San Francisco At Night

by Smoky Cat Productions

A short slideshow vid, using some night photos I took with my NEX-VG10 in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. The photos were edited in Lightroom 3 (which I am still learning), and exported as a slideshow vid.

Scarlet Macaw Hamming It Up For The Camera

by Smoky Cat Productions

This Scarlet Macaw was certainly "ready for his close up". I had no choice but to make him the star of my test footage, on my first day filming with the NEX-VG10. The only post on this was a very slight gamma adjustment, one pass with Neat Video Pro, titles, and a jungle drum intro. The video was filmed in Aperture Priority Mode, at a distance of approx. 20 yards, using the Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Zoom Lens that comes with the NEX-VG10.

Friendship Fountain Re-Opening - Sample Clip

by Smoky Cat Productions

This is a sample clip from a project that I am currently working on. The project was filmed at the reopening of Friendship Fountain ceremony in Jacksonville, FL on the evening of June 18, 2011. Unfortunately, I got some artifacting on this clip, which I am trying to eliminate in post. I like the mood set by the unknown couple in the foreground on this clip. Really works well with the song that was synched to the patterns, and colors of the fountain.

Sunset Times Nine

by Smoky Cat Productions

This sunset video was filmed at Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge as one clip, a little over a minute in duration. I divided the clip into 9 separate frames in post production, using Motion Wall to display the progression of the sunset in each frame. Sit back, relax, enjoy the music, and watch "Sunset Times Nine".
