This was one of the rare days that the wind was to Larry's back - which also meant that I didn't have to fight the wind when working the crane.

Most days it felt like trying to steady a massive sail with a camera on the end of it - but this day, the wind kept perfect pace with us, and I could move the camera almost anywhere without any real resistance.

This shot is a snippet from the middle of a longer 360˚ that follows Larry. But if I posted the whole rotation, it would be about 2 min... and that's not much of a teaser.

  • gonna call you "mr steadyhand" from now on - will you be at sxsw this year?
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 9 months ago
    Ha ha :P Well - I have Final Cut's smoothcam to thank for taking out the horizontal sway. But thanks all the same.

    I'm hoping I'll be there - depends on a few things... *fingers crossed*

    i can`t believe how smooth that shot is. no shake at all.

    looks great.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 9 months ago
    Thanks Ayz :) Yea, the shots where the camera was on the crane don't have as much trouble with smoothcam... the lens can't shift fast enough to really blur.

    Is that Brian Eno's 'music for airports'? It's been ages since I've heard that.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 9 months ago
    Hey Ivan :) Yea, it is. Jon Freeze sent me a mix with it on it - I've never actually heard it before... I'm out of the loop.
