That's awesome! How did you shoot this?
How many camera did you use, and so one!
Please tell me, I want to travel into pictures of my own too!
Magnus Engsfors 1 year ago

Thanks.

It was shot with one Canon Eos 5D and a single external ProFoto flash while I was hanging in two ropes stretched across the scene. Then some heavy masking and retouch in Photoshop before the layers was lined up in After Effects to add camera movement and particles and such things.
Remi Noëll 1 year ago

Awesome!
It must have been a hell of a work but it looks so good, that's amazing!
Thanks for sharing your little secret Tarzan!

fwiw i love the Canon Eos 5D... sweet job Magnus. :cheers:

curious, what were your render times?
Magnus Engsfors 1 year ago

Render times.... Not to long, I would say about half an hour for the whole project. Since it´s actually all 2D it´s not that heavy at all. The new quad core 3,2Ghz might have helped a little though..... ;)
snOball biz 1 year ago

thanks Magnus.
something very intriguing about the 2d & movement; though not much live action is happening it's so fun to watch, the added particles & stuff give you nice depth & interest. And yeah nice hits on the audio too. :cheers: & kudos
