Recently I took a trip up the road to Atlanta to help a friend out with his “preview” video for the upcoming Dragon Con event. If you haven’t heard of Dragon Con, well, here you go. It’s a huge convention with guest speakers, panels and involving virtually anything to do with science fiction, comic books and nearly anything you can imagine.
The video was shot with a kit 14-45mm lens on a GH4 to keep a low profile. It was handheld as well because while the guys at ESO have panels, the people in the hotels get real irritated when you show up waving a camera around. The “time-lapse” sections were done with the Microsoft Hyperlapse software (You have to email them to get it activated but hey it’s free!). I cleaned up the audio with iZotope’s RX 6 tool. That was the single biggest challenge because cities are just plain loud.
The video turned out well, I think, so, smiles all around. Hope you enjoy your time at DC2018. Protip: Get there early. For everything.
Also, thank goodness for Jukedeck’s, more or less, free music. Just give them a shout in the description and your set. No need to hire an attorney because a patent troll wants $30,000 for a video you made 10 years ago that was watched 200 times because the “free” music wasn’t actually free. I digress!
