  • 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 :)

Riding Footage

nice stuff!

what were your compression settings?
 
Great fun!

Holy &%$#!!
 
Very nice footage indeed.

I did see quite some horizontal artifacts in it. Is that because of compression to a smaller Quicktime version? Is my laptop not able to keep up with it? I assume that is not in the original footage right? And if that is correct, what is the sort of output (filesize, type of compression) that would not show these kind of artifacts yet would still be able to play on todays equipment? I'm afraid we will have quite a few of our clients asking questions about this and I am a bit in the dark on this..
 
The primary grade will be done in Smoke....thats just a first draft to show the client a rough look. Final will likely be a mixture.
 
Nice work Greg! The sides of the wider shots looks soft, did you use vintage lenses or is it a post effect ? Either way I like it and it feels right for the piece.

Wow, this looks really terrific!

Two quick questions:

1) On the shot of the older biker (around :05-:06) there are vertical light streaks bleeding in on the top and bottom. Was that deliberate (maybe done in post?), or was it something with the camera?

2) The high pan down to the group of bikers (around :12) seems like it had a little wobble to it... was that just how it was shot, or is this an example of the "rolling shutter" issue I've been hearing about?

#2 looks like a zoom pull during the pan&tilt, in fact the very next shot would have been a perfect example of rolling shutter artifacts - if there were any artifacts at all. There aren't.

Sounds like your computer or video card isnt keeping up.

1- post effect
2- combo of several things; post pan and scan, camera zoom, bumpy road, shot stabilization.
 
Thanks! Glad to know those weren't camera issues. Again, it looks fantastic... I'm surprised we don't see more biker movies ("Wild Hogs" notwithstanding, ahem), it seems so appropriate for cinema.
 
Greg,

this looks great and feels great more importantly. sometimes people are too obsessed with everything looking pin sharp. thats not appropriate for all circumstances. sometimes you want a softer mellower look. sure didn't hurt movies in the golden age that where always a little softer. sharpness isn't everything.
