Just Arrived! Little Bramper

IMG_1926IMG_1927

I have just received a Little Bramper!
This little device acts as a timelapse timer/intervalometer.
But thats not the good part, it allows you to smoothly vary the exposure time. This means you can get amazing Sunrise/Sunset time-lapses.
It is available in limited runs here http://www.thewhippersnapper.com/LittleBramper/Site/Home.html

Call Me - arr. Dale Campbell

Not 'tech' on the face of it but this is a new video from my music channel.
I shot this with;
Canon 550D
Sigma 30mm f1.4 prime lens
Some daylight balanced energy saving bulbs
A couple of dark blue 'fleece' blankets for the Black background
A Kessler Crane Philip Bloom Pocket Dolley (no dolly shots made it to the final cut)

For the wide shots of me I use the 550D 'vertically' in portrait orientation as this gave me the best resolution as I had a lot of wasted space on either side when using the camera in its standard orientation.
This was flipped and resized in post.
In camera I was using the cinestyle picture style and I then graded with Magic Bullet Looks 2 the latest version.
