Shot on the RED EPIC with minimal daylight left. A lot of the shots were filmed at 120 fps. A few were 60 fps. Vignetting was due to the fact I couldn't see anything when shooting wide (RED PRO 18-85mm T2.9 lens) on my monitor. Too chaotic to even care! But in the end I actually like the effect. You'll see our Cinestar 8 from Quadrocopter in a few of the shots filming with the Canon T4i.

In post I did a little bit of grading, but not much. Increased the mids and shadows a little on the night footage. There is a subtle diffusion effect using Magic Bullet Looks from RedGiant with a slight decrease in saturation and a simple S-Curve for the levels.

I love the slow mo dancing around 0:40+ goes very nicely with the song you selected. Nice grade, I liked that you didn't kick contrast all the way up either, and vignetting is not always a bad thing. Thanks for sharing !

Thanks! I struggled doing any grading at all. Only because the footage looks amazing just as it is... I can't believe it.
