    Nice.
    Was wondering if you used a homemade dolly? And what was this made for? Promotional video of a dance group or something? Cool video
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 3 years ago
    Yeah, I used a really low-end, homemade steadycam made out of lead pipe and a 5/8" screw to attach the camera. You can see it in one of the production pics to the right, on this page.

    I just kinda made it because I do this sort of thing, despite work and school. (Thankfully my wife is supportive.) I want to revive the hollywood dance musical, someday--like Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers' films with RKO, or Gene Kelley's movies.

    The dancers and my wife and I are on a ballroom dance company at BYU (Brigham Young University), and that's how we met and where we collaborate. It's certainly nothing official, though! We just did this on 2 saturdays and one friday evening. Just for fun.
  • Andrew Clunie 3 years ago
    It came out real nice. And i really dig your lighting set up!
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 3 years ago
    Thx, yo. $6 clamp lights with $2 CF bulbs, mounted on a broken tripod.

    Curious, do you know Hilary Fleming? I believe she was part of the ballroom dance group at BYU, although i think that was in 04.
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 3 years ago
    I don't, but I looked her up on facebook just now and she's friends with around 20 other older members of the company, so she must have been on the team back then!

    Hey what were you camera setting and what program did you edit on? Amazing video.
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 3 years ago
    Thanks! I shot all on the cinemode, except the mirrored room, where the lighting was throwing it off so I used Shutter-priority mode to keep it at 1/48. It was all 24p (pulldown using Apple Compressor), edited with color grading in Final Cut Pro. No After Effects, this time--I usually go there for something, but I didn't have a single VFX shot this time.

    really nice video... the dance element is tremendous. My wife and I love So You Think Yo Can Dance, can't wait to show this to her later on!
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 3 years ago
    FYI, Bradley (the guy dancer) made it all the way through Vegas for this last season on that show-- he got cut right before the top 20. You can see him dance a Cha Cha/Tango in the Salt Lake City show, and he shows up in the Vegas portion. Fun, huh?

    I enjoyed it much... I really like the use of depth of field, the use of the space, traveling in hallways, the large stairway shot...
    Thank you.

    Kept me glued to it from very beginning. Nice planning. A little bit of lip dub and great range of movements thrown in. Oh, and I like the flares.

  • Richard Che 3 years ago
    Nice job. I was wondering for the night scene what settings you used, what lighting, and how dark was it outside? There doesn't seem to be any noise and it looks great for a nice scene. Thanks.
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 3 years ago
    Thanks! Let's see, it was basically pitch black... about midnight. The building has some lights on it (lighting up the pillars, etc...), but when I did my first camera tests with just that light the actors were silhouetted. I used some LED "UFO" camping lights on the stairs, casting light up from their feet, along with a big halogen worklight as a fill light, placed at the bottom of the steps. Finally, I had 3 CF bulbs in dome reflectors (the $7 at a hardware store type), all of which got moved a lot depending on my camera angle, but often ended up being clamped either to the handrail or an old tripod that I used as a lighting stand. That's it for lights.

    You can check out the lighting setup in some of the pictures I put up to the right. The last few show the lights (and me, in the green jacket, hiding behind the lights in one picture).

    The camera was on the 24p mode, in Cinemode, and I just played with the exposure until the actors were properly exposed. I didn't do the famous HV20 trick to eliminate gain (with the miniSD card and photo mode), so I figured that I'd need to do some After Effects color correction to isolate the darks and blend them to eliminate gain. (See tutorials like videocopilot.net/tutorial/blemish_removal/) But surprisingly, I didn't have to-- just minor color grading in Final Cut Pro for those shots; almost no tweaking on that footage!

    The camera
  • Richard Che 3 years ago
    Hey thanks for getting back to me. Were you shooting at 1/48? Did you use a power generator, if so did you need to get a permit or did you just do it. Also what was the wattage of those CF bulbs. Thanks! I actually plan to film a dance scene at night too and found your footage to be very well lit at night. I'm just worried the weather might turn out to be bad ( I restricted to a few days for filming ).
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 3 years ago
    Yeah, all the shooting was 1/48.

    I found plugs around; no generator.

    Each CF bulb is like, 23 watts, I think. Something like that.

    Good luck with your shoot! I look forward to seeing it!

    Nice work Garrett. Wish you made it for the contest. I would have voted for this!
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 3 years ago
    Thanks, Mike. The HV20 contest gave me the idea ("hot," etc...), so I figure that I got what I needed from the contest. What good are those for, if not to get the creative process moving? I think that's what matters most.

    Nicely done ...even down to the end titles edited to the beat.

    Where can I get that transition? I remember it was free but forgot where it was or what it's called ( the flashing transition ). Thanks
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 3 years ago
    It's a TMTS Free plugin called Flashframe. I probably overuse it, but I seriously love it.

    awesome shot when he starts singing!

    great idea - inspirational...

  • shane kinsman 2 years ago
    Very good, excellent dancing. Just thought in the beginning if you really played it as you were really having the ailment you describe without smiling, Maybe if the nurse gave you a pill or something and thats what gave you the energy boost to jump up and start the dance routine. Just an idea, either way it was very good.
    I know the norm is to smile , but maybe a little more seriousness would be a diff. approach to it. keep up the great work and keep dancing, your a natural!!

  • Ryan Spaulding 2 years ago
    is there a reason you chose to shot all at 1/48?
    great work by the way!
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 2 years ago
    Yeah, my understanding is that when shooting 24p over a 60i signal (HDV tape), having the shutter at 1/48 keeps the shutter and the frame on the same phase, which makes for a clean pulldown to true 24p.

  • Allan Volcy 2 years ago
    Thanks for the education. I just joined VIMEO a couple of hours ago. Was too intimidated and didn't want to see all of the talent on here. But after looking around I feel kind of inspired.

    THANKS!
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 2 years ago
    I'm honored. Thanks for watching!

  • Spudgun 2 years ago
    Naff, cheesy acting!!

    Utterly brilliant concept and fabulous production. Great moves, great editing, fabulous end result. Tricky as a competition entry because of Copyright issue with the music but would be a worthy winner of a shorts competition. Bravo, and more power to your lens....
  •  
  • fredasterical 2 years ago
    Thank you for this. I smiled all the way through! Your Fred and Ginger are impeccable. The "nurse" has got Ginger down to the hands and the "patient" cops the perfect Fred attitude, postures, and facial expressions. Great costumes, too. Wow!

    Really cool video :)
    which shots were made using the JAG35 ?
    how do you think the JAG is? Cool product? Vignetting?
    Thanks!
    Giso
  • Garrett Wesley Gibbons plus 2 years ago
    About 30% of this was shot on an early model JAG. I think it's an awesome product. My JAG will vignette if you want it to, or you can set it up so there is none (I know that Jehu always posts test footage with no tripod, max vignette, but it doesn't have to be that way). I shoot on DSLRs now, though, since the quality is higher and low-light performance is better. Canon 5Dmk2, T1i, and hopefully the upcoming 7D (pre-ordered mine).
