Look for it under that title… I made 2 of the presentations during the second half of the program, which was held at the Hameetman Auditorium at Cal Tech, Pasadena, CA last Saturday.
It will be posted in 4 parts.
I have been asked to return to Cal Tech, to speak at an upcoming Environmental Sciences Conference in the first quarter of 2014.
I’m completing a corresponding slide show for my presentation at this event, sponsored by Organizing for Action, to address solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change. I will also be covering the event with HD video, using the Canon 5D III camera.
For more information, please write or call. My cell is (951)-255-9568.
Just finished my first-ever HDR video short, using After Effects and Photomatix Pro before sending to Premiere Pro for final post-processing including adjustment layers. I’m excited to apply this method in future projects.
This clip was graded with an amber look. I mean, come on- Halloween’s in a few weeks.
Advantages over just renting or otherwise using Magic Lantern on SD card:
-I can use both cards as usual, allowing backup of video capture for example
-no modification at all to the camera, and no additional cost for ultra-CF cards
-no risk of malfunctions
-the workflow is independent of the number of cameras used, and the shot list is unchanged (if you like)
-I find that Photomatix Pro gives precise, powerful control over a huge variety of HDR and tonemapping options which can be applied to both photography and video- and I already had the program. This includes the important ability to
do B/W HDR simply by creating the appropriate preset
I see using this method to create segments of HDR in a piece, more often than for generating an entire HDR universe for a narrative film. I might feel more comfortable with the latter if I had more robust computing power, but so far I’ve been doing my projects with a laptop.
I’d love to have a deeper buffer and 10-12 FPS as on the Nikon D4 and Canon 1DX, but otherwise I find the 5D3 very practical for shooting high action sports with careful planning. I try to be pretty selective about positioning the camera, and timing to take maximum advantage of the bursts 
I can produce. I used a 400mm f/2.8 L IS lens this weekend.
I use the method of selecting “image sequence” box in lower left corner of import window for THE FIRST IMAGE ONLY, to convert the photo set of images into a video sequence in Premiere Pro. This can be easily confirmed by checking for the filmstrip icon next to the file, in the LIST view mode of the Project panel.
1- No additional software needed; I use LR Timelapse 3.1 (LR= Level Ramp) for certain more advanced work, but only the free trial version which limits to 400 images and it’s much less intuitive.
2-I can employ all the power of the entire Adobe Master Collection for post, including PS for graphics, AE for motion graphics, Audition for added sound/music, etc- just as for any other video project. No change in GUI.
3-It’s rapidly accomplished.
