Julie's MFA Show on Vimeo
I compiled some random footage from my girlfriend's MFA show and I thought it was a good opportunity to learn Premiere. The thing that took the longest was converting the footage from 30p to 24p. I don't really care about the 'film look' aspect of 24p, I just really hate the way vimeo butchers 30p footage.
I'm in the middle of building a rig based on redrock's shouldermount so yes, I won't be handholding forever
.
Potentially useful technical details:
-5d mkii set to neutral -4 contrast -1 saturation
-24-105L with stabilization on is what I use 95% of the time, the rest a 50mm 1.4
-Sound straight from 5d's mic and a little bit of Sennheiser MKE400. No adjustments aside from gain.
-On a Core i7 w/ 6 gigs of ram and 2 Velociraptors raid 0 I couldn't edit the files natively. I tried Cineform but couldn't get it to work, so I ended up with 720p Lagarith which would be smooth for about 30 seconds before it got choppy. It was workable but annoying, so in the future I'd probably work either with 720p uncompressed or with 480p Lagarith proxy files. The latter if space was an issue or if I wanted to render to 1080p.
-Light color correction
-24p conversion done in After Effects with Timewarp (motion blur on 180 degree shutter). Took 6 hours to render 5 minutes. Also tried Twixtor which was 3x faster but it has a slider for motion blur instead of a shutter setting like Timewarp. In the future I'd use Twixtor over Timewarp if I can find a motion blur setting that I like... So much work for Vimeo's idiotic policy
and some random creepiness: http://vimeo.com/3427570
