More experimentation with video footage taken with my Canon 5DmkII at the photoshoot with Danielle Bobir.
Frames were dropped out of the video footage then blended together in After Effects to achieve this effect. Since I was exporting still frames out of the video I also dropped them into Lightroom first to batch colour correct the footage.
Music: Overboard by Omni Vista.
You may have seen some of this footage before but this is more of an experiment with some different editing techniques in After Effects.
I am now editing video on my PC. It has much more grunt than my mac so I am now working with Premiere and After Effects on the PC. I was becoming annoyed with the long render times on the mac. I have discovered a great proxy editing process for 5DmkII files in Premier which has been working well… and fast! I just wish After Effects was 64 bit so I can take advantage of the large amounts of RAM I have installed.
All of the footage was taken from various photoshoots I have done and if you explore this blog you will find the still photos associated with them. (All shot with the Canon 5DmkII)
Models are Myra Maxwell, Tegan Woodford, Jessica Tebbit and Danielle Bobir.
Here are some tears from the Bullzye Autumn/Winter 2010 Catalogue that we photographed recently. More images from the shoot can be seen in a few posts earlier.
I did do the graphic design for this advertisement for Jane Iredale cosmetics. Featured in the latest edition of Professional Beauty Magazine.

Here is a sneak peak at the soon to be released Winter 2010 Bullzye range. We shot this in Brisbane on an incredibly rainy day but were fortunate enough to score a break in the weather for long enough to get the required shots. As soon as we were finished it started pouring with rain. I am rarely this lucky!

This is a little promo piece I had time to develop whilst playing in Adobe After Affects. It features photographs of models I have shot in the recent past.
Well my main camera is still with Canon getting repaired. Been three weeks now and still no word as to what is wrong with it. Was hoping to have it back for a catalogue shoot I have next week but lucky I have my backup. In case you haven’t noticed, I therefore haven’t been shooting all that much lately which has given me a chance to pursue some new skills… particularly in the motion graphics field with After Affects. Here are some screen grabs from a little personal promo piece I have been working on. I should have the final clip up within the next couple of days.
This is a demo to showcase to a long term client of mine, Bullzye. It is basically a proof of concept piece as Bullzye in the recent past has expressed an interest to get a promo developed to showcase to customers, prospective clients and sponsors. This would then be available to be played in store on TV/LCD/Plasma etc, via the net and distributed on DVD if required.

The following video is one of my first foray’s into motion graphics. With the progression of digital media, the future release of tablet pc’s and “iTouches” and what I expect to be a progression of traditional print media to be made available on these interactive devices, I figure it is a good time to learn.
The footage is all still photos I took in Bali whilst shooting the Veve 09/10 Swimwear catalogue. The motion graphics and logo were all reworked in After Effects. I mean, who is going to want to view a static, still photo as an advertisement on one of these “tablets” when full motion and interactivity will be available? This is only my first attempt and whilst there is a lot to learn, I think I will invest the time to do so.

Checkout the latest edition of Tracks magazine (February 2010) to see the double page spread of Amity Evans. I took this photo last year and it has since been published in Zoo, Monkey and now Tracks… popular shoot! :~) I have included the original copy as the colour reproduction wasn’t too good.
