Who's Your Daddy! Strawberry Fields Forever - HDR

Visit our website: http://www.whosyourdaddymusic.com

**WATCH IN 720 HD PLEASE!** HDR is a new procedure for blending multiple exposures of digital video. Small examples of it exists, but not many- and not at length. This is our effort to further the process. Strawberry Fields Forever was shot using a tone mapping HDR process. Our search to match the psychedelic mood of the song led to the re appropriating of a 3D beam splitter rig and aligning two identical cameras on it to capture the same image (instead of off axis as is typical with a 3D rig). Once shot and edited, we used Aftereffects to combine the shots- using a custom process that worked most of the time- to create a look with more detail in the highlights and shadows. We encountered a handful of issues ranging from the size of the camera rig and inability to be mobile/or pull focus, to shutter sync issues and camera alignment, and even coming up with our own post work flow to effectively combine the video tracks. Once we more or less conquered these hurdles, the combined video clips were run through one more color treatment to balance out idiosyncrasies- and normalize shadows.

@xxbluejay21 - Not necessarily (did you watch it in 720p HD?). But in certain lighting situation- we definitely found the 2 camera approach to be a less than ideal solution. The greater the shadows- and contrast in the shot, the more difficult it became to combine the over & underexposed shots seamlessly.
