Congrats Tom.

It looks absolutely fantastic!!!


The sunset, The Native North American Indian Tribe Dancer (a kid) and the wind power turbines from the car were shot on R1MX or...5DMK2?

 

[Andrew Walker]

Looks good man. I can't wait to go back out to Page, AZ. That place is magical. Hopefully we can meet up again when your out there after the summer.

 

[Tom Lowe]

I think I am going to dedicate the entire month of October to Powell, Holy Land, etc.

BTW, for those interested, here is a behind-the-scenes shot of how we did this.. a lot of very long nights camping in very cold, remote places. I'm sure Drew can attest to that!

 

[Daniel Reichenbach]

Amazing ;-))

 

[Mark Phelan]

Tom, the work is fantastic.

Best Yet, Tom. My favorite (beyond the moonlit Bristlecone pine shot in Mountain Light) is the 1st Saguaro cactus ...a little light on the cactus really helps, eh? Almost looks like a circular dolly move.

What light source did you use? I have used the little LED lights bought at Walmart (the yellow ones)...good for 8 hours on fresh batts...color corrected them with 1/2 CTO.

Keep it up, dude!

Baraka jumps into the fountain. :yesnod:

 

[Mitch Martinez]

Tom, which shots were done with the RED MX?

 

[Frank Weeks]

Very cool Tom. It looks like you are having a blast.

 

[Jon B.]

Mesmerizing Tom,

What do you use to make the images so smooth as far as deflickering? Any tricks you care to share?

 

[Cüneyt Kaya]

Wow thanks, Larry. I was a using a $20 Coleman camping lantern! It's the new one at Walmart that has a battery that slides out of the bottom or takes 4 Ds. Then I wrap the lantern in a pillow case to defuse. You would not believe how far away that little lantern has to be!

The MX shot is the boy dancing. He was a champ! The only problem on that shoot was that I was using an experimental dolly that could not go low angle at all! In fact, the lowest it could go was almost eye-level on me! My instinct was to go low angle. Anyway, I can't complain. I'm just learning.

 

[Scott Miller]

Wow!

 

[John Bannister]

This is fantastic work Tom! Put me down for a copy of the B/Ray version...or should that be the RedRay version ?!

 

[C.H.Haskell]

I would not expect anything less...always breathtaking and all inspiring, hang in there buddy. PM sent.

 

[Michael Schrengohst]

Awesome stuff -
After your movie comes out - you should get one of these.
Imagine how much more creative you could be!

That is one of my favorite shots. Especially, I think the fps you slowed it down to fits perfect.

Oooh... That would be sweet. The first commercial RED4K disc to become available is Tom's "Timescapes."
