Just sharing a job I had fun with last month.

[Mark Toia]

Had one of those very rare shoots where the client & agency just let me go (so long as I stuck to the brief ) ...

Used Canon glass ( just for fun and to be a bit different)
Used the Shot over camera system for the Aerials.
Graded and finished it 99% out of my laptop...

And im not sure... but seems that every new build, the colour science is getting better and better.. Most of this is one touch grading. Almost perfect straight out of the box.

Anyways.. Just sharing.

Always great stuff Mark. Now we see the final ad with the hot air balloon shots you posted earlier. How long did the shooting on this project take you?

[Peter Stelzhammer]

very nice stuff!
How much CGI or post is involved in the shot at 00:47 (the dark thunderstorm/hurricane clouds)?

thanks!

Beautiful stuff Mark, I really think the reason I prefer Epic images to to other cameras is tonal quality, not DR per say but the way the tonality renders in highlight to shadow transitions and high contrast scenes, this vid is a perfect example of this.

wow. Nice stuff. Is the pebble real? Seems to send out sparks.

 

[Mike Poore]

that was really beautiful Mark, good to know something of this caliber can be made with canon glass and edited/finished on a laptop.
great stuff!

 

[Joseph Coleman]

did you do the compositing/vfx?

Beautifully executed. Great work!

Had a mate help me with a few shots, or did some as well, I needed a hand while I was off shooting another job.
But most of it is in camera. Including most of the balloons.

Mark this spot is fantastic. I love how you make it all look so easy. I know you are very talented and skilled, but I also like how you've made you're tools work for you. You are a master and adapting gear and technology to your needs.

 

[Rob Macey]

Eye candy as usual

 

[Rob Macey]

Simply great! Imagery and sound design, juxtaposed sequencing, developed beg.mid.end visually... Love it.

 

[Aleksei Gorodenkov]
