New Muni Film Trailer

I was really impressed with that trailer, all around. I'll reiterate
that the filming was superb, the editing and choice of music was very
tasteful and appropriate. The riding... I could hear my muni calling me
from the basement..

Awesome guys! Some really nice filming techniques in there, muni is
tough to film but I think you've captured the steepness and technicality
really well. I really need to come and ride with you guys...looks like
great fun.

I'm sure you could knock one together pretty quickly.

There is a simpler style of a steady cam mount that would be useful for
those low follow shots. It's not weighted and balanced like the fancy
ones but it does offer a convenient hand hold that is not available on
the smaller video cameras. There is a discussion of one in 'this
therad' (http://tinyurl.com/8gy9g) and pictures in 'this gallery'

action. Great job.

Hey guys, thanks to those who downloaded it, it's pretty big and I think
pretty average compression quality/size proportions.

Some notes about the film, it'll be coming out mid 2006, I'm sorry if
this is a long wait for some but it really is the earliest feasible time
for completion. It's on the "sooner rather than later" list.
Disregarding the name of this thread it's a unicycling film and not
purely muni. There's going to be footage from all over New Zealand,
ranging from 2005 X-Air to some of the most isolated and spectacular
MUni locations.

It's called "Uninhibited" because by now everybodys getting tired
(tyred?) of unicycling films that don't have a unicycling pun somewhere
in the title (what's "defect" got to do with anything? ).

The best camera that I'm using for uninhibited so far is a
PanasonicDVX100a, it's a very similar style or at least price range to
the Canons used in UniverseII. For those of you in the "camera buying
market", I can't say enough good things about DVX100a's except for that
they're not nearly as good as its "soon to be released" big brother:
hvx200. The editing so far has been done with Adobe Premiere

Another camera I've used for bits that need more than one camera angle
or required a smaller camera is the PanasonicGS200 which still produces
a nice picture, especially because it's 3ccd (so a seperate censor for
each colour channel) but quite bad low-light results and f**k all manual
controls.

The glidecam is an absolute mission to setup and use but for the results
(wait till you guys see this stuff on a big screen!), is more than worth
it.

You can expect to see a good mix of technical and insane riding
