I was hired to shoot a 30 second spot for a local Rhode Island television network. This network broadcasts most of the Providence College Friars' basketball games.
The purpose of this commercial was to promote the station's coverage of the college team in a dramatic way with a religious tone.
I shot everything in one day. I walked the PC campus with my Sony EX1 with the Letus Extreme, tripod, my bag of lenses and my home made dolly. I shot for about six hours in clear but very cold conditions. Later that day, I drove five miles to the Dunkin Donuts Center and shot the game footage.
To get the sweet statue shot, I asked a guy on campus with a blower if he would stir up a small tornado full of leaves and he helped me out.
I color graded with Magic Bullet Looks and slowed the 60 fps overcranked footage even more with Twixtor.
The actual spot will be thirty seconds. I posted this four minute piece on my website because I simply had too much footage!

Also, how do you manage the dolly shots without any help? You keep things in focus, framed well, and pretty consistent dolly movement. Do you SMOOTHCAM' it or something?
How do you bring all that gear around with you? Especially the tripod, the lenses, the dolly and track? That's lot to move for one person, re-setup for each shot, and move to the next place!
the dolly shots are carefully set up. i level the track with wood wedge blocks. my dolly wheels and pvc pipe is wiped before every shot to keep them clean. i treat my ex1 memory like film, so i only hit record when i want it to count. so in other words, i preform three or four rehearsals before the actual take. i have never used smoothcam yet on dolly moves.
i use a magliner cart to move the stuff from place to place. it is quite easy on a paved college campus. when i shot "falling water" i hiked all this stuff ten miles up a mountain all by myself.
Can I ask what lenses you are using? I am getting the EX1 soon, and want to "trick it out" with the Letus and some lenses.

i am tricking out my camera too. my follow focus system and matte box with 4x4 glass filters is arriving early next week!
Well done Tom :)
i should have color corrected the yellow out of the game footage shots. this will be fixed on the final edit for the 30 second spot.
the bit rate is 3mbps. for more info on my web compression settings, read my faq section on my website. link: tomguilmette.com/wp/faq-section
FAVORITE CAPTURE: 2:47 B/BALL PASS (EVEN IF IT WAS OUT OF FOCUS ,ITS A BEAUTY MY FRIEND)i WOULD HAVE SLOWED IT DOWN A LITTLE MORE
