Beautiful Brad ! Nice ideas in this too, like timelapse of the tide rising up.
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

Really really great stuff, really like the streaky traffic footage and the bike stuff of Jeremy
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

Thanks... the bike shots were some scary moments for the camera. But I love the way they came out.
brandon mckenney 2 months ago

All of this is just mindblowing. I am in love with the scene looking up at the trees w/ the night sky and then it's overtaken by what I am assuming to be the auroras?
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

The forest shot was actually in Lake Tahoe. And what looks like the auroras are actually clouds. I was shocked in the morning when I saw it.
Alex 2 months ago

I agree! that shot is positively mind blowing. can you quickly explain to an amateur how you achieved that effect? were you rotating the camera a degree or two every so often? Phenomenal!
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

Sure Alex... I rotated the camera approximately a tenth of a degree for each shot. And each shot was around 30 seconds long at 33 second intervals. All together the shot took around 7-8 hours if i remember right.
rawmeyn 1 month ago

this was amazing! so you did this by hand??? I guess the 'zoom in' on some shots were done in post? Thanks for the information!

Beautiful video! How did you do the panning shots, and what's the music?
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

Thanks... I used a mumford moco for the panning shots. And the music is just a stock track from soundtrack. I usually dont use these but this one seemed to work perfectly.
CA Assembly GOP 2 months ago

Can you list some of the settings used on the Cannon? Frame rate, shutter, total length (in hours) of each sequence etc... And what filter/effect did you use to alter the look in a few shots?
Fantastic stuff
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

Thank you,

Thats a deep question. Haha... Each shot varies depending on the time of day, the movement, etc... But as an example, the first shot, Emerald Bay at Lake Tahoe, was 30 sec exposures every 32 seconds and if I remember right it took about 6 hours. And I use lightroom for post.

EastmanDC 2 months ago

Wonderful shots. The compositions are incredible Can you share your video editing/compression settings? The video is strikingly clear.
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

Thanks EastmanDC...

These clips area all 1080p 30fps. I export full res out of FCP. Then I compress to H.264 with at least 5000 bit rate. Sometimes I go a little higher on the bit rate as well. Hope that helps.
JK 2 months ago

Some films capture beauti so well that you can feel emotions. Me being someone that lives in the flatlands, but needs to be in nature up in the mountains...it really makes my eyes water a little bit. Good job.

Wish I could be more like you Brad. Good for you there's only one! BKF.... sounds promissing but are you still a part of MDP?
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

Hey thanks JK. I appreciate the kind words.

I left MDP last year and started working for Burton. I dont know what my next plan is yet though. Time will tell...

Jacob Sutton 2 months ago

hey brad nice work really enjoyed it, i was wondering if you have tried the 5d mark2 for snowboarding and i heard some things with rolling shutter. and the 7d is coming out soon and i was seeing if these dslr are good for filming snowboarding.

thanks
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

Hey Jacob,

Yes I have shot the 5D Mark II with snowboarding quite a lot. It is not perfect for snowboarding thats for sure. It is not a replacement for a good "video"camera for action. But, if used correctly, in the right circumstances it does produce some amazing shots of action. Check my video The Basic Teaser. There are several 5D Mark II shots in it. And a lot in the movie. I wouldnt want it to be my only camera, but it's a GREAT addition to the bag.

Hope that helps
Brandon R 2 months ago

what song did you use in the background
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

It's a track from soundtrack in the FCP suite.

Fantastic!
Shane Bell 2 months ago

I think (although I am not completely sure) that you accomplished the toy-like affect by doing a few things.

First, you used a long lens to compress the scene (unless I am getting that backwards.) Then you either used a shallow depth of field, or simulated on with post-pro. Finally is the vignetting.

I think?

Excellent job. I rather enjoyed this. I definitely learned something from this too.

Shane
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

Not quite like that Shane. The selected focus is accomplished with a tilt shift lens.

Glad you enjoyed!

amazing, and very inspiring ... well done!
i have question if you don't mind.
I understand that the camera movement is done by this rotary device attached on the tripod but how have you done this kinda zooming effect ? also what kind of lenses did you used ?
thanks !
Brad Kremer 2 months ago

Thank you... The zooms are done in post using FCP.

I used a variety of Canon lenses.
15mm 2.8 fish
16-35mm 2.8
50mm 1.4
90mm TS 2.8
70-200mm 2.8

Just wondering, but howd you do the tilt-shifting? A lens or in post?
