Lutwyche Cemetery

First test footage of my Merlin Steadicam at Lutwyche Cemetery in Brisbane, Australia. Camera used was a Canon Vixia HF200 with a WD-H37II wide angle converter. Video was edited and colour corrected in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. No post stabilisation was applied, although the video was slowed by about 33%. The music is an original composition.

I've been using a homemade stabiliser (from Killer Camera Rigs) for a while now, but the Merlin Steadicam still demands a fair bit of practice. Once you finally balance your camera with it, it handles really nicely and is obviously well made. Takes effort but is well worth it.
