Some clever camera work.. We'll probably see this in a sword fight scene soon enough!

How cool is that!

 

[Kwan Khan]

Nice

 

[Peter Mosiman]

WOW. that is insane, the ideas are already flowing. I want to make a short that involves this kind of stuff. Damn. Cool.

 

[paulherrin]

haha, me too. this reminds me of the shot in lock, stock, and two smoking barrels. i can see this as a character shot of someone going into battle... or somebody holding onto something in a tornado... i like it.

 

[Peter Mosiman]

After watching it 4 times in a row, my head hurts. so maybe not a whole short, just a few quick bits

 

[Ken Willinger]

I love my GoPro!

 

[Gunleik Groven]

Yup, that starts the mind running...

 

[Richard Foster]

Diverse camera angles and POV are important parts of our profession. Always looking for new ways to shoot things. Another interesting idea.

 

[PatrickW]

Nice.

Now I need a sword.

Besides the fact that I almost retuned my Breakfast on to my desk ( ;( ), been to long since my flip jet fly
experiences hehe, the idea is actually pretty col i deed, one more POV to the Arsenal of Filmmaking

Here is what I did with my GoPro to test out my flat port housing.

Hey Mark, saw X a while back.. Beautiful work. Are you based in LA now?

 

[Ace]

Someone needs to make a 3-4K version of the GoPro.. Ehherm.

I guess the Scarlet Fixed would be nimble enough for helmet/pole cam, in a magnesium version?

Thanks, Ace. Yes that was a fun movie to shoot. It was probably one of the first to be shot on the MX sensor, and it was so exciting being able to experience a whole new kind of cinematography ( all those largely available-light night scenes). Glad you liked it. I'm based in LA for now. In Sydney regularly, though.

I went shopping for a gopro today. All out of stock. It seems the walk off the shelves.
I'd love to buy one for my son. (4year old). I showed him the Gopro website this morning, and his jaw hit the floor. I think he'll grow out of his Spongebob Camera ( xmas gift - similar form factor) pretty soon.

Thats great, Cinematographer at 4! Never came to mind, but the GoPro is certainly an excellent child-proof learning camera.

X was exquisite, really. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGEpGkApdTI for those who are wondering)

I'm having a sea-change myself, moving with my partner to LA around April next year. Good to see fellow gum leaf mafiosi!
