Sorry I can't get the video to embed.

Some dailies put to a quick edit for an in-progress project. Trying to make a cinematic skate film Probably about 50% done with the shots, but still need to shoot quite a bit more.

Footage is un-graded / un-treated straight out of camera. I shot it with Cinegamma 1. I'm always torn between Cine 1 and Cine 4, that's why I'm excited for the S-Log 2 as it bridges those 2 profiles (at least from what I've seen). Actually shot some stuff at 480 fps which works really well as long as the shot has shallow DOF.

This project really highlights the usefulness of the slow motion, which lends itself well to skate cinematography. With the slow motion for the right project, you just cannot elicit the same type of feeling and drama from any other camera in the FS700 price range. Shoot something like this at 24fps and it would have way less impact IMO.

Thanks and I will post the final project when it's done.
 
Very nice work and a lot more interesting then most other skater videos. You've got a good eye and I like the dynamics with tracking/jib etc.
 
This is some great work. The wide, dutch-angle shot at :25 is just breathtaking - I love the lines formed by the road/raised roadways and pipes.
 
Gene That was awesome. I wish it was summer here in Australia. It is so hard get out there and shoot stuffs when it is freezing here.
 
looking nice Gene! Im sitting in my condo and sipping sangria waiting for my camera to come back from the upgrade then im back into business. Are you going to do the update?
 
Hey freshTEA, I am going to do the update. Just finished a shoot yesterday and I have a Motion Graphics job for 2 weeks (aka, sitting on my butt), so I figure it's a good time to drop it off at the Sony Service Center in LA. I cannot wait for S-Log 2.
 
Good to hear about the update! Keep us posted! I for one get inspired to shoot more.
