Reel World: Brad Kremer shoots Hayaku with the 5d

5.29.2010

For anyone who knows us and our work, knows we LOVE timelapses. Something about the challenge and showing time pass appeals to me.

This video was shared to us via Vimeo and I figured I'd share it in case you haven't seen it.
Shot all on the 5d by Brad Kremer...

Reel World: A Raining Day by Daniel Peters

One thing I personally really enjoy about shooting with DSLR's is taking everyday activities and adding a little "epic" to them. That's why I am featuring this next film. It takes place on a day when it's tough to get much shooting done. It's raining outside and was probably not the greatest day to feel inspired to shoot as the weather could have easily squashed Daniel's creative aspirations. Instead, he picked up his camera and documented his dogs and developed a nice little storyline of how they were depressed and sleepy and dreaming of when the weather was nice outside.
Enjoy.

Reel World: Director Kyle Day Shoots Feature Film Entirely on 7D

Quick Note: This trailer hasn't been color corrected yet.

Director Kyle Day just directed an action/revenge feature that was shot entirely on the 7D.

"We did it for an insanely low amount of money so given our shooting schedule, our DP, Andrew Barrera,utilized the 7D in a very "run-and-gun" mentality with little to no lighting most of the time. The story is a classic female revenge plot that we wanted to be a homage to many of the 80s movies that myself and the writer grew up on." - Kyle Day

Insanely low budget films that are super high quality mean one thing: Creativity is no longer constrained in filmmaking by the need for a huge amount of up front capital. In my book, that means people are now afforded the opportunity to take a lot more risk creatively without suffering the devastating financial repercussions. Anything that allows more creativity in filmmaking: I'm all for it.

Stabilizing Your DSLR

I apologizing for not posting in a while... It's been quite busy and, believe it or not, this is the calm before the storm :)

So I visited the site and noticed the new poll Jon posted, what do you stabilize your DSLR with? I'm glad to see the tripod rules but a little surprised by how few people are using sliders + glidecams/stedicams. Personally, tripod and monopod come first but I love using the glidecam and slider to enhance the story through motion.
What is it about these tools that keep so many from using them, is it cost, setup difficulties, or lack of understanding how to use it?
You may be wondering why so many questions... As our free time slowly starts to diminish, we'd like to post a few video tutorials/gear reviews on our favorite gear but what would you like to see first?
Glidecam vs. Sliders?

Here's a short promo we shot for a local beer distributor where we utilized a tripod, glidecam, and slider:




Thanks for your feedback!
