Premium Members Lawrence Karman Posted April 28, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hey guys glad you liked video. Sorry for jumping in late. Just returned from Nepal on gig for the last month (no steadi just operating...thank god!). I gaurantee I got it everytime. We shot over 3 days and had 1 16hr day that we actually got it the first time but the band was absolutely wiped off. They looked like they were about as thrilled as getting a root canal thru the whole thing. The second time we got it was one they used, not my best though due to damn machine. I almost got killed by Donkey Kong barrel after ping pong balls because of box being in barrel track (PA not quick enough to grab so he left it...thanks, I had to kick out of way.) Then by oil drum at end of shot that popped up different then the other 85 times we tried it. Just about took out my legs and I almost missed the end!!!!! Could you imagine missing the end after all that. The third time we got it the TV didn't blow and the bowling ball just missed it's target so Dan (band memeber) kicked the trigger for hammers and what not at the end. I'm actually emailing producer to see why I'm the fall guy:-( "Camera guy didn't get it"...come on man! Damian Kulsah is a great guy and creative genuis behind all you see here. We got it three times, band got it twice, machine got it twice but camera got it thirce baby! Nicely done! What camera/rig did you shoot it with?

Premium Members steve wagner Posted May 5, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 FYI, for those with Comcast OnDemand they have this up now. Looks great on a big screen. You can see the Op's reflection in the large metallic ball. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band owns the camera. Of course you could hardly see it under the all the "extras" (FIZ unit, Cinetape, Cam wave, etc...). Needed the extra weight though, camera is just a bit too light even with Anton Bauer brick slapped on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you use for follow focus? I fly the EX3 as well. It seems very well suited to my system (using some weight plates). Nice job on the video!

Premium Members Charles Papert Posted May 5, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 That's really nice, how the forum does multi-quotes now, very impressive...but guys, let's take the time to do some pruning when you respond, eh?

Premium Members Brian Freesh Posted May 5, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Yeah, thanks Charles. I realized I'd provided a bit of Over-kill right after I posted. But I got lazy and didn't fix it. Fixed now, but apologies. I've also noticed that the more quotes there are, the more likely someone buries their response inside of one, as Tom accidentally did. See ya guys later, I'm gonna go clutter up another board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Daigon Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) My humblest apologies ;-) Im going to go play with 64bit CS5 screaming on Snow Leopard. Edited May 5, 2010 by Tom Daigon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
