Just a bee (t2i Test)

A rather lengthy video of a bee, shot with a 100mm/f2 lens on manual focus. Just testing the dSLR video workflow. I first converted the video to 2.5x slomo by remapping the framerate from 60fps to 24fps. Then used deshaker to stabalize the footage, and finally applied some level tweaking.

That's sweet, Mike! You must have held your breath during this shot. I was hoping to spot some DeShaker errors but found none (with my eye), really impressive. I should get one of those 100mm F2.0 lenses too! Yay. Nice, Mike. ;)

@rey123sss You can see a deshaker doing something really strange (a zoom?!) at 1:11.

such a powerfull camera! Nice Job in post production.

@snake07128 Yeah, for the fully-postprocessed segment, skip to 0:50

Did you use the DeShaker plugin for VirtualDub? Those are some great software results! Beautiful shot as well. :)

@AniCator Yup. I used deshaker to remove the camera shake.

Have you tried the GSoC Blender branch for stabilization (if I'm not mistaken is the tomato one)?

some music while we gorge ourselves with 720p footage please. :)

Great shots. Are you using an open source workflow? I didn't spot AE or FCP mentioned in the comments, and I'd love to know a bit more about it if you were. I want to get around to buying a proper DSLR at somepoint and doing some video, but having to fork out for a whole bunch of editing software (and possibly a non-free OS) to run it on rather puts me off.

Great work !!! : )

To get these shots you would have to 'bee' quite patient ;D
