Beautiful video. If you don't mind me asking, how are you achieving such smooth panning shots? thanks
Stewart Johnstone 2 years ago

Well.... That should lead a few people to see New Zealand.
Dramatic......
Stewart in Scotland.
Andrew Howe 2 years ago

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 ;)
Andrew Howe 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

Amazing. Congratulations.
Kert Gartner 2 years ago

Which glidetrack are you using? The SD or HD version?
Chris Benny 2 years 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 2 years ago

Love the grade. Is that straight out of the camera or did you color correct in post?
Chris Benny 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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! :)
Patrick van der Heyden 2 years ago

You chose really a great music for that gorgeous country ! I'm impressed to see how well the flares are handle at 1:22-1:26

I wish I had such a camera when I filmed this short filmed in New Zealand: vimeo.com/8320849 , would have get much better and sharper images than with the Hv30 + dof... And much lighter to carry around !

Really incredible, beautiful footage. Was your Glidetrack 0.5 meters or 1 meter?
Dale Kamp 2 years ago

Very epic scenery. The cinematography is outstanding!

Is that The Last Samurai music? I know I heard that theme somewhere.
Ids 2 years 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
