    Love and Aloha, iamKP-
  • iamkalaniprince plus 2 years ago
    probably some sort of reversed snorry-cam-esque rig.. must have turned a lot of heads.. " ahh, wtf is that on that dudes face !!"

    ahahaa !

    what are you talking about. I would like to know do you mean put a mirror on his face and shoot into that >?? I would love to know any ideas you got, I am working on a video like this right now. I would really like to know. matthew gorveatte

    My rig worked out pretty well. What do you guys think? vimeo.com/9344527
  • Spike Morris plus 1 year ago
    This video is simply phenomenal. Can't get enough of it! The looking upwards edits at 03:49 are beautiful. Me and a friend did an (amateur) video in POV style with a Panasonic LX3 and some sellotape after watching this video on a daily basis.

    To those of you interested in what the rig might be like, there's a glimpse of the operator's shadow at -01:44 btw.

    Anyways, here's my POV attempt:

    Its great! The story captured me. The video is great. i didnt heard music until it was the end of video, so it is good also. Everything sticks together perfectly.
    Good Job!!

    It would be interesting to see the face rig :) maybe post some picture somwhere ??
  • iamkalaniprince plus 2 years ago
    some kind of reversed snorry-cam ? I wonder if it was kinda mounted where his mouth was to he could still see.. : )..

    Probably one of the most creative videos I've ever seen.

    It took about 30 seconds or so for me to get into it, but after that it was strangely gripping. I really enjoyed it! Props to your editor as well.

  • Chris Beaumont plus 2 years ago
    Congrats! Really amazing production AND story. It's fantastic to see that there are 5D MkII vids being produced that are more than just tests to show what great pictures it can shoot.

    I don't suppose you have any pictures of the rig you used, or perhaps a bit more of a description about how you made it? I'm sure a lot of people would get a real kick out of seeing it in action.

    Well done again.
  • Hana Ofangel 1 year ago
