Thank you Clan, much appreciated! Don't forget to "like" if you like it! :D

Eugenia Loli-Queru Quixote - You have such a gift. You have the eye and the rhythm. I pray you can keep on track and really produce more video that can lift the spirits of the folks who watch. It is a wonderful gift. From the natural things of the ocean to the heart beat of the people of the board walk. Santa Cruz should pay you a bundle for promoting them.

I first tried to find some "Carousel-like" music in the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) library, but there was nothing like it. I think that this CC-BY track gives an urban style though, which isn't too bad. The musician is Brazilian btw. ;)

I liked the music I think it all depends on your taste...I thought it was fitting.
BTW this music is hardly Euro Trash...its not Trance than Euro Trash...now if she used WHAT IS LOVE...than I might agree =)

Thanks!

Thanks, mine too. Came out alright as this part was completely handheld.

Thanks! Believe it or not, the very-fast spinning shots are real time! I did not fast-motioned the footage! I probably would have come out of this spinner full of stomach contents all over me...

Sony Vegas for editing, Magic Bullet for color grading.

This is a nice Carousel song, but I don't believe it to be Creative Commons BY-licensed. It has to be a CC-BY song, otherwise I can't legally use it and distribute my video with that license. I am careful to specifically license my videos, in order for others to use them legally.

Not sure if they are allowed. It would depend on the guard I guess...

haha never thought of that one.. good idea :)

I have a monopod, but I can't lie. Being Greek I am street smart, but my (French) husband doesn't approve of such behavior. ;)

The music information is in the credits. More info also here about the music I use: osnews.com/story/20575/Guide_to_Creative_Commons_Media_for_Videographers

I do not use a 35mm adapter. All shallow DoF you see there is coming from a bare HV20 after zooming at around 75% or more. I also use an ND filter when shooting outdoors.

Thanks Greg.

I gave the information acout CC music on one of my replies above and I have credits too. Anyways, here's the info again: osnews.com/story/20575/Guide_to_Creative_Commons_Media_for_Videographers

60i, 1/2000th shutter speed or cinemode. Neutral color.

I use Vegas Pro for editing, and Magic Bullet for color grading.

FCE doesn't have MB, but it has enough color tools to be able to color grade it manually. The only thing really missing from FCE in my opinion is true 24p editing support. Make sure you update it to the latest version btw after you install it from the CD.

Well, someone told me it worked with FCE 4.0.1 (even tho Red Giant told me it was for FCP only) and I took a chance and bought MB Looks. It works pretty good with FCE. I love Looks and may buy FCP someday, but now I'll just keep using Express.

And Eugenia, this was SOOO good. I loved it.

No, it's just an HV20 with an ND filter.

It's in the credits.

I actually am a fan of cinemode now, I wasn't in the beginning, but this has changed. However, the video was shot in 1/2000th shutter speed TV Mode because I needed the high frame rate for these shots.

I find cinemode is good for low light, at least in my tests. Sure the picture is not as bright, but there is also no harsh noise.

You use an ND filter and 1/2000th shutter? I'd assume this allows your aperture to be wide open then. What ND filter do you use?

A Tiffen 0.4 one.

Thanks. If you are using FCS, you can use "Color", no need for Magic Bullet.
