2 Stock Footage Clips Chip in the Dough

I've always wanted to put up some cooking clips, and a roll of cookie dough caught my eye while I was shopping the other day.  What started as capturing some footage on a whim, turned into a pretty neat comparison between my 2 cameras.

The clip titled "Baking Cookies" was shot at 1fps at 1920x1080 with a shutter speed of 1/2 on my Sony NEX FS-700.  The beautiful part of this process was a clip that was ready to upload the minute I was finished.  The clip titled "Baking Cookies Alt Angle" was shot using my Canon T2i with the Magic Lantern Firmware hack using the intervalometer feature at 1 image per second RAW (5184x3456).  The clip was processed through After Effects and the resulting 1920x1080 clip was created "full sized" (cropped instead of resized) so what you see an 1:1 pixel display.

I'd say the little Canon keeps up pretty well doesn't it?

Another beneficial side effect of this footage, was that the resulting cookies were a good way to thank my wife for taking over the kitchen for the night.

2 Stock Footage Clips Melt With You

In keeping with my winter clip push, I give you 2 somewhat similar shots of icicles melting.  One was is a real time shot with rapidly dripping water and another is in slow motion. I actually had to ramp the slow motion clip between drips because there was literally nothing to see.  It made for a pretty boring minute and 20 second viewing.  So instead, you get 40 seconds cut out and water droplets that are still in slow motion.

I feel these clips will come in handy right before spring in any project where you need to illustrate a seasonal change.  Hope you can use them!

1 Stock Footage Clip Lets it Snow

I've been waiting a while for a day when the snow was falling just right.  We've gotten a lot of heavy sleety and misty powdery conditions, but nothing this "flaky".  Unlike a lot of stock snow clips you may find out there, this is 100% real, live-action weather.  Snow falling has been the most requested shot lately, so I am happy to deliver something somewhat usable.  This may be the best I can get.

I shot it with a slightly small depth of field and at 240 fps on the FS700.  The video nerd in me loves seeing the flakes that float through mostly in focus. You should also be able to do a nice overlay/screen effect using this on your existing footage to give it a nice "wintery" treatment.  As the clip is now, it's falling peacefully and almost picturesque.  Feel free to speed it up 10x if you are going for a more snowstorm type atmosphere.

2 Stock Footage Clips are Stoked

I thought I should take a break from all of the "wintery" clips and post something a little more warm.  I had access to this fireplace and thought this might be nice.  Honestly, I do like the more peaceful movement that the slow motion creates, but that gentle flame also give it a somewhat un-organic look.  Something about it is both mesmerizing and unsettling.  Hope either of these are useful in your projects!

1 Stock Footage Clip is Frozen to a Point

I was able to take advantage of a free morning as well as a very crisp cold day to get this shot.  I was hoping for a completely clear day, but the few wisps of clouds you see in the background are actually quite nice.  While the sun coming through the ice IS powerful, I feel this attempt was too "messy" for my personal taste overall.

It was partially due to laziness in not getting my external ND filter and relying on the on board 1/64 the FS700 has.  This made the capture a f/40 (yes 40).  I would have much rather shot this somewhere around f/8-11.  The imperfections/dust on the outside of the window I was shooting out of came in to play a lot more that i had hoped because of it (you better believe those weren't on my lens!).  This was a somewhat selfish decision as well, since I valued the heat in my home and the "newness" of my camera a little too much to have it sitting outside for 2 hours in 4 degree weather.

I did decided to upload this, because although I feel it is somewhat "dirty", and look forward to a much more clean reshoot, I appreciate the dreamlike feeling this has, and think it would compliment some of the work a lot of you are doing.  Hope you can find a use for it!
