11 Year Old Freerunners + Scarlet-X

[Chad Bonanno]

Here is a fun project I shot with these amazing 11 year old twins doing some crazy flips and stunts , shot on a Scarlet-X and in my opinion, the dynamic range here saved the day since the lighting conditions were so bad and this was all run and gun guerilla style. Lots of fun!

Camera: Scarlet-X
Steadycam : Glidecam XR-4000
Lens: Canon 14mm 2.8/L mk2

Nice how did you slow down the footage?

Hey Thanks.

I shot this project at 3K 48 FPS, at a base timecode of 23.976. So basically all of the footage was slow motion, and I had to speed up all of the footage to 200% to get it to play full speed. In Premiere, I placed all of my shots on the timeline, right clicked > SPEED and put them all to 200%. At that point, any footage I wanted to slow down or speed ramp, I would change the speed BACK to 100%.

Fun video. I enjoyed it very much.

Very cool movie!
Were you able to fly the Scarlet very well on the Glidecam 4000? Was it feeling a little maxed out?

Hey Daniel, It was totally fine. In fact, I have gotten an Epic with a CP.2 on the exact same setup. While it does feel a bit heavy, its still functional. You must put more weight than intended to fly even a Scarlet , however.. So what I ended up doing was taking all of the weight plates that are intended for the TOP of the sled and mounted those to the bottom. Its rock solid plus the setup/balancing time ever single time I use it is less than 2 minutes. The Glidecam is Highly recommended!

The footage was great and the twins are very talented. The older gentleman in the crew picture looks like Tony Scott.

Very talented and YES that is Tony Scott =)

 

[Matt Ryan]

Are those Tony Scott's kids?

 

[Will Keir]

They great! Good use of editing for spontaneous/on the fly camera moves/action. Super creative, gutsy kids. The wall push off to front flip is something I gotta try

Amazing job! Great edit/music choice and visuals.. The compression through Vimeo sucked though!
