Thanks for the comments! I got it colour graded in my living room har har. Shot on a crappy GS500, the procinema mode is not bad, mostly shot that way with a 1/350 shutter, image stab off to give slightly better res apparently, I stay zoomed in as much as poss when I shoot, most kite vids people are just too far away. For slomo I shoot interlaced, which gives horrible blown out highlights but the cam effectively records 50fps so you render it progressive at 50% speed. Then used twixtor for the mega slo shot, it creates intermediate frames. Edited in Vegas.
Adam and Susi's stuff was shot on a Sony A1 (I think), 1/50 shutter interlaced HD downressed to progressive SD. I thought the 3CCD GS500 actually produced a better image.
The motorised pan head I made out of lego :-) It got blown all over the place in 20kn, stabilised with deshaker.
PS Special thanks to Ruben, Susi and Adam for the use of their footage.
Hi, wow that’s some noice video editing right dar, couple of questions, still looking (well actually kind of holding off) for a video cam and you were saying about zoom being important when shooting kite surfing... do you think an optical zoom of 10 with a digital zoom of 20 would be enough?
I am looking at getting the Sony hdr hc7 but the amount of zoom is a sticking point so not too sure. Most of my (or someone else while i ride) shooting will be from the beach at dudes riding waves.. can buy a waterproof housing which is probably a good idea even if not going into the water to protect from the sand but probably wont be out there in the water trying to shoot.
Also do you use or would think its worth using a polarize filter if you could when shooting on water?
