Dolly recommendations?

sdbest — Fri, 18 May 2012 12:05:33 +0000

I'm in the market for a dolly system costing < $2,500 for a feature (see http://savingdinah.com). We're using a GH2 in a cage for most of the shots, but also a Sony EX1. There's a number of products available from Kessler Flex Track, Indie Dolly Systems, Merlin Video which fit the budget. A flex track system seems a good way to go.

So, looking for recommendations from folks who might have some experience with the products on the market.

Thanks.

Hey there everyone. Just wanted to share the latest thing I've completed for a really cool whisky distillery here on Vancouver Island. Some of these shots were quite exciting to plan and execute.

I continue to be grateful to this community and the things I've learned here over the years. These small cameras are great tools that set us loose to create meaningful work. Thanks @Vitaliy - for setting this forum up and putting the whole thing in motion with unlocking the power and potential of GH1 & GH2.

Shot a photographer...made my day : )

pchristoph — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:59:01 +0000

I was approached by a photographer here on Vancouver Island, Canada to make a short film about her and her business. This was a tough one for me as most photographers I know lean towards controlling scenes and directing action and so I was hesitant as my approach is very much hands off, documentary-style...but, she immediately said that she was giving me the reins to produce something that was honest and real about who she was. Erin told me later on that she was quite stressed after filming because she was used to seeing her results immediately and having to wait and leave it to me to edit her film was a new experience, but, she trusted me. I really valued that trust. Its something that you start building from your first client film, and it has introduced me to some great projects and people this year. So, having spent some time studying Erins photography style and the look of her photos I knew how I wanted to form the look of her film and I also knew how to mix her personality and her story into it to make what I feel is an honest film about a real photographer doing great things for people. I felt lucky to have been able to work with Erin and create the exact kind of photographer film we both wanted.

Can't say enough thanks to Vitaliy and the entire community here for its valued support, encouragement, and enhanced camera settings contributions and testing. It's great to be a small part of it by sharing some of my work done with the GH2. Cheers.

Filmed on GH2 over two days, Sedna A and Canis Majoris 'skin' settings from Driftwood. Steadycam Merlin (in some crazy wind), Kessler Pocket Dolly, manfrotto 561 monopod, s.takumar lenses (50,55,135), Tamron 17-50 non vc, Panasonic 14-140, Tota w/silver umbrella for interiors.

Cine-mini : Winery Taster | Orion v4b

pchristoph — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 00:00:10 +0000

A 'taste' of an upcoming short I'm making for a fruit winery. It'll be a tastey documentary short indeed. I should probably have shot this clip at 60p, but time was short after the interview and I forgot, so it's 24p and not as smooth as I'd like it to be. Edit/cc in fcpx. The winemaker asked me "when the film will hit the theaters"... he's pretty happy with the quality. This was shot using Vitaliy's latest ptool firmware and Driftwoods Orion v4b with a Tamron 17-50mm on a Kessler pocket dolly. Lowel pro light rig. Music composed to give a feeling like your in a great and ancient hall. Probably a bit over the top but I like it. Final short will be in a couple months from now. Cheers all. Thanks to Vitaliy and Driftwood - continuously.
