Matt Drake 1 year ago

Absolutely beautiful work!

Could not say one bad thing about any single one of the shots. The jib/slider moves were perfect! Spectacular! Just... wow!

The only thing I had hoped for was just *one* timelapse shot that was not HDR when we saw the whole chapel. HDR is cool but there's something about having black fill the frame when its dark inside, to emphasize the contrast of the light cutting through. Would have loved to see a wide shot of that in the chapel.

Overall though I could not say anything bad about these shots. They were all perfect. Well done.
Patryk Kizny 1 year ago

Thanks! You can't have all. But probably next time I'd shoot it the other way. I never to the same things twice :)

Real ambience from the chapel as recorded by internal 5D mic! You can hear follow focus :D Initially wanted to replace it with some stock ambience or precomposed one, but finally decided to keep this one as it is REAL.

Christian Anderl 1 year ago

very cool shots, lovely moves, perfect composition ... just - for me - HDR is overdone here. looks like a computer animation, not like a video. don´t get me wrong, HDR is powerful and i really like it, i´d just not overdo it ... i think it´s more powerful if you´re not sure at first sight if it´s HDR or not.
nevertheless, over all - great work!
SIXTEENTH&BROADWAY 1 year ago

very cool comment, it's just that, for me, it's a little unnecessary here. don't get me wrong, your comments are good, but this guy's vid is AMAZING and you're imposing as some kind of authority.

nevertheless, overall, great comment!

back-handed comments feel shitty huh?
Christian Anderl 1 year ago

oh wow ... interesting to see that you got this wrong. the last thing here was to "impose as some kind of authority", sorry. all i wanted to say is my thoughts about HDR, and that it feels like an animation to me. sorry if you misunderstood me or maybe my english is just too poor and i didn´t get the right words to say what i mean. however, the only thing that feels a little bit shitty for me is the sarkasm in your post to be honest :-)
chriszanf 1 year ago

SIXTEENTH&BROADWAY:
Sorry but I fully agree with Christian here. The HDR is overblown and for me, detracts massively from what could be an incredible piece.

"your comments are good, but this guy's vid is AMAZING and you're imposing as some kind of authority."

So you're not imposing some kind of 'authority' in saying that Christians comments are out of place? Does noone have the right to have dissenting opinion?

"back-handed comments feel shitty huh?"

Now you're just being an arse.
Tanner Volz 1 year ago

Christian absolutely nailed it, and surprised so few have responded to the marked difference in quality between the stunning minimalist shots tracking dustfall and the painfully overloaded, violently compressed HDR shots. I so want to see those images as they were shot, as the execution is otherwise marvelous. As it is this is unwatchable.

Erick James 1 year ago

Wow, epic work, Patryk. It's kinda disturbing, in such a way that we're not quite sure if what we're seeing is real or a 3D animation.
I would like to see a non-HDR version of this short. I can't help but think it would be more special than it already is. Still, incredible work!
Bon Baker 1 year ago

I would also like to see a HDR-free version.
Nevertheless, great achievement!!!
Sybren Arnoldus 1 year ago

Me too! Love it and admire the craftsmanship but the HDR is a bit too much for my taste.
Dustin Farrell 1 year ago

I would have to agree. HDR pushed to the point of looking like animation. I fight the same battle when doing HDR. Sometimes I add the 0 ev layer on top of the rendered HDR clip afterwards. I mess around with the opacity of the 0 ev clip until I get a more realistic look.

I too think it's a bit to much HDR but hey, who am I to judge?
Those moves are awesome and the environment is breathtaking...
Speaking of moves, I was wondering about the combined slider and tilt shots, what gear did you use to accomplish that?
Patryk Kizny 1 year ago

Thanks! the HDR post is controversial. The moves - this was just the dolly shots and a DitoGear Slider + some smart post. I have my DS2000 head and planning on joining it with the slider, but did not have time to fix the threads mismatch prior to shooting.

Dan Eckert 1 year ago

I agree, HDR is cool but dark shadows in a structure like this would work too. Was it dusty in there or did you kick some up for the effect?
Patryk Kizny 1 year ago

In fact there's a lot of dust. After each day of shooting we were totally covered with this dust. It is enough to walk across to make it fly all around.

Nino Leitner 1 year ago

Really great work, Patryk. Looks absolutely surreal, amazing place - hope somebody takes care of it before it crumbles to pieces.

There sometimes a little flickering going on in the timelapses, have you tried the CHV plugin "Long Exposure" (part of the Time Collection)? I started using it for timelapses a while back and it works like a treat.

Can't wait to get my hands on the slider!
Patryk Kizny 1 year ago

Thank you Nino! I used GBDeflicker, which is great, but of course it won't be able to manage local lighting changes which cause the flicker here. I did not know the plugin you mentioned, but I'll give it a try.

Your slider is on its way!

Diego Cirera 1 year ago

Great Job! you most admit motion control is not available to most humans, but you use it to perfection, combined with HDR, the sequence of shot, the motion and the music mix perfectly. Now what do you do if you have people moving in the shot? it wouldn't work, but even as a replacement for 3D would be really cool. you can easly make it more "real" by superimposing the layer of the original footage, with more or less opacity. excellent!
Patryk Kizny 1 year ago

Actually I could process HDRs less aggressively to get more natural look, but I like it as is. With people in HDR is is not that easy. Actually you'd need to make advanced compositing and masking to make it work. Ghosting reduction methods are not advanced enough yet in the software I tried.

Paul Antico 1 year ago

My first reaction is wow! And that ditogear is amazing. At first I too thought the HDR was a bit much and perhaps incongruous with the other images. However I think it was a deliberate artistic decision and as a piece still sits well on it's own. The room looks like a video game, almost fake, and that's strangely part of it's allure. Very well done.

Hey Patryk, great movie, im really like non-places and your film is so powerful, in fact i have a lot of places to know, congrats, now is the fourth time i watch the video.

I have a photography project, it called Essay About Absence, i visit the non-places and i build a stop motion, if you have a time visit my channel - vimeo.com/channels/129994

Kevin Gater 1 year ago

Splendid work, great location to photograph. I was blown away by the motion and composition. It looks expensive.

The HDR had me questioning whether it was 3D camera projection at times though. But the technique has a neat aesthetic nonetheless.
Patryk Kizny 1 year ago

Thank you! In fact we had no budget for it! There were no camera projection at all. However, some shots were only 1-axis dolly shots with flat panning added in post. Wide lens and perspective distortion added feeling of more axes.
Giorgio Gunnelli 1 year ago

Patryk
Stunning as usual! I am hoping you might consider exhibiting here an edit without the HDR effect. It's interesting as it is, but I would be very interested in seeing a less manipulated version. Of course, the footage may have been shot in a way that obviates a more raw edit, but I tend to like a little less manipulation.

I'm wondering, as others including JAG are, why the lovely chapel has fallen into disrepair. Was it damaged in war? Was its congregation displaced?

Anyhow, congratulations on yet another stunning short film. You are quite a talent!
Patryk Kizny 1 year ago

Thank you for your comment. I am rather not planning on editing it again. I really wanted to achieve this sort of look. I understand that it might not appeal to someone - it is very subjective matter.

Regarding the church itself - I'll try to post more details about it soon on my blog. Just been a bit busy recently. I'll post URLs here.

WoOoW, first video I like on vimeo!

I know how to do timelapse and just today know from you the concept of how to do moving timelapse but in HDR, I have no idea!

Could u explain more on this "shooting in HDR" ? was it while editing the pictures or the video!? and which software do u use for HDR ?

Cheers
