I've mainly been using instrumental music for these teasers - but to be honest, I've always wanted to use music more in line with this teaser.

If I can help it, at least half of the soundtrack will be music you're used to hearing in these teasers, and the other half will be more... old, lonely, love-related. There's a good reason for that - but one I'll save for the film.

Until then - here's a shot of Larry pushing slowly back against the winds in ND... alone on the road with nothing left to do but think about everything his life has been, and everything he wants it to be.

Very impressive performance from that camera. Waving fields of grass usually stress video compression chips to the max.
mike ambs ☂ 3 months ago

Hey Wayne :) Yea, the Z1u was a great camera. I do miss it some days. I need to find a waving field of grass to see how my HF10 handles...
Nic 3 months ago

Your HF10 can probably do just as well, *or better* if you extract the 4:2:2 *almost* uncompressed video from the HDMI port. The trick is building a system that can handle all that data. I'm going to try doing it with my HV20 by funneling the data through an Intensity card on the MacPro, and then onto a eSATA RAID.

There are fantastic fields of grass on Hwy 1 going to Lompoc, so when I have something to post, I'll send a link.
mike ambs ☂ 3 months ago

See :) now I want to learn more about this stuff, it's over my head. Someone the other day responded to a forum question I had about the HF10, suggesting a check out the Matrox MXO2 Mini. Is that the same kinda' thing you're talking about?

So, this might be a dumb question. But do I have to capture the footage over the HDMI port as I'm recording? Or do I loose compression during the import? So I can film all I want, then bring it back home, connect it to my MacBook Pro via the HDMI port and bring everything in 4:2:2?

I think the music works well...from what I remember of being on the plains it's very lonely in a good way......
mike ambs ☂ 3 months ago

Thanks baby * And yes, the plains are very lonely in all the best ways.

Hey Mike, what's the aspect ratio we see here? Is the film going to be standard 16x9? Or a montage of different formats from various cameras (Larry's, the 16mm etc.)?

I love wide aspect ratios... although I usually work in 4x6. :) But there is a special place in my heart for the wide.
mike ambs ☂ 3 months ago

Hey Neil :) This is 2.35:1... this is the aspect ratio the finished film will be in. Although yes, there will be scenes in which Larry's personal footage is played with surrounding black.

Hey Mike....

Why don't you add your video's annymore Travelling the World on a bicycle?

vimeo.com/groups/wereldfietser

See you soon?
mike ambs ☂ 3 months ago

Hey Blanche :) thanks for the reminder - I'll add this to the group. Also, I need to double check some of the other teasers to see if they made it in ok... I've been having some minor bugs with adding video to groups / channels lately.

Thanks for watching!

did you shoot this with an anamorphic lens?
mike ambs ☂ 2 months ago

Hey Mataikan :) No, actually all the footage for the film was shot in 16:9 and cropped in FCP.

I love your Anamorphic group - thanks for adding some of my videos!
