24. Chatham Light - Letus Extreme Film - HDTV

Color version available: vimeo.com/1429692
I drove to Chatham, Massachusetts to work the Cape Cod League All-Star Game and decided to bring the EX1 and Letus. I headed up a few hours early to beat the infamous Cape Cod traffic and as a result, I had some time to shoot a short film at the Chatham Lighthouse beach.
This was close to the area where the movie 'Jaws' was shot.
I used my Sony EX1 and the Letus Extreme to get the film look. I brought my lenses and only used the Nikon 50mm f1.4, the Nikon 24mm f2.8 with a polarizer, and the long Nikon 300mm f3.5 telephoto.
I shot this video in 720p 30p in overcrank (60 FPS) mode. I slowed it down even more using Twixtor as a plugin for Final Cut Pro. This film was shot in color, but I removed all the chroma in post and crushed the blacks.
TRT: 3min, 21 sec

one thing id like to ask tho, you always mention "crushing the blacks" what do you mean by this or should I say how do you go about doing this :/ :)
you do this with the "three way color corrector" filter in final cut pro.
Amazing! I too don't understand the meaning of crushing the blacks. Please Explain? Also interested in twixtor? What is it, is it expensive, and how do ya use it with FCP. I'm using the same basic setup as you only with canon fixed focal length lenses on EX1 and Letus Extream.
Thanks for sharing your talent

twixtor is processor intensive and takes some time to render out. the result is silky smooth slo-motion (especially with water) when shooting at 60 frames per second. keep in mind that fast moving objects do not look good when you slow them down using twixtor. if the frames are not there, the computer has trouble "faking it".
the program costs $329.99 for just the plugin.
here is more info revisionfx.com/products/twixtor/
as for vimeo, my guess is that they go with 24 fps because it uses less bandwidth and plays out better to most computers using flash video.
i shot a mt biking video in 24p and posted it to vimeo and i did not notice much difference.
24p with shutter can give you a neat effect. see the movie "saving private ryan".
Keep up the good work, and get me my CSS vid!!
