A hiking trip on the Big Tree Trail - April 23rd, 2008. Meares Island near Tofino has some of the oldest and largest Red Cedar and Spruce trees in Canada.

A narrow path takes you through the temperate rainforest where you get to see some amazing trees.

Color graded with Magic Bullet Looks.

    I like those graded colors with magic bullet makes the HG10 look like a 5,000 Dlls camera. Viking how much is that software or where did you downloaded from?

    Look here:
    redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-looks/
    At USD 400,- it's not cheap.

    Sony Vegas users could also try the free (old) version:
    download.sonymediasoftware.com/current/extras/vegasmovielooks_hd.exe (right click and choose 'save destination as').

    Thanks for posting the link to the "old version". I will give it a whirl to see what it can do. :)

    Again, nice grading, I think you're definitely developing your own style.

    Am I right in thinking you were using your Merlin rather than a tripod?
  • [ PIXEL VIKING ] 2 months ago
    I didn't use my Merlin in this video.

    To save time (and not fall behind) I set up my tripod as a monopod by only extending one leg.
  • Greg Wallis 2 months ago
    Ah, interesting, because I'm thinking about getting a monopod for both my Pentax and the HG10.

    What effect or effects in Magic Bullet is this? Have you ever thought of directing short films? You would be good at that perhaps.
  • [ PIXEL VIKING ] 2 months ago
    Hi Mark

    This is the 'Blockbuster' look (with the vignette removed in a few shots).

    I'm doing this as a hobby because I like the creative process. I never thought of doing any kind of directing. I think I'm way to shy a person to get into that :) I prefer nature footage :D

    beautiful footage and those trees are amazing. I found the color a little to saturated but thats just preference..Great Job!!

    glad you got the compression problem sorted now :)

    This looks awesome, and those redwoods sent tingles down my spine!!! What a beautiful place to spend some time and play with your new toy.

    Some of the shots in this though did seem a little over saturated and the blacks crushed a bit too heavy for me, but in places this really works well such as the mud flats scene - it made it look sureal :) Great footage and nicely edited, looking forward to more of your work...
  • [ PIXEL VIKING ] 2 months ago
    :) 4 days of continues compression failure kept the Vimeo staff busy and me a bit pissed to be honest. I don't really have a lot of patience when it comes to these things...

    I realize the look might be a bit heavier than usual but I like to play around with software, so things are not necessarily graded to fit the content but rather to fit my mood at the time of editing :)

    It's not every day I spent USD 400,- on software, so be prepared for some experimentation. :)

    ...experimentation is good - keep on experimenting!!!!

    This is really well done and I will save it for sure. l like your work and the experimentation you try. I try to do some of that myself. My children are always asking me to edit this and that and so am busy with other stuff. I just need to learn to say no more often and do more of my own things. Keep up the work and I will continue to be here to appreciate it. :o)
  • [ PIXEL VIKING ] 2 months ago
    :) thanks, Roger.
