Created for an Internet Video Production class at Columbia College Chicago. We create any kind of web show, then promote it ourselves as homework! Sweet class!

Did video at 60fps 1920x1080i in raw H.264 capture using iShowU HD

then converted to the new Pro Res LT for fast rendering with all the motion use.

Exported raw file using Pro Res 4444 Codec

then used Compressor with full frame settings to bring to 720p at 30fps

Did the music and voiceover recording in Ableton Live 8 using midi and a custom synthesizer.

I'll try to post more about my DIY adventures at cheesycam.com

People have asked me about what I used to make the stabilizer. So i've revised the video a bit to include photos of the stabilizer and information about the parts. I've also attached a few photos of my 5D Mark II mounted 'Right Side Up' and also "Upside Down" for those very low flying shots. I call it the CheesyCam Stabilizer ('cause it's kinda cheesy LOL)

All parts available at Home Depot. I was literally sprinting to keep up with the kids, but the stabilizer worked pretty well.

Camera 5D Mark II with Sigma 20mm. Sorry video isn't HD I was going for functionality of the stabilizer on this demo, not video quality.

What I've learned is that the wider the shot the smoother the video comes out. Just like when you take photos. With a zoom lens each little movement is exaggerated and vibration is multiplied. So using a stabilizer helps alot, but shooting wide is most important for these fast running shots. Anything over a 50mm lens doesn't come out as well. If you're looking for a lightweight lens to use with your 5D Mark II video footage, I suggest the 28mm (plastic) Canon Lens. In this video i'm using a 20mm Sigma F/1.8 (shown in the beginning photos), but it's still pretty heavy compared to the 28mm.

At INSIGHT OUT 2009 Brian Van't Hul held a lecture on his recent project, the 3D stop motion feature "Coraline". At the beginning of his lecture he gave a short introduction to the basic knowledge of stereo 3D that is summarised in this video.

Using the live-action 3D concert movie "U2 3D" as an example, Steve Schklair (USA) explained the differences between shooting in 2D and in 3D at INSIGHT OUT 2009. In this interview he is talking about the influence of alternative cinema content on the traditional film market.
