    Wow! Amazing video! What kind of chopper did you used? And which lenses?
  • Michael Ragen plus 3 months ago
    Thanks David! We had bunch of Nikon glass for one camera and the Red 18-50 for the other. Don't recall all the specific glass. The chopper was custom and was rockin an HVX200.

    Video looks great, but somehow I fail to see any connection with the "music" which is shrill to my ears. Great work on the visuals, and the helicopter is THE most fascinating part of the whole video. I'd love to see more visuals just on the chopper, the rest is ok, but the chopper, man that's one nice little piece of machinery especially with the camera, it rocks!

    Congratulations. Amazing song, wonderful video. Beautiful colors; very effective usage of depth of field. Great production work. It's good to see the RED and other high-tech gadgets put to such good use.

    beautiful; might not want to open the lens that much, saw some chromatic aberration
  • Michael Ragen plus 3 months ago
    that wasn't from the lens.

    No one in their right mind would use a carbine to shoot a flying bird. Its good for two things, big game hunting and shooting people. It is NOT a bird gun. (the rifle used is actually a military carbine) While I love the music and the video "works", perhaps a little common sense in the picking of the firearm would keep people from reading this wrong.

    Maybe he wasn't trying to shoot the bird?

    Good job guys. The band kinda has a Wolfmother feel and sound.
