30. Natureland - Letus Extreme Film - HDTV
1 year ago
Check out my website for more information: tomguilmette.com

I shot this in Whitewater, Wisconsin for a Chicago client. This video was prepared for art-luis.com to help promote abstract expressionist artist, Manuel Guerrero Mora.

This location was called Natureland and it was a small natural area full of spring-fed streams that flowed through a lush green park and into Whitewater Lake.

I shot this using the Sony PMW-EX1 and the Letus Extreme. I also used my home made dolly and a Vinten Vision 3 tripod.

I edited the project with Final Cut Pro and color graded with Magic Bullet Looks.

TRT: 3 minutes, 35 seconds
File size: 78.6 MB
Type: Quicktime mpeg4 720p HDTV

Music: "Meditation" (from Thaïs) by Jules Massenet
Thanks to Walworth County, Wisconsin and Norman Skul for allowing me to post this video.

    Nice one Tom, you could have also possibly called this "The Artist's Sketchbook"

    Especially like the secene at 01:38 with the river water bubbling through the gravel and also were you not tempted to blow the leaf off the log at 02:59?

    Its amazing how you get such technically superb quality with the amount of compression that you apply, i.e just over 3 1/2 minutes = 78MB. Thought the same thing with your other video "Autumn in New England" vimeo.com/2016472

    Thanks for uploading and sharing your excellent work.

    Excellent video Tom – the shot of the leaf at 2:41 on the log at 60fps with the rack focus was superb. This area is not very far away, if you get back this way and need an extra grip on your shot – drop me a line. I’m really good at procuring donuts & coffee :-)

    I am having very difficult time to choose which one I like better between this one and Autumn in New England. I think I am going to pick this one to go to VOTD channel for smooth moving shots you created. Love it.

    Hi Tom. I was enjoying this until my brother who was working on the other side of the office rudely stated " Where did he get that bloody music from "Lassie". What a prick. I guess he has a point. Send him a rude reply @ christianfletcher.com.au Great stuff mate.
