Beautiful video. If you don't mind me asking, how are you achieving such smooth panning shots? thanks

Dramatic......

I was wondering about that too, especially when combined with smooth zooms. I would be happy with just one of those - both is just being greedy ;)

Hmm, should have watched your other videos first as there was I slight clue there. How did you find the Glide Track in the field? Which version were you using?
Manuel Benito de Valle 3 months ago

Amazing. Congratulations.
Kert Gartner 3 months ago

Which glidetrack are you using? The SD or HD version?
Chris Benny 3 months ago

Hi Kert.

I am using the SD, but I recommend using the HD as I get a lot of flex due to the weight of the 5D and L lens.

Benji Smith 3 months ago

Love the grade. Is that straight out of the camera or did you color correct in post?
Chris Benny 3 months ago

Hi Benji.

I graded the footage through Photoshop.
I am still trying to learn video and plan on using Final Cut Pro's Color application next time.
Benji Smith 3 months ago

Thanks. I really like the look of the shot at :49.

Yes I work with FCP Color all the time and it is quite a powerful tool. Be carful not to let it suck you in for hours.

awesome, maybe 5DIII will be designed primarily for video production
Chris Benny 3 months ago

I just wish canon would bring out a dedicated FF video camera that is compatible with their EF lens series. Something that would shoot 60 or 120fps too. I would buy one! :)

Really incredible, beautiful footage. Was your Glidetrack 0.5 meters or 1 meter?
Dale Kamp 1 month ago

Very epic scenery. The cinematography is outstanding!

Is that The Last Samurai music? I know I heard that theme somewhere.
Idsz 25 days ago

Some images look so surreal that I almost suspected CGI ;) but since I've worked with 5D markII footage I know that's not the case and the only thing I can say is that this footage is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, some being better than LotR. can't wait to go to New Zealand some day

hi Chris.
This video is just amazing.
Is there any way to download it, my girlfriend lives in china so she cannot have access to vimeo as the website is censored. I really want her to see this.
