Behind the Scenes

DPC — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 20:27:48 +0000

Here’s what I can tell you so far.. This was an amazing shoot on the California Delta with a great crew! We brought a lot of cool toys to shoot with including a few Canon 5D’s, 7D’s, the Kessler KC-Lite 8.0 Complete System, a ZaZa Slider, a Glidecam, a few GoPro HDs, an egg timer, a few bogen sticks, and some other goodies. I’ve been reviewing the footage for the better part of the morning and it’s looking good, real good!!! With the footage logged it’s time to find a solid song to lay this edit on and I think I just found one!

Terry Adams – Flatland BMX

DPC — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 23:25:54 +0000

The edit is done!

I was fortunate enough to spend two days trekking around NorCal with Terry Adams the world renowned flatland bmx’er. The schedule was tight with only two days to drive 200+ miles, hit five college campus, stop in downtown SF to ride, and do a demo at Circle A Skateboards in San Jose. Terry was just coming off another college tour that kept him on the road for a few weeks, but he was super cool and willing to work on getting certain shots which turned out sick! Thank Terry!

For all you gear heads out there here’s the list of gear used for this shoot:

Canon 7D using the Canon 70-200mm f2.8, Tamron 17-50 f2.8, and Tokina 10-17mm

On the Road Again

DPC — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 06:30:47 +0000

Another project puts me on the road again traveling north, then south, then east and west, back south, and finally up north. Should be interesting while I log some serious mileage around the Bay Area. I have to admit I’m pretty stoked that this opportunity came up because it’s something new and different. Plus my head has been spinning with a few filming ideas, so I’m hoping I can at least try a few of them out.. We’ll see and I’ll keep you posted!

GoProHD Firmware – Live Video Out & Upside Down Mode

DPC — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 17:55:57 +0000

To get your firmware updates go to: GoProHD Firmware Update > Support > HD HERO Cameras

In order to use the “Live Feed Out” you need to access both the HDTV and the TV ports on the side of the GoPro. You have two options; First you can pull the GoPro out of the case and use it as is, but this way you greatly reduce your mounting options OR you can pre-order the new HD Skeleton Housing ($39.99) which allows you to access the TV ports while mounted (see more info below.)

* NEW OWNER’S MANUAL HERE *

This firmware includes the following new features:

Live Feed Out

Display live feed SD or HD video and audio straight out of the camera to a TV, handheld viewer, or video transmitter. Allows viewing a live video signal during preview, recording, and playback of saved files.

Upside Down Mode (UPd)

Now you can take videos and photos with the camera mounted upside down without having to rotate the files later. In UPd, all videos and photos will be saved to your SD card right-side up.

One Button Mode

One Button Mode simplifies recording video and photos with your HD HERO. With One Button Mode, your camera will start recording video or photos automatically when you power the camera ‘ON’ and will only stop recording when you power the camera ‘OFF’. The shutter button is deactivated in One Button Mode. You can only turn the camera on and off, making it the perfect setting for loaning it to friends or newbies.

Live Feed On-Screen Display

Display battery life, camera mode, and recording status icons on your live feed video signal with ‘On Screen Display’ turned on, or turn it off to transmit only the video without any status icons.

PAL 25/50 fps Support

If you live in a PAL region (most regions outside of North America) you can now record in the PAL broadcast standard of 25 / 50 fps in the following resolutions:

r1 WVGA 50fps
r2 1280×720 25fps
r3 1280×720 50fps
r4 1280×960 25fps
r5 1920×1080 25fps

Accessories

HD Skeleton Housing – $39.99

Features open sides that allow for easy plugging in of cables for live feed video out of the camera, charging the camera with a USB cable while recording video or photos, significant cooling when running the camera in extremely hot environments where camera cooling is a concern, and enhanced sound recording when used in non-windy locations like a race car, concert, jam session, etc.

Use the HD Skeleton Housing in dry environments only. Your HD HERO camera is NOT waterproof when used with the HD Skeleton Housing.

Ferrari Challenge at Infineon

DPC — Sun, 23 May 2010 10:01:42 +0000

Thanks to Bryant Kreaden I had the opportunity to shoot second camera at the 2010 Ferrari Challenge at Infineon Raceway early this month. I was primarily shooting with the HVX200, but I also brought along the Canon 7D to get lifestyle footage and take a few photos. Along with my typical HVX setup (Century Optics .55x fisheye, wireless lav, tripod, etc..) I was using the Canon 7D with a combination of the 70-200 f2.8 IS and the Sigma 10mm f2.8. It’s definitely a workout trying to run around a racetrack with both camera setups, but in the end all the hard work paid off with some amazing footage!

Overall I’m stoked how the footage turned out, but since I’m not doing any of the editing on this project you’ll have to wait until the producers post the video online before I can show you anything. From what I’ve seen so far they used most of the 7D footage!

Here are a few still photos that I took in between filming.

Spring Break? Warm and..

DPC — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 07:20:12 +0000

sunny? Nah! More like snowing like crazy! It seriously feels like the middle of winter with a foot of new snow in the past 12 hours. And I’m not talking about your typical Tahoe wet-cement snow either.. but the nice and dry snow we don’t see around these parts much! By the looks of the Radar we’re going to get dumped on ALL night! If this is a result of Global Warming then we need more of it!

On a side note.. I thought this would be a cool opportunity to do a time-lapse with the Canon 7D only to find out that its not possible without an intervalometer. Hmmm, the Nikon D700 has this feature built into the camera, so I’m using it instead. Strike one against Canon!

Butter Cup – Highlight Reel Done!

DPC — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 20:16:14 +0000

The Boreal and Northstar Butter Cup highlight reel is finished and I’m Just waiting for final approval before I can release it. I’m pretty stoked on how it turned out and I want to thank Damon, his brother Dakin, and Mad Dog for helping out! Typically filming these events is an one man show, but I figured this was a good project to test out how the Canon 5D & 7D would hold up in a “event” style setting. Having the extra man power present allowed us to play around with the cameras and their settings while making sure the main action was still being captured. A few of the 5D “lifestyle” shots made it into the Boreal section and quite a few of the 7D shots “action shots” made it into the Northstar section. Overall I’m very impressed with how well the cameras held up and they complemented the HVX200 footage well. There were a few technical hurdles to overcome in post-production, but I think that discussion is best saved for another post.

GoPro HERO (HD) Timelapse

DPC — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 07:28:37 +0000

The GoPro is a great POV cam, but it can also take pictures every X seconds. Since it was going to be sitting idle at the last shoot I decided to set it up on a tripod and let it go for the entire event. At the end of the day I had 2,543 pics and plenty of battery left! I will post the video in this post once it’s done..
