Surface street portion of my roof rig test drive - Shot in downtown Pleasanton, CA early 2/8/12.
Canon 5D Mark II & 17-40 f/4L rigged on Wood’s, Zacuto & Sachtler gear.
ISO 3200 with Technicolor CineStyle and dabble of Neat Video.
Audio is Nine Inch Nails - 36 Ghosts IV.
Created from footage I shot the evening of 7/31/11 - The last skate at Cal Skate, Milpitas, CA. Cut to ‘It Takes Two’ by Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock.
I went to skate, not to shoot, but I’m glad I brought the camera anyway. Hopefully these clips bring a smile to your face, as they have mine - and maybe they’ll help people who haven’t been understand what we’re always on about.
To the management and staff, and all the great friends I’ve made over the years - you’re all family. That floor and the building around it was a home away from home. Any time I was in town I knew I could stop in for a warm welcome and the best skating anywhere.
Thanks for the memories!
Some camera tests for an upcoming video series - The Gift of Quit. The was my first commercial project using Technicolor’s CineStyle picture style, shown here ungraded, both with and without their s-curve LUT. Couldn’t be happier with the performance, though there are a few gotchas we needed to work though.
Expect to see a lot more from this guy - Eric Hartman - A skilled smoking cessation coach who seems to really understand the struggles smokers go through trying to quit.
