    Very nice impressions from Roma and also very nice Typeface Gotham by Hoefler & Frere-Jones.
    I checked there website - upps 169$ and up.
    Or did you found a cheaper way to use this Typeface?

    are you doing all your color correction/manipulation in FCE?
  •  
  • Cameron Moll plus 2 years ago
    @ forester08: No, the only place you can purchase Gotham is H&FJ as far as I'm aware.

    @ Joshua Sweeny: Yes, though I didn't do a lot of color correction in this video. I could have and probably should have done more.

  • Terry Sutton 2 years ago
    I love when people use simple tools to create beautiful things. This looks like it could have been shot by Sony or Miramax.

    You should show this to everyone you know - every family member, every friend, every colleague, every future and past client and tell them: I'm a designer.

    This, sir, is incredible. I am humbled and inspired.

    Ugh… So… Freaking… Jealous… :)

    Truly, gorgeous. The music was perfect. I loved the emphasis on tight shots w/ the smattering of wider ones for the context. Good cuts to the music.

    LOL, so basically I hate you. :)

    Beautifully shot video. Has any color correction been done or is all the footage raw from the camera? The black and white looks exceptionally nice.
  •  
  • Cameron Moll plus 2 years ago
    @ Chris Cusson: The black and white was done using the Gradient Colorize and Add Noise filters in Final Cut Express.

  • Jeremy Fuksa plus 2 years ago
    What were your camera settings on this? This looks much better than some of the footage I'm getting out of my HG10. However, it's quite possible that this footage looks better because the subject matter is much better. :)

    nice footage!Never been to Rome ...Yet :)
    Good steady shots.You also used a tripod?
  •  
  • Cameron Moll plus 2 years ago
    @ Jeremy Fuksa: Go to Menu > Camera Setup > Frame Rate and choose the PF24 setting. Make sure the button labeled "P / Auto" next to the zoom button (top of the camera) is set to "P".

    @ Boy Eysbroek: Yes, a tripod for some of the shots.

  • Amy Kellum 2 years ago
    I love this! I've watched it several times and it makes me smile. -- I especially love the shot of the paving stones. Walking and walking and walking around Rome was wonderful - looking down a lot because of the uneven streets - I found that when I got home, one thing I missed most was the slate gray stones of the streets. Thank you!

    Best "tourist" video I have ever seen, although it is more than that of course. Lived in Rome for 13 years..... going now, reluctantly, will keep a copy of this. Captures something indefinable. Great work. Thank you.

    Hey, just saw this after getting your colosseo email, and I enjoyed it.

    I did a video (really a series of 750 photos from a camera around my neck) of a bike trip through Rome, just a couple months after you were here -- around the end of May '09. You'll surely recognize some of the landmarks--take a look if you've got 3 minutes: vimeo.com/4929801

    Look forward to getting the poster!
