Just shot this footage of Smack of the Dirty Wormz getting some tattoo work done today, loved some of the shots so couldn't wait to post em. As it says when it starts, this is raw footage with no effects or post processing other then encoding, well, and some quick editing of course. =)

Think this one really shows off the Qulity of HD available here on Vimeo, the close shots of the motor and needles moving that fast are just incredible. Easily would be a garbled blurry mess if it was on anothere site.

Some of these shots along with some dialog we got at the shop are going to be cut into footage from the Dirty Wormz "Right Now" video for a spot thats going to run locally for their next gig at SXSW.

Shot with a Sony EX1 and edited with Sony Vegas

    Great work. Still trying to add you as a mod but can't. Have posted a bug report on the forum.

    Paul.

  • Yea these shots are pretty gnarly. The speed of the needle bouncing up and down is sick. I'd like to see some more.

    I'm impressed. Love your composition. good angles, nice lighting. Really moody. I agree, the closeups are killer.

    Can you post your encode settings. It was perfect.

    I use Vegas so here's the guide I used:

    There's also a thread on the forum for other NLE's:

    sick! good job on the short! one question - is your workflow done on PC with Vegas? I was thinking on picking up the EX1 but heard it was only compatible with the mac.
  • Underground Planet plus 2 years ago
    I'm PC, Sony Vegas, your source would appear to be incorrect. I haven't had any issues and I got mine pretty early in its release.

    Nice seeing some stuff straight outta the camera! Have always been curious about what you can get just raw from the EX1 but everything I see has been altered. U didn't use a Letus, right?
  • Underground Planet plus 1 year ago
    Appreciate it, but no Letus35 on this one, didn't have mine yet. This is just with the stock lens though I did switch it to "Macro" for some shots. =)
  • eat a bug 1 year ago
    Even cooler. Will have to ask you some private questions about EX1 as I am contemplating buying one!
  • Underground Planet plus 1 year ago
    Sure man, hit me up with a message and I'll do what I can.
