It was very windy and very cold, since I was standing still most of the time. However, making this short was well worth it. For the first time, I used my new tripod - a Velbon Ultra Luxi L http://www.velbon.co.uk/newvelbon/pages/ultraluxil.html I love it. It's small and very easy to use / set up. Not perfect for paned shots, since it's made for digital cameras. I might get a fluid head for that or make a motor to do it for me :) Another first for me is my new Cokin P filters ( www.cokin.com ) - I used the 'Gradual Tobacco T2 Soft' (Cokin# p125s) all through this short. It works just like a colored ND filter, giving the footage a very 'golden' look and the sky doesn't 'blow out'. The footage is pretty much straight out of the camera. No contrast / sharpening was added. Only transitions and text. No cropping was done to it. Some of the images that are fully zoomed in, show just how windy it was today. I was shouting at God to please let me have one f...... decent shot. Then again, I was cold and hungry and really wanted to go home :D In this short you'll see http://www.oss.dk - Odense Steel Shipyard - also called the Lindoe Yard. It's owned and run by http://www.maersk.com who build the world's largest container vessels here. The ship you see (at 7.000 TEU) is not one of them. The last of 7 giants (11.000 TEU) just left the yard a few weeks ago. Parts of Odense Fjord are set aside as a bird sanctuary. I guess the birds love the strong winds - plenty to see during these 4 minutes. Hope you enjoy it. Music by Röyksopp http://images.vimeo.com/25/10/16/251016510/251016510_200.jpg 200 150 746718
