Really love the effect of super slo-mo on these shots. This is so slow it’s stretching frames!
We used this technique on selected shots as part of a job for Sky and tried various things. These shots are just a few examples of the super slo-mo mixed up with some time re-mapping.

The client on this job came to us with a whole load of material which had been shot all over the world – fabulous stuff and really fascinating. Our job was to archive this extensive library of shots and cherry pick the real stoaters to make a short film which could be used online or as a back drop at conferences and events.
It can be a tricky job pulling together material acquired over a long period of time, covering such a diverse range of detail into a cohesive piece. In order to do deliver an effective film we came up with a treatment integrating 3d map animations to convey the scale of the companys’ operations as well as an animating text technique to tell the story within that. A big part of Cairn’s ethos is “Discovering Hidden Value” – the animating text graphic wipe technique allows us to use text statements to tell the story and at the same time reveal the layer hidden underneath.
We also devised a tasty editing technique to deliver interesting round-ups of each section as well as maintaining a good energy throughout.
The music for this film was produced and composed in-house too – we really wanted a sound that would compliment the images so we hunted out some unusual instruments to give the track a world music vibe.
Good stuff and great fun to work on.

With a brand spanking new edit suite comes new software, plug ins and methods of approaching different and established techniques. We wanted to test out our new post production tools as well as a new camera, so as part of this process we ran a green screen test, with 3 main objectives:
1. To look at different lens, shooting with our new Canon EOS 550d in a green screen environment
2. Some motion tracking shots with same kit
3. Test out the post production end with our new system – checking clipping etc with an energetic subject moving against green screen
We chose a subject who could preform martial arts moves in order to get a good bit of controlled movement and action going.
This clip is a rough assembly of shots. It demo’s the acquisition in studio and a bit of post testing. We eventually chose a macro lens to shoot the studio bit – gives great detail, crisp shots and nice depth of field.
Stepping through various stages of the post bit things start to get very interesting – we’ve added a shadow into the subjects’ movement as well as time re-mapping his movement and trying out different backgrounds…..lots of possibilities and we’re still playing around with this stuff whenever we get any downtime!
