Beautiful! What did you shoot on?
Daniel Michael Gahr 11 months ago

7D for the ground work and a T2i for the aerials (simply because it's lighter than the 7D).
Michael Roberson 11 months ago

Wow, beautiful!
Nick Bruno 10 months ago

I'm with Michael (and not just because we're friends AND looking at this as one of what will no doubt be several examples for our own work)...an amazing job on this one!

Beautiful video.
What beach is that, with the reflecting pool by the shore? If you will divulge...
Daniel Michael Gahr 10 months ago

The one with the pool is Sutro baths in SF and the other one (with the cliff and vistas) is Gray Whale Cove just down the coast a bit from Pacifica.

Thank you all for the positive feedback and awesome comments! Gotta give a big up to Akron/Family (and their fantastic new record), Dead Oceans, hovereffect.com for the ridiculous aerials, Kate Sullivan Green for being a good sport (with great hair) and Tom Green for his additional camera work.

For the slow motion, was the camera shooting at 60fps or were you able to acheive it with 30fps? I prefer to keep it to 1080...
