12. EVO 2010
1 year ago
Las Vegas, Nevada 2010 -- EVO 2010 took place at Caesar's Palace, a fancy pants casino and hotel in Las Nevada, where thousands of fighting game fans attended the annual tournament hosted by Shoryuken.com. For three days, players competed across several games including Super Street Fighter 4, all trying to get out of their pools. I, while waiting for my turn, shot some b-roll around the ballroom, aided by friend Ray, who also filmed with my other camera. What you see here is a collection of footage gathered in two days: the start of the tourney and the end of the tourney. Highlights include Daigo signing his autograph on a lady's chest at the Madcatz booth, sitting and filming amongst the crowd, and capturing the intense, exciting moments near the stage during the Super Street Fighter 4 grand finals.
Shot with Canon 5D Mark ii and T2i. Music provided by the legendary Neil Young "Heart of Gold" from Harvest Moon. Graded in Magic Bullets using a custom grade based on the Blockbuster effect.
Special thanks to Ray, Mark, Toshi, Terry, Jayson, Mike, Anthony, Ramin, Nima, Neidel.

Great stuff Richard. Makes me so sad to have missed it.
I am definitely going to EVO next year! Japan baby!
Glad you got the 5D! I just bought it a week ago, and loving the full frame capability, especially when used with my 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM. Ultrawide angle is so nice.
I used three lens:
1. 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM
Crowd shots, some tracking shots on an indieslider, some pans.
2. Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM
On the indieslider a lot, and handheld. I think i used this lens to shoot the boob signing.
3. Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Just two shots: the golden TE sticks and the new Chun Li TE stick.
I wish more people were like you and captured the "behind the scenes" of EVO. Match vids are cool, but not enough people film crowd reactions and venue shots.
I think a few ppl taking video of the crowd. G4 had two dslr shooters decked out in zacuto rigs, filming on all three days of the tournament. I cant wait to see it next week! The G4 producer said he's gonna work on the 30 min EVO special with his editor all this week, trying to edit 40 hours of footage into an half hour. What a daunting task!
Hope all is well.

There's always next year. I wish sagat wasnt so bad in Super. I totally suck now. See you again soon, I hope.
I'd like to hope many folks from Japan get to see this :)
I got the tracking shots with a tripod and indislider, or just the indieslider on the floor.

Affordable and built-well, the indieslider is a great choice for those who dont want to spend big bucks and are on a tight budget. I got mine for less than 200 dollars. I have minor complaints about it, including the smoothness and accuracy of the slide itself, but the benefits outweighs the problems by a landslide.
Next, I want to try my DIY glidecam :) I outta practice my two-steps and ballet routine, first, to get down the movement. hah
Yeah, the Evo finals were BANANAS. Probably one of the best I've ever seen. Awesome vid!
Enjoy your T2i! I used the T2i for all my slo-mo shots at 60P. 5D can't shoot in 60P, so I had to use the T2i for everything slow-mo. It's a beast, though. Almost identical sensor to the 7D!
Seriously loving this Canon series of HDSLRs
Can you put some of the crowd shots in context thought? Like the shot of Valle, Mr. Wizard, and one of the twins getting crazy hyped, which match was that? Also, the shot at the end with Skisonic going nuts, is that when Ricky O. took a game off Daigo?
I'd love to make it out to EVO at least once, but Guam to Vegas is hella expensive.
Thanks for the kind words! I believe alex was watching infiltration vs either shizza or mike ross. As for the Ricky, I dont remember where I took that shot... I just pointed the camera near the end of a final set, hoping something big or interesting would happen in the crowd. And, behold, Skisonic wild 'n out.
More please!
Europe has the World Games Cup!

Eita vs Daigo in the grand finals.
Missed out this year - next year I'll be up there against Daigo - for sure.
I'll bring my T2I for sure - we'll make a hell of a video.
Have twitter or something I can keep in contact with you on?
