A film featuring a group of extremely talented Barefoot skiers on Lake Lanier in north east Georgia. This was shot completely handheld with the assistance of a SteadiStock gunstock mount. it was still a challenge overcoming the G-forces generated by the ultra high-powered ski boats used in the filming of this piece and of course the wakes of other boats. It was a wonderful learning experience on the 5Dmk2 and FCP.
On a personal note.. What a great group of people! I had the best time! and I would like to thank Betsy Anderson for putting this whole thing together for me!
I would be thrilled to work with this awesome group of people any time!!

it took me a LONG time to figure out the FCP workflow.. but here goes.. I edit it full 1080p then create a quicktime movie full resolution which ended up to be 2gigs... then use compressor to make a version for vimeo..which is H.264 1280x720 and that version ended up being just over 322 megs.. Go to the help section in vimeo and there is a video showing the setup which was very helpful..
With the shoulder brace set up, what lens was employed, (it's very stable). ?
Well Done.
for now I have the Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM AF Lens
it's a pretty good all around lens.. although on this shoot I found that fully zoomed in you loose about 1/2 an F-stop or more.. but I'm very pleased with the lens performance! I need to get some ND filters BAD!!

If you look at some of the shots in the video you can can see where I was adjusting the aperture during the shot.. unfortunately this is a still camera.. so there's no smooth way to do this.. it clicks up and down in increments making the adjustments more noticeable..
I wanted to keep the camera profile as small as possible so I decided to just use the built in mic on the camera.. there was no water protection for the camera, the boats used are designed for barefoot skiing and have very shallow v hulls like a drag boat and they run very fast and flat in the water with little wake or spray. I was worried more about staying steady the boat more than getting the camera splashed.. The boats had huge V8 engines and got up to speed in seconds!
