14. Abandoned City Part 1 HD
2 years ago
This is a short documentary capturing a group photo-blog shoot with a concept of Urban Decay. The location is an abandoned warehouse in Gary, Indiana. We drove down from Chicago very early on a Sunday morning to be safe since the area is shady.

I used a Canon HV20 with Crystal Vision wide lens, Calico Cam stabilizer, and a Manfrotto fluid head on a tripod. None of this video was directed, just capturing the day of events. At the end you might notice all the "junk", it's piles and piles of clothes.

The audio track is Snowflake by TrentMoller.

    i understand now,sorry .that stabilizer really works great.it adds to it so much
    thanks for posting
  • Heya Mikebuddy1, Thanks for your feedback!

    The part where I show up in the video while walking into the warehouse is only a tripod. I have the camera and LCD pointing at me, and holding the tripod out in front of me.

    As for the stabilizer, I used it on all the walking sequences.

    Thanks much!
