Stabilization in post (demo)

Deals in Lead
I am currently doing some post work for a small indie film, and several scenes needed to be stabilized. The director was adamant on set about not wanting the feel of a tripod and banned them from the production. However, a few shots came out a bit too rough.

I put together this demo today to show what post stabilization could look like while keeping a somewhat organic and non-static feel...

Particulars:

Shoot offhand
Canon 5D
Lens is unknown

Software: Virtualdub
Filter: DeShaker v2.4
Params: Available upon request
(this filter is also notable because it deskews cameras with rolling shutters.)

The filter is a plug-in to a larger program called virtualdub. Virtualdub is an AMAZING PC based program with an open architecture. It's basically a proving ground for lots of high end programs before they turn commercial. Like everyone is so over the moon about Neat video. That was a free plugin, and we can still do essentially the same thing for free in Virtualdub.
