Yeah buddy! Great shooting and editing Michael. I like the Summer 2008 AE. Good shutter speed, color balance, mix of clips, use of music beat.

Awesome, a joy to watch!

How did you manage such stable shots on such a boat? Tripod, steady bag, or what?
Michael 1 year ago

All of the shots were hand held but often braced on parts of the boat. The overcranked footage also seems steadier since the bumps happen slower. The water was fairly smooth most of the time I was filming too.

RAD SICK! Wish my wakeboard vids was only feets away from this
Tom C 1 year ago

OUTSTANDING!!! THe wakeboarder, camera work, and EDITING! I would love to know HOW DID YOU DO THAT AMAZING EDIT @ 1:20?
What editing package are you using? What features / how is this done? I would love to do this with some of my daughter's gymnastic videos... thanks for any insight! Again... AMAZING!
Michael 1 year ago

The effect at 1:2o is really simple and just a few layers. You will need a program like After Effects to do the motion tracking and compositing. For each still all you need to do is freeze your shot on another layer keeping the original layer, matte out the background on the still and then motion track the still back into the scene. Thats basically it..
eladbari 1 year ago

i dont really quite understand your explanation here, but what i guessed is that you would export a frame of him in mid-air...then export it to photoshot, and cut the person only, and then put it back in AE+Motion track it, and use the opacity to pop it in there...
I guess what you offered is simpler...yet, i dont understand how u can freezeframe, And matte the person out in AE without hurting the original track...
Michael 1 year ago

Thanks for all the feedback!

This video was really about learning for me being the first project I shot with my new camera and the first time I used Final Cut for editing. I learned a lot but have a lot to learn.

I used a Sony PMW-EX1 to aquire the images. Everything from the boat was hand held except for the very last shot with the frame where I used a tripod. The footage was shot at 24 fps and all of the overcranked footage was 60@24.

All the editing was done in Final Cut Pro.

For the effects and color correction I used Avid|DS. The video was finished 1920x1080 @ 24fps.

For delivery to Vimeo I just followed their HD specs.

I used Avid|DS for that effect. You could use after effects and it would work just as good.
