    Agree. Once again, amazing work Tom. I want this footage as a screensaver for my TV :)
  • Peter H. Chang plus 11 months ago
    I want this as a screensaver on my wall! This is eye-poppingly, jaw-droppingly GLORIOUS projected onto a 13 foot screen. Bring on the 4K displays already!
  • Dustin Kukuk 11 months ago
    Turned out perfect man! Loved shooting this, and also gained a greater appreciation for the Salton Sea in the process. Some parts of it aren't the best, but these Pelicans are SICK =]
  • awesome - the shot at 01:39 was the most EPIC of all these EPIC shots. :D

    Looks like WWII bombers in flight. At 59 seconds I thought there was something wrong with the footage then realized it was just the bird shaking itself. Beautiful images Tom.

    Amazing!!!

    I'm already testing @ 192 fps slow-down version...

    Download full version of the clip from Vimeo

    and then try out using [U][I][B][URL="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/"]VLC player[/URL][/B][/I][/U] with the speed playback adjustment slower @ 0.50x.

    Also turn slowed down Wagner's music off if makes you dizzy...

    Absolutely fantastic!!!

  • Shawn Nelson plus 11 months ago
    Wow Tom!!!

    I obeyed you and watched full screen :-). Really incredible stuff man. My favorite Epic footage thus far.

    What lens(es) were you using? Any filtration? Also what tripod head? Great job following them.
  • Tom Lowe pro 11 months ago
    This was 100% Duclos/Nikon 80-200mm PL-conversion lens. Bare.
  • Shawn Nelson plus 11 months ago
    Wow! Lens shade? And where were you in the 80-200 range? Or just all throughout it? That's a nice range to work in.

    What tripod head?
  • Shawn Nelson plus 11 months ago
    Bump! :-)

    Also it seems Duclos no longer does the 80-200. Now he's only posting about his 70-200, which will be a more expensive but different project

  • Mike Wilkins pro 11 months ago
    Can't believe the detail in the shots of the pelicans on the rippled water & the way it handles shooting into the sun !

    Beautiful !!!
  •  
  • Mindrelic plus 11 months ago
    awesome music selection, made me laugh when the title popped up and music started because i had seen the screenshots on facebook haha. 96fps overcrank looks amazing. the very last shot looks like some very timelapseable cloud/light! good shit tom!
  • Tom Lowe pro 11 months ago
    yeah, timelapseable, except for the 10,000 birds that will fly through your shot. :)
  • Mindrelic plus 11 months ago
    ...and the ridiculous new hardware shooting 96fps sitting on your tripod :)

    1:57 - PERFECT light and exposure. Very nice slo-mo with that 96fps. Nice work man.

  • lee dainton plus 11 months ago
    detailatronic, left hand side of the shot at 116, bird hammers it into the drink slapping a fish up and out of the water... love it...
  • lee dainton plus 11 months ago
    right hand side, dew...

  • Jim Froom 11 months ago
    Very nice. Did you edit this on your new laptop, sandy bride/ nvidia setup and Premier?
    Epic is not affordable, but I may have to buy some lottery tickets just to have a chance. Sad part is, even if the money were available, couldn't get one for a long long time. I'm so impressed with footage coming off the Epic, I think they have another winner. Here's hoping they run problem free. Again, very impressed.

  • David Fuller plus 11 months ago
    My God, Tom, that is beautiful footage! You've got it, man.
  •  
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 11 months ago
    First time I've downloaded a clip before even watching it. But I have to comment now or I'll be on page 2 at this rate!

    Okay, now after watching.. the footage quality is gorgeous, of course.. but what I really want to know is... how did you pan so smoothly without so much as a jitter?

    There was one shot where you followed a bird back and forth, that was a bit unreal to watch.

    Thanks for sharing this. The ending was a bit of a surprise!

    Wow, the detail and colour is AMAZING! What gets me the most, though, is the shot directly into the sun – what a dynamic range and how natural it looks/clips. No harshness/etc whatsoever. Gorgeous!
