Blog 12 – Forest Filming + Melbourne Cemetery

As a group we went to the Redwood forest in Warburton to collect sound and imagery for our interactive display. We brought two cameras; My 6D and a loan camera from building 9.

I found the environment to be quite immersive as we all went off to do our own things getting lost among the trees or the river. Under the redwood trees there was a sense of uniformity in the trees placement but it still felt like we were in a natural forest. It was good for filming because it made it quite eerie and meant that I could play around on the zoom and shallow depth functions on the X200

Unfortunately  I thought the camera was filming at 1060p 60fps, but was actually filming at 60mb/s only 25fps. The whole time i though the footage as going to be in slowmo. This would have allowed me to slow it down in post which would give the image much smoother motion and focus.

I was imagining for the interactive display that we could have the footage ramp up or does depending on how fast the interactive instrument would be shaken or stirred. Instead we might need to do something else.
