Looking for a 4 or 5k shot of the moon!

[Ferret Lady]

Hi guys. I'm looking for a quick shot of the moon, shot in 4k or 5k, to use in my film Jake & Jasper: A Ferret Tale. The film was shot mostly on the Epic but there's some stuff on the Red MX as well, so either 4k or 5k would be perfect.

I know you can buy stock footage, but I thought this might be something someone would like to to quickly grab for me in exchange for the IMDB credit on the film!

Check it out here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2097866/

Anywho, just a simple shot of the moon, a full moon would be nice. Clouds passing by. Could be the view looking up from a forest so you see trees (action is in the forest).

Any takers?

Gah, I know! What bad timing I have. I am looking for video, not a picture, however. Just to clarify.

I'd just use a photo and do clouds real quick with fractal noise in After Effects!

Well I don't have a 5K image of the moon or the knowledge of After Effects to make clouds! (actually I don't have after effects at all)

If I can find a shot of the moon/clouds etc I'll rustle something up in after effects when I have a spare hour or so. No promises but.

If this is going to be finished in 2K would a 2k shot not work if you are in a pinch?

If you can do it that would be great! I think we'll be locking picture on Monday so if its after Monday, don't worry about it. We can live without it but I think this will help us out a lot.

And yes I guess you're right, a 2K image would work as well!

Another option would be to shoot a time lapse with a DSLR.

 

[Ferret Lady]

then we're talking 1080 arent we?

 

[David W. Jones]

Absolutely not! A full resolution raw image sequence time lapse from a high quality DSLR will meet or exceed the images from the Epic or MX you used to shoot the rest of your film with.

OH you're talking about IMAGES. thought you meant video. gotcha.

 

[David W. Jones]

Yes images shot as a time lapse. For example a 5DmkII can shoot 5616x3744.

 

[Ferret Lady]

yep that would work! you up to the task, David?

 

[David W. Jones]

I was going to take a crack at it for you the other day but we had sever thunderstorms move through.
The problem you are going to have now is the moon phase we are in.

it would be nice to have, and i figured an easy imdb credit for the camera op, but if we dont have it by Monday I guess we will have to live without it!
