Film Obsession – Art of Flight Snowboarding Movie

My new obsession and I can’t stop watching it, talking about it and sharing it with friends. The new Art of Flight movie from Brain Farm is just a total senses overload, some of the most incredible snowboarding footage I’ve ever seen. Featuring incredible footage shot on the CineFlex HD, RED, Panasonic AJ-HPX3700, and [...]

Incredible Highlining & Base Jumping Video – Beautiful Filming.

An amazing video I have enjoyed in the last few days enough to share, a wonderful example of amazing footage shot high up in the world, beautiful colours and great choices of lenses… and obviously amazing content – those guys are just properly mental. If you’re scared of heights you may need something to grip [...]

New video for The Exotic Garden shot on the Canon 5DMK2

Will and I made a new video to show off some of the recent changes in his Exotic Garden in Norwich, this is still only the 5th small video i’ve ever made, so I understand it’s not the best, I’m a photographer, not a videographer – but I do like the challenge of learning new [...]

Beautiful video: Becoming (2009) by Wandering Eye

I came across this beautiful video on Vimeo earlier today, stunningly shot, composed and creatively directed, shot on the RED One camera by a group called Wandering Eye. Incredible use of a jib arm to get the smooth movement over the water at the beginning of the video, excellent use of shallow depth of [...]

Video: International pillow fight day in LA, filmed on the 5DMK2

Beautiful short video filmed on the Canon 5DMK2 by Will Goodan of thr international pillow fight day in central LA, some great shallow depth of field from the wide angle 24mm f1.4 Canon lens. I’m yet to try out my super wide lens whist filming.. can’t wait. Looks like great fun.. but an asthmatics nightmare!

Video: New adventures with Video | Canon 5DMK2

This week has been a steep learning curve, finally had some time to jump straight into 1080p HD video with my Canon 5DMK2 and other kit. Wow, a lot to learn, and then started up Final Cut Pro…. things then got a whole lot more complicated within seconds..
I took the logical step of spending a [...]

First test HD 1080p footage from the Canon 5D MK2

Started testing the Canon 5Dmk2 1080p HD video capability today & getting to grips with the camera, Final Cut Pro, MpegStreamer and everything else that goes along with it. I’m not claiming to know anything about video production, filming etc just yet.. but hopefully over the next year or so inbetween doing normal stills photography, [...]

Amazing stop motion animation from Patrick Boivin

Stumbled across some awesome stop frame animation today from Canadian Patrick Boivin, and as usual with film I’m quite slow on the uptake with this – as this ad has been around for few months already.
Nevertheless, it’s an amazing bit of work, it’s stop motion animation – and after watching the ‘how he did it’ [...]

Inspired: Photographer Vincent Laforet – from stills to video.

Vincent Laforet, the creative genius that as a by product of his creativity has probably sold more Canon 5D mark2’s than all the Canon sales reps put together. (Canon 5Dmk2 – one of the first generation digital SLR cameras with full 1080p HD capability, a technological landmark and turning point for the convergence of videographers [...]

Time to get up to speed with HD video… finally.

For the last couple of years my interest has been steadily been increasing for HD video and now it is reaching the critical point in my brain where I want (need) to invest some serious amount of time researching and coming up to speed with it all – I feel rather in the dark. Having [...]
