I had the privilege of playing with my friend's Epic again, so I tried experimenting with some more little tricks with pretty subjects. I'm really liking the combination of Epic w/Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 and Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR II, and the post combo of Premiere Pro CS5.5 and Redcine-X Pro w/Avid Artist Color. Everything was a breeze and joy to work with. :cheers2:

 
Very Nice...Care to share what you use for foreground glimmer?

-P
 
Yeah, would you mind sharing what you used to create those refractions in some parts of the frame, leaving the others alone?

Thanks.
 
Carefully crafted post work indeed. I personally keep a library of organic stock images that I have shot over the years to use for compositing in post. William may have even used retimed clips themselves as image masks for diffraction type of filters. All very dreamy. Lovely work.
 
Great work William. Dreamy, intimate, seductive, tasteful.

No post work. I just put glass in front of the lens and tried to hold it in a way that was pleasing. Making a library of elements sounds like a good idea, but I don't know how much I'd use this.

Totally plausible. Sometime the obvious answer is not so obvious.

I only say that cause you can see the edge in some of the shots and the streaking looks like when I shot through a clear plastic picture frame insert. It's just a guess though...

cool, was it a filter or just a piece of window glass or picture frame glass?

That's good to hear, I love the 24-70mm f/2.8 on my Scarlet and I'm going to buy a 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII next month. I guess we're the camp holding out for the Nikon mount! Working VR will be nice.

I'm using the Optitek mount and it's quite good. The RED one will be really expensive (more than the Canon) and I'm not sure how much I'll get out of it since I never use Autofocus.

Yes, I anticipate it to be rather expensive but I'm only using adaptor rings in the meantime and haven't invested in an Optitek system. I'm sure there would be times when autofocus could come in handy but the ability to use VR and know your f/stop are the main selling points to me.
 
wow, what a look, cooler than a lot of lensbabys shoots I´ve seen, congrats. You´re the Glass Knight ;-)
 
What a great look! I love the fact that you achieved it in-camera! Now wait, in about 10 minutes or so, someone is going to create a glass-in-front-of-lens filter for after-effects, but only give it a much cooler name. lol Thanks for posting, really an awesome look!
