Sony Professional: NAB 2013 - New Camera systems for Live Sports from Sony Professional Europe on Vimeo.
With technological advancements and 4k cameras you can reduce the number of camera operators. Instead of having one central camera for the wide shot and several more to follow the action today’s technology allows for you to frame an HD signal in two 4k images. As a result rather than panning a camera physically you can pan a software camera instead.
Sony Professional: NAB 2013 - Introducing the new PMW-400 camcorder from Sony Professional Europe on Vimeo.
Two minutes in to this video there is a demonstration of the wireless options available with the PMW range of cameras. While filming you have remote monitoring. You can also send the data to your servers for editing.
Speed Riding Mont Blanc from Didier Lafond on Vimeo.
Speed flying is a combination of parapente and skiing. You take off from the top with the parapente and ski part of the way and fly for the rest of the way. This is an extreme sport but it provides some great images. This is a sport I edited footage from a number of times and it captures the imagination.
An interesting look back in to the past. I remember seeing this conflict on television. I know people who covered the story and I’ve heard about how a colleague gave one person a gameboy when he left Sarajevo. That person called and asked about the individual and that’s how I knew of a personal story. One or two segments in this video show the tape to tape editing process. I learned how to edit this way but by the time I worked as an editor everything had moved to non linear editing systems.
Biting Elbows - ‘Bad Motherfucker’ (Insane Office Escape 2) from Ilya Naishuller on Vimeo.
A fun first person film that stands out from the rest.
EVERYDAY from Gustav Johansson on Vimeo.
What would you do if you had an eight day week rather than seven. An over the phone dialogue with moments in the day of these two people.
This is a fun water experiment.
I quite like the period images from the beginning. The story begins in 1936 with steam trains and a moleskine notebook. We have a link to the 1936 Munich olympics before being brought in to the present.
WOWO - Caving in Papua New-Guinea / Spéléo en Papouasie [EN-FR] from Petzl-sport on Vimeo.
If Couleur 3 made television or video documentaries then they would be just like this one. Taking a light hearted look at the act of cave exploration it tells us about a recent expedition to Papua New Guinea.
Innocent, in a way. from alexis wanneroy on Vimeo.
Documentaries are sometimes invitations in to someone else’s life. The subject of the documentary trusts the person who is filming, to paint them in a positive light. In this case the topic may be seen as controversial in some countries and perfectly normal in others. As viewers we take a break from the realities we live in to experience that of others.
