City Lights with the XHA1 and Letus Extreme

I don't know what it is but every time I go to Brackendale in Canada to watch the bald eagles up there, I always end up doing some weird city at night piece. I guess it's one of the few trips where I actually go through a city so it gives me an excuse to shoot something different. In this case, it's Vancouver BC.

Anyway, this is a pretty similar opening to another film I did, also called Brackendale but I can't help myself :)

I may or may not use this as an intro.

The shots with the long light trails and long blurs were shot with the shutter set to 1/6th, with the native lens, no Letus. The rest was with the Extreme. All at 24f. Lenses used: Nikon 50mm f1.8 and Nikon 100mm f2.8

EDIT: Made some changes and uploaded a new file.

Also, I realized that my batteries were pretty weak in the Extreme so you may see some gg in one or two shots and I think I was just out of juice.

Some pretty heavy color correction done in Premiere Pro CS3.

Enjoy.

hey, i like it. it has that gritty feel to it and the music makes it attractive... feels like "the movie" is about to start.....
 
Did you use a preset on this Disjecta? I love the beginning. The cold look to this is spot on. Looks like it could be in some intense government conspiricy film... FTW!
 
Wow, nice music!
I searched google for the componists but couldn't find any info.
The look is cool to, the open lens effect is a bit to mutch when you ask me.
