Can we expect a new DOP class in the future then?! How to shoot in a low flying chopper being the main topic of the course?

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

It is so nice to see Ted hands-on.

Mike, that shot of the trees is spectacular in its balance, simplicity, and sheer degree of normalcy. It's like there is nothing weird about it, hehehe. Wow.

I am starving for HDRx motion. Can't wait to see what you are putting together!

I'll skip the quiz and ask a counter question: Who makes that gyro?

Mini Gyro by Tyler. Excellent rental rates.

The tree shot looks absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see more.

I noticed some solarization in the lens flare. It looks like the X track got data, but since it was in the flare, it was desaturated in comparison to the M track. I wonder if there would be a way to measure the color/saturation of both images and keep the data with the most saturation. Out of my depth here, and it will be interesting to see how the HDRx™ processing develops over time.

Thank you Mike for posting.

As a bit of perspective, here's a bit more of the scene with Stu that I filmed from the co-pilot seat earlier today
