This is a short demo reel of clips from projects I've lit, shot, edited, and color graded.

Most clips were shot on a Panasonic HVX200 or HPX170 with a Brevis system and Nikon lenses.
Edited on FCP and color graded in Apple Color.
Song: Röyksopp Forever, by Röyksopp.

This is a work in progress so please comment!

EDIT: Re-uploaded, you can actually see the video now!

There's some absolutely beautiful shots in there. Love the park stuff specially that dandelion shot and the inspi(red) wheel chair shot is amazing also. Nice color work on those clouds at the start. Swing shot is really cool and fun. Those are my favs.

I had seen your shots looking up the trees weeks ago and it must have inspired me to make an ink drawing of the same thing. :) Nothing special but I just realized those shots had stuck with me. I'll have to send you a link when I get a chance to scan my sketches.

Side note a few shots have some little bumps on dolly in/out. Maybe you could try out Shake's stabilizer. I've used it in the past with great results.

You've got some nice stuff. Keep'on shooting. :)

Here's that tree drawing you inspired:

Wow thank you so much for your comment! Your drawing is excellent! As for the dolly shot, I've corrected it quite a bit already because the original was insanely messy haha. I'll try making it a little more smooth though, thanks for the suggestion! Btw, I'm a huge fan of your Visual-Effects Reel... You have a ton of talent in that area! We should collab sometime!
Marc-André Gray 6 months ago

Thanks. Collaborating would be great. Let me know if you've got any ideas.

The shot at 1:08 remains your best. Is the green gradient artificially or is it some kind of weird lightleak?
Luke Pygman 6 months ago

Well the shot itself is actually a reflection of a tree in a small pool of water, so the green was actually moss. I added a green gradient to accentuate it though, along with a magenta and orange gradient on the other side. Thanks so much for watching!!

Some nice shots in here, brother.
Luke Pygman 6 months ago

Thanks Brent! I really like the 3D title on your reel, I would have liked to do something like that!
MariaNYC 6 months ago

Shot selections are great... nice combo. I would have liked to have them held a tiny bit less but that is just preference. It's a great reel.

One tech detail: some shots have a green line on the right or left you may want to rectify that if you will send it out....
Luke Pygman 6 months ago

Hey Maria! Thank you so much for watching! I definitely noticed the green line and that some of the shots could be cut down, thanks for the suggestions!

This really makes me want to learn "Color". I have the Lynda videos but I never seem to find them time... it seems like quite a cool (and powerful) app!
