The music is Murray Gold’s “I am the Doctor”, played by Mark Fowler aka UKPiano and you can watch him play this very piece right here: www.youtube.com This is the fifth video in my attempt to make 52 drawing videos in one year. I know, i’ve fallen a few weeks behind. (Pretty standard for me unfortunately). But i wanted to do something a little bit different and this one took a little bit more time. The video is made of about 6000 frames. And by that i mean I clicked the mouse with my right big toe 6000 times to take the photos. 6000 times. My leg hurts, my hand hurts, my back hurts and my shoulder hurts, but the outcome is my favorite thing i’ve ever done 🙂 And i know that there’s a 30-second out of focus scene. I only noticed when it was too late to start over again so we’re stuck with that. I took the photos with my Nikon D80 and Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 lens, using Nikon Camera Control pro with my computer. I use a Signo uni-ball dx 0.38mm ink pen.
I was able to get my hands on the new Magic Lantern build a day early so we went out and grabbed some test shots at one of our favorite locations (from The McCormick Brothers) above Foster Lake in Oregon. HDR (High Dynamic Range) is performed in camera by capturing two different ISO values. Most of these shots were at ISO 100-800 or 200-1600. Those two streams are then split and re-fused back together in post production to produce the HDR video. Magic Lantern is free for download and everything you need to produce HDR video is included and also free. Alex is truly a pioneer and he is offering the 5D Mark II build to those who donate. It will eventually be released (as this one is BETA) but you can get it early by donating. magiclantern.wikia.com Music – James Newton Howard – Prologue – Lady in the Water Check out our website or follow us on Facebook or Twitter: neumannfilms.com Facebook: www.facebook.com Twitter: twitter.com
