1 HD Clip is Your Daddy

I saw this guy and his friend (girlfriend?) on a tree while I was walking through the woods the other day.  In the Northeast US, we call these "Daddy Longlegs", but in researching for this post, I found out that the name "Daddy Longlegs" refers to different Insects in different regions.  As far as I have been able to find, this is a Harvestman. If anyone out there knows more about who this guy is, please feel free to comment below.

1 HD Clip Needs a Pot of Gold

I was fortunate enough to stumble across Attila Vago's blog "BitsBits".  It is there where you can find the best free things on the internet.  He posted an offer by Daz3D  for free licensing of the 3D modeling program Bryce 7.1.  I used Bryce over a decade ago in college, so I was interested in trying it out again. 

Getting back into the swing of things, I was able to put this little clip together in very little time, but rendering it out proved to be a resource hog on my tiny little laptop.  To me its an abstract look at what it may be like to travel through a rainbow if it was something more than an optical illusion and refracted light. 

This clip is loopable.

1 HD Clip is on the Grid

I have been wanting to get a shot like this for a while, and came across a beautiful day with some speckled clouds in the background.  This time lapse takes us from dusk to night.

I am also pushing the boundaries as far as how many media files I can associate with each clip.  With this file you now have the option of: DNxHD (Avid and Premiere Users), PhotoJPEG (Final Cut and iMovie Users), H.264 (Native to DSLR Cameras) and WMV (Windows Movie Maker).  I'd like to go back and update all of the earlier clips and will do so eventually.  Doing so is a very big time commitment for me with the current processing power of my computer.

1 HD Clip Leaks a Little

I have been experimenting with a couple of general effects and thought it might be kind of cool to create my own "Light Leak".  These videos are used traditionally as an overlay and helps transition between clips.  They give a very nostalgic effect to your footage, and really helps those people going for that "instagram" like look in their video. 

I went about creating it a little differently and stacked 2 lenses to give myself a slight pinhole of exposure.  People can now scale the leak to any size as well as position it any way they'd like to get the desired effect.

I'll post some examples of people using the light leak effect correctly to our Facebook page.

1 HD Clip Opens it's Mouth

I went out and shot this for a project I was putting together for someone.  Why is it that i always have to challenge myself with water?  I really learned a lot when playing with three different moving planes (Clouds, Lake and River) during an HDR time lapse shoot.  I also love the detail that I was able to bring out in the sand.

You will also see in the download links below that I have made available a PhotoJpeg (.mov) file as well as the standard H.264 (.mp4) file.  Time permitting, I will try to make both available.  Mac users should have a much easier time with the PhotoJpeg format.
