5. Wind power (HD)
2 years ago
UPDATE: I uploaded a new version based on the comments I got here - thanks everyone: vimeo.com/686604
This was shot in Volderslev just south of Odense, Denmark.
Modern wind turbines were invented in this country and Danish turbines have a world market share of 50%. Denmark gets about 20% of its power from wind turbines.
The world's largest turbine company Vestas.com (located in Denmark) took over NEG Micon (another Danish company and the maker of these wind turbines) a few years ago.
Getting close to these 'monsters' is a bit scary. They don't actually make a lot of noise, but while I was there, two of them activated their 'air brakes' which scared me quite a bit. They do this for safety reasons when the wind gets too strong. I managed to get footage of one of these 'air brakes' happening, so look closely.
I edited this video in the Canon HG10's supplied software and exported the footage as DivX @ 5000kbps.
I used the TV setting with shutter speeds of between 1/250 and 1/2000.
I used a custom 'image effect':
Col. depth @ +
Sharpness @ +
Contrast @ +
Brightn. @ +
White balance @ sun
Quality setting @ HXP (15.000kbps)
Frame rate @ PF25 (PAL)
A tripod was used all the time.
Music:

Thankyou Eugenia
That said, I agree with Eugenia that often shorter is better. The way I feel is that even if you have really beautiful video, the longer you hold on static shots, the more likely your viewer is to get bored and move on before the video is over. However, if you try quicker cuts on the same video, it gives the viewer a reason to watch it again. Hope that's helpful.
Cheers.
I agree that it could be a bit shorter though, but the quality of the HG10 footage continues to amaze me :)
Eugenia, why don't you post your tips here so everyone can learn from them?
