Pretty , did they allow a tripod in there?
Eugenia Loli-Queru 7 months ago

Nope...

Stunning Eugenia! Great colors. Would never know you didn't have a tripod. Great work.
Eugenia Loli-Queru 7 months ago

I had a stabilizing tool with me, just not a tripod. ;)

Amazing footage and editing.
w.pasman 6 months ago

Great, all these moving bright colored objects!

What did you use for stabilization?

I had to rename the .unk extension to m4v to play back the downloadable version.

The only problem I saw was that many images seem lightly out of focus. Why is that?
Eugenia Loli-Queru 6 months ago

No, it's not .m4v, it's .mp4. I mention this in the description. The .unk happens because of a bug on Vimeo (it's a new bug of theirs for a couple of weeks now).

Only one image is out of focus AFAIK, which one are you referring to? Besides, everything is shot behind a thick glass and not much light, so you can't expect HV20's full sharpness in these conditions.
Mark Jensen 6 months ago

WOW!!!!! and WOW!!!! this is amazing footage. your aquarium video beats mine "out of the water"... here's my HD video i did a long time ago at the Atlanta Georgia Aquarium. but again, not even close to yours....love the credits....

Eliza Schultz 6 months ago

Awesome video! I am curious too... what did you use for stabilization? I am in the market for a tool that can be used in such places.
Eugenia Loli-Queru 6 months ago

Ok, too many people ask I got to reply to this... it was a monopod, that was used after an agreement with the facility.
Bill B 4 months ago

One way that might work without permission is to tie a string to a 1/4" coarse thread bolt, and screw the bolt into the bottom of the camera. Let the string hang down to the floor and step on it. A small weight, like a washer, on the end of the string might help. Then pull up on the camera to tighten the string while shooting. It's kind of a reverse monopod that fits in a pocket.

Looks amazing how do you shoot thru glass without getting glare or reflection? i have a 100 gallon african cichlid tank id like to film.. also the credits are sweet. is that hard to do? im just switching to vegas from pinnacle
Eugenia Loli-Queru 4 months ago

The aquarium rooms are dark with the tanks lit from the bottom or top, so the glares are not easily visible. No, the credits are easy to do. Going to Vegas from Pinnacle is a good idea if you want more control.

very nice, it's funny in my Monterey Aquarium video i got the same jelly.. yours looks better though, i gotta admit
David Domínguez 4 months ago

Eugenia, Best regards, Congratulations, I�ve just bought an HG10 camcorder, and your videos are great..!! Im learning from your tutorials... Cause I dont like how I am shooting for now, rendering for DVD, I think decrease the original quality. or what do u think?
Rusty Rogers 3 months ago

Nicely done!

We took the kids to the M.B.A. when the jelly exhibit was new. Really mesmerizing... we were there in line when it opened and had to be thrown out at closing! I went home with the music CD from the exhibit called "Jelly Music" and it comes up on the home player occasionally. It takes me back every time... so does this video.

Thanks!

Eugenia,nice video.
How do i download it though, there's no download button. I've never downloaded a clip from Vimeo,i never seem to have a "download" button.

Thanks.
Paul.
Eugenia Loli-Queru 3 months ago

It is on the right sidebar of the video page. It reads:

Downloads
1280x720, 185.64MB

You can download it there as long as you are logged in to Vimeo, and then rename the .unk file to .mp4 file.
paul kellett 3 months ago

Euginio.
All i have is "like", "share", "embed","HD is on" and "full".
I get this on all vimeo clips i watch. Even when i log in.
Oh well,not your fault,must be something with vimeo.

Thanks anyway,Paul.
Eugenia Loli-Queru 3 months ago

Ah, I see what you are talking about. I am talking on the sidebar on the right of the page, not on the flash video itself.

BTW, always reply to a specific comment by clicking "Reply to this comment", not by using the input box below.

Nice;
btw: try to set expousure to -3 or -4 in dark scenes to remove grain/noise, it works
michael langridge 2 months ago

yeah I think you should mention that it's way way at the bottom right - not to the right of the vid itself...you have to scroll down to the bottom of the RHS column sidebar
NobleSavage 3 months ago

Very Nice. I tried shooting at my local aquarium (they were fine with the tripod) but I had a bunch of problems with glare from the acrylic/glass. My cam also picked up scratches on the acrylic and spots the staff needed to clean. The colors were kind of washed out and the lighting not good... So I gave up. I'm just learning.
Stephen Lewis 3 months ago

Holy Guacamole that was awesome! I can't believe how good that little HV20 is! Did you use a preset in Magic Bullet?
Eugenia Loli-Queru 3 months ago

Many different presets, depending on the scene.

Awesome Blossom! We just went to Epcot Center last weekend and saw a couple of these at their aquarium. They had nowhere near the variety of this one though.
