Sequence shot By Dale Hildebrand

I did the post work.

This was a test to figure out the workflow for a large series of HDR time-lapses.

I'll push the HDR further on the next one. It's amazing how it bleeds-out when put into motion because each frame looked very textured.

This is a long process but has some great potential.

Hi all,

This is the HD version of the fulldome piece Second City. The dome master frames are just about 4k x 4k so using some custom software tools, I was able to extract a 16:9 version. This was displayed at the IPS conference in Chicago this past summer. The fulldome version can be seen here vimeo.com/1661019

Second City had its debut in Chicago at the annual DomeFest fulldome festival in July of '08. It took home the Harmony Channel Award for Best Fulldome Mood-Elevating Visual Music. All the images were shot using a Nikon D40x and a Sunex 185 degree fisheye lens. The music is entitled "Time Lapse" and was composed by Colin Willsher.

This is a movie we made for the Grandeur Nature film festival (festivalgrandeurnature.com), in summer 2007. It was intended to be projected as an appetizer before 35mm feature films

The idea was to emphasize the landscape beauty, and to propose an original point of view of this Alps region, as far as timelapse is...

Some shots are boring, some others beautiful...

As there is no end credits, here is a quick list of people involved into it :

• Shots were made by : Stephan Bonnefoy, Didier Mallet, Jan Karel Lameer (timelapse.nl), Xavier Gilles, Mathias Catala, and myself.
• Image processing & color timing was done by myself
• Editing was made by Laurent Frappa and myself
• Musics are from :
- Transvaal ( myspace.com/transvaalmusic )
- Umaano ( myspace.com/umaano )
- Silvano Mercado ( vimeo.com/user1554240 )

Please note that the original file you can download is far better than the recompressed online version, and will play natively at 25FPS, without the really bad online 24 FPS conversion.

Please also note that despite this free high quality download, every shot in this movie is copyrighted, and therefore can't be used for any purpose without full consent of the authors.

Comments are welcome!

This was some footage that was put together when I first got the camera. It was all shot with the 18-50mm f~2.8 RED Zoom.

This is the new official Lord Gordon Interactive Logo introduction for all new productions.

This was made with After Effects CS3 at full 4K resolution.

I made this movie at 4K with my notebook. very hard! I wrote a tutorial in order to understand how to render it with poor resource (RAM and CPU). Unfortunately is in italian, but the screenshot are clear.
