All shot on the RED ONE @ 4K 16:9 from some of my favorite spots around the city

Lenses: Zeiss Ultra Primes 16mm-100mm

The raw capabilities of the Red are fantastic! After taking the images into color I saw a 180° difference in the images. The raw files were cold and dark and I was able to get so much amazing vibrance out of them.

    p.s. I got the Wide Angle 10-22mm you recommended for my 7D ... Thank you I love it.
  • Patrick Lawler plus 1 year ago
    Awesome! I'm glad you like that lens! It's definitely on my list of lenses to get for my camera!

    What nice shot of the City! I love the early dawn/dusk stuff the most. What did you use to Grade the footage? Excellent work keep shooting!
  • Patrick Lawler plus 1 year ago
    I graded it all in Apple Color, it was really fun to grade too, because the raw footage is so dark and unsaturated and boring, I saw a 180° difference after I colored it! I think I'm going to upload something about the process later.
  • Blake Bogosian plus 1 year ago
    yeah their is a lot information in those RAW files...just gotta have those skills to pull it out...did you use any secondaries
  • Whiz Mob plus 1 year ago

    No I didn't buy one, I wouldn't buy a RED ONE, they're too impractical for the kind of work I do. It was rented.

    Just as I remember the city when I visited back in the 90's.....the light, the colors, the atmosphere and some kind of calm in the air. I forgot about you this time...but the music remind me it's Patrick's...THANK YOU MAN...mil veces!

    My favourite shot was the one of the swan as it pulls its head out of the water and you see all the detail of its feathers and the rippling water. Beautiful!

    Oh and I'm fairly sure the music is Hengilas by Jonsi (Sigur Ros). Going to buy the album today!

    that video was beautiful. xavisert is right about barcelona, its probably the most beautiful city i've ever been to with amazing gaudi architecture and great culture.
  • Patrick Lawler plus 1 year ago
    Dude I LOVE LOVE LOVE Barcelona! It's one of my favorite cities! I wish I could go there and film it! That would be so great!

  • Dmitri Shushuyev plus 1 year ago
    I have only two words to say: WOW and EPIC. The colours are so vivid and rich. The detail is absolutely amazing. I particularly like the shot/s with the bird and the bridge.

    at 0:53-0:58 - the brownish texture of the video looks finger licking good!

    An excellent choice of song. It accompanied the footage taken really nicely. It was a gorgeous video by the way!

    RED absolutely blows every other camera on the market. I wish I could film with a RED :(
  • Patrick Lawler plus 1 year ago
    Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it! If you ever get a project that has funding RED cameras are renting for super cheap these days, usually around $300 a day, they used to be like $900+
  •  
  • Andrew Walker plus 1 year ago
    Nice looking piece you made. Makes me want to go out to SF again here soon. You shot this using the standard M sensor right, not the MX.
  • Patrick Lawler plus 1 year ago
    I shot it with the standard sensor. I have yet to shoot on an MX
  •  
  • Rick Macomber plus 1 year ago
    breathtaking... You really captured it from all the angles. Good hustle on all the locations. I LOVE your city man. I should have moved there years ago when I had a job opportunity!
  •  
  • Chris Tompkins 1 year ago
    Coulda saved some moolah and gotten a still camera for these shots...
  • Patrick Lawler plus 1 year ago
    Well not really, my goal was to get stock footage. So that means 24p video. I'm shoot stuff for a stock footage company that specializes in RED footage so that's pretty much what all this is. And you can't put PL-mount lenses on a still camera unless it's been modified.

    I don't know crap about video like all these other folks (I'm a photog). Came in from a twitter search on San Francisco and found a link to this video at the top of the results.

    Watched it right before I'm taking off to work in the morning. This is beautiful and put me in a great mood. I love how beautiful you've made San Francisco look. It was refreshing to see the city we live in look so nice.

    best,

    Nice composition, but a bit oversaturated overall for my tastes.
  • Patrick Lawler plus 1 year ago
    The reason for the over saturation besides my stylistic choice of course was to show to dynamic power of raw Red video files.
  •  
  • FINKTOONS 1 year ago
    Amazing footage! I wanna see more. Red is epic
