220. Teaser 009

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 ☂ 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*
Ayz Waraich 9 months ago

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

looks great.
mike ambs ☂ 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.
chris leppla 9 months ago

can't wait to see this in it's entirety!

Is that Brian Eno's 'music for airports'? It's been ages since I've heard that.
mike ambs ☂ 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.
