  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

I shot my brother in law in the dirt pit.

He likes to ride his bike and I very much enjoyed shooting him :)

Edit now with new music, that Alec composed himself.

Looks GREAT. I totally wasn't expecting the double...
 
Was this with FDs? Looks *really* good.

Care to let us know how you did the double up? I'm assuming you had to punch in so as to keep the frame from moving… Lots of tracking for the double so as to stay lined-up with the original frame (even though playing in advance.)
 
BaddAss! How you do the Double?? Come on . . . dish
 
Thanks for the kind comments. I shot it hand held with the epic and hawks. So Bob is right there is no moco involved.

The "double take trick" is simply some retimed camera projections. So 3D tracked the take as a pan/tilt/roll and then projected the same take back ontop if itself with and offset.So no need to crop in or such as long as the original take has the rider completely in frame it's very possible to add in as many instances as wanted. The only limitation is if there is a lot of paralax in the scenery then it of course will not match up. But I only used the clutch and no tripod / labda head or such the little offsets that occur form having it hand held is quite easy to even out but a nodal head would occurse make the masking and such a bit easer since then I could have used more accurate difference matting etc.

Also the hawks are pretty far from being rectilinear so it's off course a bit easier to use lenses that are more mathematically correct.. but then on the other hand I would not look the same, as I love the combo of slomo and wide anamorphics and shooting towards the sunset. Such setup even makes the scrappiest dirt lot look cool :)


The double thing was actually one of two tests we done for another project. Here is a link to that other test I think that one kind of shows more whats going on... Even though the 3D track is a bit weak in this one, as I did not bother to run it trough syntheyes and just auto tracked in flame.. so a bit of jitter, but nothing that could not be dealt with.

We graded and comped the whole Bike thing in flame in full 4k. The Seiki screen is ordered and on it's way, should get it in a few days, can't wait to see how things like this looks in 3840pixels wide.

Thanks man,
I really like that one aswell. Must say the agency where pretty brave, not to many would go for that concept when their client ask for a "grill week commercial" :)

What's the loose translation to English of the caveman dialog?
