Hi all, here's just a short clip shot on my RED MX during the Montreal International Fireworks Competition last Saturday. Let me know what you think....

Jean, I really enjoyed watching the video. I'm curious as to what your specs are on the video, what is the playback size, and how large is the file size? I'm curious if a controller or a play handle, and possibly a loading bar could be incorporated.

Also, I've been thinking about it, but haven't brought it up until after seeing your video, but I think for viewers to see a true 4k+video online, they'd have to upload it to his or her own server, or one that is designed to handle such footage and play back regardless of one's internet browser's window size. For example, Vimeo accepts HD, but its limited. Youtube accepts original size HD, but is actually up to 4200, any higher and it will only show a solid green and this is played back within that window, unless you hit full screen.

May I ask which camera settings you used? Framerate, shutter angle, t-stop?

Very nicely exposed, indeed.

Julian, thanks for your comments. This was just a quick and dirty upload to make it available, thus the lack of pertinent info. Since it wasn't huge (37 MB more or less) I didn't think it was necessary. As for viewing in 4K....I imagine that 99.999% of the people out there don't have access to 4K (!).

Martin, I can't remember the exact settings for this part of the clip but it was 800 iso, 23.98 fps, between f5.6 and f8 and either 1/48th or 1/24th of a second shutter. Shooting fireworks in RAW does wonders for letting us get the best image in post.
