I like the colors and I love the music, what is it?

One of the tracks is Springsteen.

Is the vignetting from the lens or done in post?

This is really great. I think this was done by Jon Kane from Optic Nerve. They do really good work there.

Adorei a textura das imagens e movimentação de câmera, sem falar na edição... maravilhoso trabalho, parabéns

Spectacular images... to yankee for me.

Nice sound design.

Very cool images. Great music and sound design

Incredibly cool :) Lots of really neat shots of the workers and boats.

Wow, that is beautiful! The colour is really fabulous!

Cool shots man. Well done.

Just awesome.. wonderful job... wish I had the moeny for a camera like that

I loved it already and then you topped it off with Bruce. Looked like it was directed by Michael Bay with John Schwartzman as DP. It's always special to see something unscripted and live turn out so cinematic and smooth. It's also unique how a casual video assignment from a friend can turn into a one-stop demo reel. Great camera work and decisions both on the boat and in front of the computer. DEFINITELY re-upload it as 1280x720 HD, don't hold back it's full potential.

Stock HVX lens? Really? Wow. Very nice.

Amazing video. For only one camera, you were a lot of different places. The sound added a huge amount to it, especially in the opening sequence. Your text at the top makes it sound easy, but it takes great skill to put a film like this together.

Great job, you have the right to be proud of this. Funny, all that time down to 4min. I love that about video.

what`s the name of the song? plz

amazing

Wow really terrific work I'm blown away. Every choice you made here was the right one. I love how you included sounds from the shoot in the soundtrack as opposed to just having music, which is what most people would of done myself included.

The images are gorgeous, the shots are filled with energy, they're organic, natural. Honestly I'm pretty jealous, I'm not very good with filming live events, I need time to set up shots and lighting and so on, but this looks like a professional team helmed by a veteran DP shot this.

Anyway I'm rambling again, thanks for sharing :)

Awesome shots!

Very impressive and powerful, coming from an Aussie !!!

this is very beautiful!

Nice flow, timing and rhythm. Colors were nice, looking raw and fit nicely too the theme, kind of rugged. Also very good camera work and placement. Others and myself included, liked the sound work, mixing live with great background sound choices. liked also the battle sounds, speeches, etc, which added an overall rugged sea-going and historic sentiment to the work. Edited nice. Not overly fast clipped with transitions. Sound and footage connected nice to the flow of the story. Thought the Bruce song was fitting too. In the end you made a great promotional piece of what was just one but important example of what your friends company does and how they go about their business. He must be very happy. You are a bit modest, because there is much time involved both in front of the computer and behind the camera for sure. Great professional work!!!

Great shots, great cinematography! A little too busy in my humble opinion, but fantastic overall!

Very nicely done...

Super pictures and a great edit.

Nice look....the music though....??

Nice video! In the description you spelled it as McCallister, but on the boat it looked like McAllister, which is how I spell my name actually. I just noticed since I've been working on family tree stuff.

P E R F E C T - Congratulations, Jon. It´s one of the few really professional videos I have found in Vimeo -amog the rest I include my own amateur ones-.
Everything was great: Shots, color, editing (specially), music, sounds, mood, essence...
Hard to believe you just made it with HVX Stock lens... I even noticed a subtle tilt-shift shot but I guess it´s just your proffesional use of it.
Thanks for sharing and teaching

Realy cool, nice job

Bravo!!! This is brilliant!! Love it Jon!

this is great stuff ;-)

the coloring ist very nice, and the shotdynamic is just perfect ...

This is a great piece of work, showcasing the guys on the tug and making them the hero of the film. It's beautifully done - congratulations from a Sydney-sider.

Very well done.

As an ex-pat living in Brazil, brings a smile to my face. The best part about living somewhere else is the perspective and appreciation for home. I love it here in Brazil but watching this, seeing the American faces...it's f***ing GREAT!! This rocks!

wow!!! very nice job...
amazig coloring...

thank you for posting this! it's always inspirational for me to see other users put out such solid work--eggs me on to do the very best i can.

Kudos!

fantastic work.

Love your video. But stop with the false modesty. "Nothing Fancy". You take your craft very seriously and it shows.

What color settings did you use in Final Cut? Really, really great-looking stuff.

I really enjoyed it! Great editing nice mood!
Hope to see more from you.

wow!! this is realy good it looks like a movie!!

Awesome job Jon, very impressive : )

Very well done, I loved all the shots you captured... all the way down to the simple things like the water off the ropes and the pipe smoker.. The Music was also perfect, Great Job

wow, nice DOF, at first I thought it was AE composite. Nice work

Nicely done

You've done a brilliant job. everything from colour, composition and cutting at exactly the moment. Makes me want to work on a tug and I HATE the sea!

Incredibly impressive. I thought I was watching the Discovery HD Channel...

I look forward to seeing more of your films!

I love your work with the camera Jon - and what a great camera. The colour is fabulous. Most striking and powerful is your camera positioning - you have an artists eye, as well as the cinematographers sense of drama in movement.
One point I feel I must make: I think there is a loss of the Tug 'story' when you cut in the historic footage which I think and appreciate must tell the story of the Intrepid. So I think you'd have a better and more whole story without the b&w footage.
This is the first video I have seen on Vimeo and I shall eagerly look at more of your work. You have a real talent.

wow,now after reading a lot of the comments I don't know what to add,except your video makes a lot of the stuff out there seem....shoddy! well done

Great compositions and color. A celebration of the working class.
I was struck by the use of good ol'fashioned rope in this enormous undertaking.

nice quality

Vary nicely achieved!

Jon,
Speaking on behalf of my crew mates, I must sat we're very impressed with what you have put together, just looked fantastic.
We would love to have you back aboard in the future.

Very very nice. great shots and looks

This is one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen using final cut pro, especially considering the color effects were all basic parts of the software, just wow!

excellent cut, beautiful choice of music

Beautiful work! The polarizer filter made a real diference! And about the editing and post-production: perfect!!!

They hired the right man for the job. It is amazing what you did. Rally well done. Many people say they need more cameras, better software, a couple of asistants, or whatever... Here is an example that none of that is necessary if the man behind it has some serious talent, knowledge and experience! Bravo!

Incredible Piece. Well done! Seeing your other work, you have already inspired me personally, without even know who you were.
Love the use of slow motion and the clips of added sound to complete the feel of the intro. I thought that it lost something with the 'war films' and such. I would have just stuck with showcasing the crew and details of McAllister Tugs. The fact they were towing the Intrepid was a bonus. What if it was all about McAllister and then in the end you caught a glimpse of what they were actually towing that day?

Cinematography is very nice. good job.

Goog job,,i like soo much it...congratulations,,!!!

So beautiful!

The first word that came through "f.a.n.t.a.s.t.i.c", I loved it, and, another first for me, I watched it 3 times in a row... can't get enough... Thank you for a nice time and more to come I'm sure!!!

That was worth watching again and again! well done!

A luscious piece of work. Thank you; I've downloaded it to watch again and again full screen.

Wow, this is really amazing, looks like something out of a Michael Bay film!

The fluidity of the film is insane. I really like it actually inspires me to work harder to learn as much as i can...

Incredible! Love the colors, the music, the editing.
Waiting for your next movie!

This work will inspire my students in our new video/film program. It is even more powerful knowing that filming was done with only one camera. Thank you for this beautiful, powerful, graceful film.

really awesome dude! impressive shots

This is great work!

it's The Rising by the boss

I'm new here! This one is good. Excellent shots. Get rope burn just watching it!

Amazing work man. thank you for sharing it with us.

I liked this - very Micheal Bay
