Photography On Location

climbing video

Spending the day in airports traveling to Alaska, a perfect time to add one more blog post before getting really busy up north.  Had a chance to upload another short video shot on the D3s.  Once again I relied on the Glidetrack for the moving shots in this video.

For sound we are using a Zoom H2 portable recorder, great sound from a very small device.  The soundtrack on this piece was created in Garage Band.  If you are a Mac user and haven’t worked with Garage Band, take a look at this program.  It offers endless ways to create your own soundtrack, and perfectly sync the beat to your video.  We edit everything using Final Cut Pro.

Tech: Nikon D3s, 24-70mm, 1/250 at F11, ISO 100.  Two Elinchrom Quadras were used to light the climber.  Right light shot through a 27″ Rotalux box, other head shot through at 30 degree grid from the left side.  Skyports triggers the strobes. A little drama was added in CS4.  Video shot using the D3s, 14-24mm and 24-70mm lenses, and Glidetrack used for moving shots.
