..

[tommetass]

Hi there

My friend and I went on a ride on his ATV. We actually planned on a location "hunt" for our lightsaberfilm, but the weather was really nice so we figured.. why not shoot some nice and cosy footage with the incredible SGpro..


So this is, as I said, just some "feel good" footage that I wanted to share

I hope you take some of your time to download it.
And really I hope you like it!


(Recommended to watch with VLC player)

Of course I managed to flip the gain swith to M unconsciously (is that spelling correct?)... So half of the footage was affected by that.

Some grabs: (The green line does not appear on my computer at home..)

getting familiar with that SG, very nice. awesome sunset shots.

 

[ryan brown]

Looking really good. Yeah, it definitely seems like you've gotten the hang of the SG. Much sharper than the last one's...

hellova load time, though... I almost cancelled out of it, but luckily, I needed a smoke, and when I got back, it finished DL'ing.

Song name?

 

[Robbie Comeau]

It's by Mogwai Ryan.

 

[tommetass]

It's by Mogwai Ryan.

No this is acutally "Sigur Rós - Fer"...

Thank you so much for the nice comments

 

[Robbie Comeau]

WOW! The drums sounded JUST like Mogwai.

Nice colours there tommetass.
But in risk for being an ass, I think that backfocus still can be better. Which is a good thing = you can by tricks make your footage look even better.

Again nice lights and DOF.

Really nice footage! Love the handlebar shots
Seems like there are reocurring jackets in our films

H&M ikkesant? Hennes er jo bare best for fattige studenter og sivilarbeidere hehe

 

[Smettli]

You got that right!

 

[Smettli]

What did you use for color correction in this piece?

 

[tommetass]

I used magic bullet looks in premiere pro..

I just pushed the contrast and gamma like crazy..

 

[Smettli]

Yeah, i usually harass the contrast and gamma as well

 

[connorfilm]

wow. that stuff over the water looked fantastic.

Your weather there is always looks fantastic on video.

What did you shoot for the slow motion?

 

[deckardScott1980]

what lenses were used? and what effect does pushing gamma create?

Thanky you
I shoot in 50i with a shutter of 1/120, then I slow it down (200%) in after effects.




This was only my Canon FD 35mm f/2.0


And I'm not exactly sure what the gamma does.. but to me it seems like it pushes the colors, but also makes it darker..
