The Pool

Okay I am no pro, but a few comments...and even a question or two.

First off, I am not very surprised at this. Every time I go in the "footage" section of the forums, there are a few names I see/watch that never disappoint. Your on that list.

Secondly...the colors? All I can say is WOW. Was that shot on a 7D? Cause I wish you would share your secret. I have a 7D (and a 1D MKIV) and I can't make either one of them look like that. My wife is growing tired of hearing me say it too!!

Thirdly, I really liked the camera movements. Some kind of jib/crane I assume? If you tell me you used a DP Slider I am gonna really be furious, cause I have one of those too, and I have not mastered the vertical moves at all. So do tell? How did you do the crane like moves?

Anyway...very nice. The pool is not bad either :-) That pool is familiar...I think you posted some footage of it awhile back didn't you? Just after it was completed maybe?

Regards,

G.
 
I agree with the comments above. Great video.

Surely the commercial will be much shorter with a selection of the best parts of this video? Cause right now it's way too long for my attention span.

Also, watch the bumpy movement. Most of the takes in your video suffer from some sort of disturbance which distracts me from the subject.
 
Thanks guys! Yes I did use a crane as well as a mini indislider (and Papa ..the bumpy movement, as its a piece of crap). This was showing the client all the best clips.. we are only going to use some of them. As far as color grading. I use sony vegas pro and do it in secodary corrector corrector. But I strongly believe the mistake alot of people make (Thanks Philip bloom LOL) is to shoot on those real flat settings. You loose the blacks and that is the key to have great color. I use my own custom setting for vivid color. I had the same issue as ProAmature shooting very flat in Vegas.
 
neat colors for sure!

The bumpy movement is very distracting. So will this be a commercial for pool construction?

I agree on the length, leave them wanting more. YOu could easily cut a solid :30 second clip or even 1 min from that.
 
This was to show all the clips. We are only going to use 1/3 of them. And yes it will be for there website as a pool contractor. It will be tied in with customers talking and the owner giving his sales pitch..Stuff like that.
