Up in smoke

[Shawn Nelson]

Filmed: Tonight, Sep 12
Red Settings: ASA 1000, Shutter 1/48.
Red Zoom: 50mm, T3, focus at 4.5'

I'm afraid we may have a bit of clipping in our whites because we wanted some strong backlight. But for the first few seconds, the only light used is a single match. That's right folks, no fill, no bounce, nada. A match

Another shoutout to Ken (Chazmo) for the assistance.

Please right click and save! Also I suggest after watching it the first time, do a slow mo viewing of the whole thing. Mmm, delicious...

That sensor is unfreakin believable. Even with the clipping that looks great. What a feel.

WOW!

BRAVO SHAWN!!!

Maybe this one could be the best test footage!

Hope you would not get aggressive like the other on this forum if we ask you for more footage.

 

[Álex Montoya]

The f is 4.5?

 

[Nook Kim]

I think he meant the distance?

 

[Álex Montoya]

That's what I thought: What was the f then? Around 3?

 

[Shawn Nelson]

T3, focus at 4.5 feet

Fkn awesome Shawn, I've got to try that match trick tomorrow!

I wish you would've put a show card on the other side of his face though. :sorcerer:

 

[Corey Culp]

Great stuff, Shawn. I had a feeling you would put out the goods.

 

[Brandon Fraley]

you were not able to back off the exposer in redalert?

 

[Mardi_Gras]

Nice one, Shawn, tell me, was that you that was up in smoke? BTW, slowed it down in VLC, real nice!

Of course that was me! I had to have a celebratory smoke in honor of Red. It's what Jim would have wanted ;-)

 

[Seung Han]

That looks fantastic!

Is that a tree behind you? Whatever it is, love the rough earthy texture of it out of focus juxtaposed with the silky white smoke. How far in front of it are you?

Again, great footage. Thanks Shawn!

 

[Curran Giddens]

Nice one! I'll do a little celebration myself while waiting for my RED....
