[isaidwombo]

What editing program do you use?

[kalaniman1movies]

@isaidwombo Final cut pro, albeit this video was edited with the little brother of final cut pro - final cut express.

No problem, good luck with your entry.

[kalaniman1movies]

Indeed.

I hypothesise over 1000 entries this year, considering all the advertising campaigns on television etc.

All the more competition the better.

A brief synopsis of your film please?

[kalaniman1movies]

Indeed.

I have just finished shooting my film, and am now narrowing down my 9 hours of footage into a 7 minute film.

[gavinms]

How did you get the Sony HD SR-12 to do a time lapse?

[kalaniman1movies]

I filmed my scenery for a long duration of time (30 minutes or so) then simply speeded it up with final cut in post. Voila

[RenoStudiosInCalgary]

Thanks for sharing. Do you figure it out if you how to timelaps with pan?

[rainarzufall]

I have the same Camera and its a very good camera for the price of 1000 Euros.

you can make excellent Videos in AVCHD

Holy cow. I am not joking. I have this EXACT same song on a record from 1986....It's my favorite record, and I didn't even search for this song.

Besides that point, I too have an SR10 and carefully working with it to get used to its interface, color, contrast, brightness and f-stop controls. I'll post something soon regarding it.

[RET80]

OH and also, how in the world did you get the long exposure with the clouds? is there an option for exposure intervals? or did you just leave it recording and increase the speed like 1000% in post?

[kalaniman1movies]

you can manually alter exposure in the camera settings. I colour corrected and increased the speed in post to 4000%.

thanks for watching.

[surfandsk8]

You have great scenery where you live. I'm jealous XD

[bigloner]

This is good but I must admit that I miss the original video.

[kalaniman1movies]

dont we all. Unfortunately, the original was lost, along with several other kalaniman1 blockbusters. You will all be pleased with the film I am working on now.

[bigloner]

Let me guess, you kept no back-up copies of the videos. I have found that this is very common with youtubers

[kalaniman1movies]

i have learnt my lesson.

[bigloner]

LOL

If you like doing pull focus shots here's something to consider. The more the iris is open the more shallow depth of field (DOP) is which means less items are in focus (vice versa for closing the iris, everything becomes focused). Thus, buy ND filters to open up the iris of the camera and you'll get improved results. This stratagy works great with cameras like ours because the chips/sensors are so small (1/3'' or 1/4'' in size).

[kalaniman1movies]

thanks for the tip.

do you know where to get filters for hdr sr?

[retardwatch]

great vid :p, i like the focusing in certain shots, like the slow zoom-out at 2:39 to 2:50, and i also like the time lapses, pretty good vid, 4 stars :)
