Artistic Tuesday #4

Here is the fourth Artistic Tuesday post. Enjoy yourself! If you don't know what a Artistic Tuesday post is, check out all the info here. Landscapes: Volume 2 is the second of a three part series according to the author. Every frame of this video is a raw still from a Canon 5D2 DSLR and processed with Adobe software. In Volume 2 Dustin Farrell again shows off his beautiful home state of Arizona. He also made several trips to Utah as well. This video has some iconic landmarks that we have seen before. He felt that showing them again with motion controlled HDR and/or night timelapse would be a new way to see old landmarks.

More from the author, "Most of the motion control for this video was done with the Stage Zero Dolly by Dynamic Perception. Once I got comfortable using the DP dolly I fell in love. I can set up shots now in much shorter times. More importantly for me, it is much smaller and much more portable than my homemade motion control. Without it, shots like the Delicate Arch shot in Utah would be nearly impossible due to the length of the hike. Buy the Stage Zero Dolly if you are looking for quality, inexpensive, easy-to-use motion control.

In addition to the Stage Zero, I also used a three axis motion controlled CamTram. The CamTram is the most versatile dolly I have ever used. Its applications are only limited by your creativity. The CamTram has virtually no weight limit. I was able to achieve shots that dolly-in with the camera just over the ground because of the CamTram's ability to hold heavy counter weights.

The amazing graphic work at the beginning and end was done by Chris Pettit of Digital Skye Media Development. Check out Chris' other work here: vimeo.com/user8750744 Music is "Sunshine (Adagio In D Minor)" by John Murphy. #15 here: itunes.apple.com/us/album/sunshine-music-from-motion/id297702863"
