5x5-1
2 years ago
This is my first 5x5 film (5 subjects each for 5 seconds). It uses a collection of shots that I took during 2007 for a variety of other film projects. All are in standard definition (SD) and were captured with a Sony DVD201E.
The music is the first few bars of the theme from the film The Fog of War by Errol Morris; it was composed by Philip Glass.
I tried to "bookend" the 5 shots by starting with an image of fast moving clouds and ending with the corresponding shadows that they cast on the ground as they moved overhead.
The opening and closing shots were filmed in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney while the other three were shot on Brampton Island, one of the Whitsunday Islands which are located at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef.

In answer to your question: the video was shot on a Sony DVD201E in standard definition (SD). The camera produces MPEG2 video and Dolby stereo sound -- since I'm an Aussie, the camera records PAL format video rather than NTSC. I edit the footage using Adobe Premiere Elements. When it came to encoding something for Vimeo I followed advice given by Eugenia Loli at
eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/12/08/exporting-with-adobe-premiere-in-720p/
about the best output options for video to be uploaded to Vimeo. Basically, she recommended outputting Quicktime from Premiere. In her article referred to above there is a link to some screen captures which show the encoder settings she recommended -- I used what she suggested deviating where necessary to accommodate the fact that I started with PAL rather than NTSC.
BTW: Eugenia is active on Vimeo (vimeo.com/eugenia/videos) and although I'm only relatively new to Vimeo I have noticed that she is extremely active on the forums helping people like you and me out by answering technical questions.
See you later ...
Thanks for the inspiration.
