    I like this sooo much! How you recorded all those people! Just fascinating.
    Did you ask permission to most of them, or did you just shoot?

    Philip, I think this is your best work I have seen so far. Great atmosphere, great direction of photography, great grading... just wow.

    How much time did it take you to create this, shooting and editing?
  • Philip Bloom plus 2 years ago
    Thanks, the filming took about 4 hours, editing about 4 hours too including grading.

  • Oliver Beattie 2 years ago
    Absolutely wonderful work. Made even better as I know all of those places inside out — but the filming and music were just spot-on. You definitely picked the right day to film this — so atmospheric!

    Again, a marvel to watch. Thanks and looking forward to your next works.

  • Deimos 2 years ago
    You are a genius.

    The sharpness is awesome for a 35mm adapter, but how did you create the side defocus? it's tweaking the lens or made in post?
  • Philip Bloom plus 2 years ago
    thanks! I used Hartblei shift tilt lenses
  •  
  • Steve Beck 2 years ago
    This is INSANELY good! Very Jealous!!

    In fact, I'm gonna delete my channel cos there's no point me even TRYING to do something as good as this!

  • Jason Brooks 2 years ago
    Real nice footage man, two questions for ya when you have a moment...

    1. What kit did/do you use for timelapse pans (as in the first shot?

    2. Have you enhanced/created any of the DOF effects on some shots? If so, how? If not, how did you capture such crazy planes of focus? On some shots it's basically perpendicular to the angle of the lens.

    Hope you can shed some light (no pun) on my technical wonderings...

    In general, both artistically and technically, your short is truly beautiful. You really did all that in 4hours shooting and 4hours post? Nice work.

    peas.

  • Philip Bloom plus 2 years ago
    If you look at my new short in Japan, that is a proper motorized timelapse. This was simply 1080p timelapse on a 720p timelime, zoomed in and tracker left to right!

    The lenses I used for that odd DOF effect are Hartblei shift tilt lensea, like lens babies.

    thanks!

  • travis 2 years ago
    a general sense of well being throughout the whole thing. The color schemes and movements of the people were very fluid and contrasting.

    Your camera work is AMAZING. You've given me a new appreciation for HD video, this was better than watching a crappy close-up sports game or video game or anything like that. I would pay good money to see more of this! Keep it up!!
  •  
  • DaVincicode plus 2 years ago
    Philip Bloom has carved himself a large pie of appreciation here at Vimeo.. "South Bank" is truly a great piece of work. I just think that putting the radiohead song to this visual delight was smart. I loved the train station scenes. It is the composition that makes Philip Blooms work shine. And shine it does...

    Philip-
    I have to aks - Whats up with your settings.
    Do you use shutter angles or shutter speeds.
    It looks like you are shooting the 60p stuff at 500 but I;m not sure. Also what about the other settings Gama, Etc.
  • Philip Bloom plus 1 year ago
    I should have shot at 50p due to the flickering lights but I forgot!
