We love Point Lobox in Fog. Hope some of the mood comes over in the video. The clips are part of a long term documentary about Big Sur and Point Lobos.

Here are some clips (no sound) that we shot in the San Juan Bautista State Park. Especially the Bar room is very dark. All clips were shot with the 7D and the Canon 50mm f/1.2 (mostly about ISO 600 -800).

Shot at 1080p and down sampled to 720p.

We like this combination for indoor scenes.

Note: The Pool scene is not slow motion. We cannot really play these balls in a museum :-).

Just a couple of shots thrown together with a beat to get some Avid training - so far I still like FinalCut better...

This is just an old file that I’ve had for a very long time. Once I ever get the chance, I will make a higher quality version with much more clips. This version is sort of a preview of what I’m going to upload in the future.

I took these with the Sony HC1 in August of 2005.



Back in 2002, I shot a few scenery scenes with a 1 chip JVC Mini DV camcorder while on vacation in the Azores and although I later bought the Panasonic DV953 thinking that I might be going back in 2003, it never happened because I was stoplossed. I couldn’t leave the military in around June like I originally planned even though I was injured and couldn’t go to Iraq because of that. I mean putting me in Iraq in crutches would not have been a good idea. I eventually left in the 9th September 2003, but the though of going to the Azores when summer is just ending seamed like a bad idea and a waste of money. I eventually went to college and about 1 to 2 weeks before I graduated, I bought a Sony HC1 to take with me to the Azores in 2005. In December 2006, it fell off my bed, and suddenly stopped working properly so in January 2008 when I needed to take an emergency trip to the Azores because my Grandmother had been getting sick I had no choice but to get myself the Aiptek A-HD camcorder and you‘ll see those shots in another one of my videos on Vimeo. By the way, the DV953 got somehow lost while I was on the train around a year after I bought it.

Anyway, it seams very awkward that in the summer of 2005, I went their with an extremely popular HD camcorder and in January 2008 I went their with the Aiptek A-HD. Next time I go their, I just got to have an expensive camera with me and the Panasonic HPX3700 would be an excellent choice. Realistically, I’d be happy with either the Panasonic GH1 or the JVC HM100.


OK, I hope I didn’t bore some of you.
