Standing among the giants at the 2011 Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic, this short movie shows the successes and failures of those who attempt to defy gravity. Captured with a Canon 5D Mark II and edited in Final Cut Pro X. Movie by Derrick Story.
Hi Derrick, found your site searching for reviews of the Macbook Air and the Canon 5D Mark II. Was wondeirng if computer was capable of editing HD video. Thanks for the review and this video. I've done multimedia stories in the past and I have a few bits of advice you can take or leave. 1) Make it shorter: With the amount of content on the web and the short attention span of audiences your content has to be stellar for someone to watch it for more than a minute. 2) Speed up. 3) Vary the shots.
