Here's my 1st professional project with the C100. I tried to capture the atmosphere of the rum and the country of Martinique, a french Carribean Island. Filmed mostly in WideDR with these objectives: Samyang 35 & 85, Zeiss 50 Makro, Tokina 11-16.


I love this camera! Only missing for me a better photo mode, and 50p of course!
 
Awesome.
How much did you tweak in grading? The colors are really saturated, which works good for this "tropical" location.
BTW I saw you're the guy who shot Incubation, loved it back then!
 
Très bien!

Beautiful colors, very nicely edited!

How did you do the slo mo at 1:40?

Most importantly- how is the rum? :happy:
 
Merci!

The slow-mo is made with After-Effect time-wrap on a 25p GH2 videos (few machines shots were filmed with the GH2)

This Rum is excellent, one of the best in the Island :)

About +20/ +25 in saturation with colorista2, adding color and curves settings. Yes I 've chosen to push up saturation to create this caribean sunny-color-contrast mood.

Here's an another video (less saturated), for an another rum:

 
Very nice! I have three non-technical questions:

• How many shoot days for each video not including the travel days?

• Does the client give you a script or "must have" shot list? Or do they leave it up to you entirely as to what should be captured?

• How long did you have to wait for the hummingbird to appear? Did you add something to the plant to attract it? Or were you in a hummingbird aviary?

And a technical questions:

• Which jib/slider did you travel with?

Thanks!
 
Hi, thanks for your messages! And sorry for the late answer, I just saw your post.

I don't know because I use a lot of old rush I made for personal work. But probably 5 days of shooting per film + 10 days of editing for each.

The client gave me the global ideas, what they wanted. I wrote a synopsys to validate the way I wanted to go, describing the "story" and the aesthetic directions.

I made a lot of shots in a parc. I probably waited for it for 2 hours, noting to attract it.

I use a simple manfroto tripod 055xprob + fluid head 501HDV + slider GLIDETRACK HD.

I am impressed by the picture quality of the codec, I made some captures from C100 rushs (+color correction): http://www.flickr.com/photos/5mars/sets/72157642202207244
