Trails - Pre Shoot
2 years ago
THIS IS TEST FOOTAGE - I got home and started cutting together the footage to get a quick idea of how it looked, and I couldn't stop. :)
We're working on a short 3 minute mountain biking piece, and needed to test some locations and shots. John (the rider) was kind enough to come along and be our model for a day, show us the trail, and kick up some dust. Most shots are taken from a car, at 100-200mm, on a road bumpier than a thirteen year old kids forehead.
Shot with the D300s with the Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 and 17-35mm f/2.8.
This is the temp edit, but much of these shots will be filled in with the final footage we shoot in coming weeks.

I love the D300s. The video quality is quite good, and I actually really like the better implementation of the codec and capture from the chip. At first I didn't see a lot differences on the surface between the D300s and the D90. But as I've used it, I've seen quite a few of these little things that make working with it much simpler.
Of course there are limitations, but there will always be limitations. There are limitations when shooting film, when shooting the RED, 5D etc.
My feeling is that you can either work around the limitations, or you can waste your time complaining about them. I prefer to go out and learn with what I have available at the time.
Have fun shooting!
• Great philosophy on DSLR cinematography
Got my D300s arriving in a few days :)
Thanks so much!
Congrats on the D300s. Sounds like you're gonna love it. Hit me back when you get some footage rolled out.
The Raleigh content in the reel, was one of my very first productions shot in SD on a Canon XL1s... it was for Raleigh South Africa.
I'm actually planing on shooting some more MTB content for a new client twowheelstrading.co.za as I will be upgrading their website shortly.
Drop me an email if you want to know more!
I added you as a contact - I'm sure we'll be keeping in touch...
I am off on a cultural tour of Turkey for 5 days from the 22 Sep, so I'm really hoping my D300s arrives in time for that as I would love to test it out at some of the spots we are visiting!
I will post some shots if I do :)
We were going to be shooting addt'l footage this last week, but had to cancel due to inclement weather. Fall is coming fast here. Snowed here this week. And Al Gore is worried about global warming. If only...Hopefully we can get this done before winter comes.
the stabilizer of the camera works good?
I can't wait.
I'm currently researching a documentary on parkour and I'll be shooting it with my D200 and 300s, stills and motion capture. Getting well excited. Should have it by year's end.
