Bit of fun with the Lumix GH1, Sigma f1.4 30mm, Glidetrack compact and my cats.

Song is the classic "We are Siamese" sung by Peggy Lee.

All shot at 720 50fps and slowed down to 25p for overcrank in Cinema Tools

    AAArrgghh!!! It's half two in the morning, I am busy burning DVD's for a client and I now have "I am Siamese if you please" stuck in my head for the night.

    May you be cursed by the fleas of a thousand camels Mr. Bloom :D

    Good job as always.

    i can't watch that in UK. it is banned. What is it?
  • Keith Gallagher plus 4 months ago
    It's a "Rick-roll"
  • Ben Bunch plus 3 months ago
    Rick-roll is banned in the UK? Lol. Damn your oppressive big-brother society! It's a brave new world out there but you guys are stuck in 1984!

    Thanks for posting this, was very curious to see how that lens would look. I like it.

    That Glidetrack seems to work really well too.

    those are some cool zolly focus moves!
  • Felipe Tavares plus 4 months ago
    Zolly focus?
  • Jackson Miller 4 months ago
    Wouldn't it be a folly? Or a focolly? A Zolly is a zoom dolly. So a focus and dolly would be focolly. But then again, he isn't actually changing the focus in many of the shots. The focus stays the same and it is actually the subjects that are moving in and out of that point as he dollies.

    That's a serious short DOF. I had the Sigma 30/1.4 but sold it... maybe i should get it again.

    Are the yellow colorcast from the Sigma? I got similar colors on AWB with my Nikon.

    I'm curious about the glidetrack. It seams to work very well :)
  • Philip Bloom plus 4 months ago
    the colours are all from the grade. glidetrack compact is great!
  • editman plus 4 months ago
    Great video and lovely cats! I'll might try that glidetrack it works super in this video and the other one you did with the Russian guy is excellent.

    Really nice, makes me want to take a break and edit something for ME! Relaxing. Makes me wish I were a cat.
  • Philip Bloom plus 4 months ago

    Three legged cat is a star. Please do a whole film on him/her.
  • Philip Bloom plus 4 months ago
    three legged cat? where?!
  • bimdas plus 4 months ago
    the non-siamese one. He's a character. must be a weird camera angle because it appears he is missing a front leg.

    Please, no offense, but this does not capture the true spirit of a siamese cat. Having had two myself, they have to be the loudest pets I've ever had. If the video was three minutes of Meeeeoooooooowwwwwwrrrrrrrr then I'd think you have a video of Simese. I can only think these two were on sedatives or something ;-)
