Promotional video illustrating the features of Insights Orthopedics, an App for iPad which aggregates selected articles, news and updates from the leading and most relevant online sources in the field of orthopedics. Made on the GH3 using for the most part a fantastic Leica Summilux 50mm 1.4, then PanaLeica 25mm 1.4, some macro lenses. TeleCrop mode used lots of times also

here are just some of the first DSLR movies i made with a Canon 7D and a DIY-Focuslever (HoseClamp+Screw) - for anyone who has to kill some time or likes DOF... Looking forward to take some shots on a proper rig ;> solong...

This muddy "old" video is a mix of:

• A very personal/biographic collection of stills taken in Czech Republic, Spain and Portugal between 2006 and 2007

• Plus a tweaked version of Gertrude Stein's Family Living can go on existing a text extracted from her The Making of Americans book together with a shakuhachi flute (unfortunately can't remember neither song or performer's name) as SOUNDTRACK

• And still my own poem Algalia all mixed up directly in Quicktime

Shot handheld with a Nex-5n with an old Olympus Zuiko 50 f1.8

He really just wanted to challenge himself to do it. He has run really close to the 4 minute barrier indoors but he hadn’t ever broken that magical number in an officially timed event.

My father had always told me about how great the day was when Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile barrier. It was thought to be impossible back then(1954) but somehow Bannister proved them all wrong. Check out the video below to see what that race was like.

I was literally obsessed with trying to become an elite runner when I was 9 years old. I trained by myself harder than any 9 year old should ever train. I was running 10Ks flat out nearly every day in hopes that one day I too could reach that magical number.

However, no matter how much I trained I couldn’t beat the kids that had elite coaches and knew how to train properly. I became frustrated with the middle distances and then ran my first half marathon at 13 years old. After that I didn’t run distance again until my first child was born 15 years later.

The 4 minute mile is not what it once was. At least 1000 people have run under that time and Daniel Komen has run sub 8 minutes for two miles twice before. In one of his attempts both of his consecutive miles were sub 4 minutes.

However, the feat is still just as hard as it was before. No woman has ever even come close to breaking the 4 minute barrier. The world record for women still stands at 4:12:56 but the men’s record was an astonishing 3:43.13 and the second place runner was right behind him. Check out this video to see what that race looked like.

When I saw that it was free to come out and watch Sandy make his attempt at this elusive goal I grabbed my GH3 and GoPro 3 Black and headed down to Cardinal Gibbons High School. I wasn’t expecting anyone else to be there but to my surprise there were hundreds of people there already.

The track was abuzz with spectators anxiously awaiting the high school football team to finish practice so the race could start. Half an hour later Sandy and his brother(Pacer till 800 meters) were ready to toe the line.

Then it happened. The entire stadium went dead silent. You couldn’t hear anything. Nothing. Just silence as the brothers hurried to the line. No count down. Just a single gunshot and the two runners were off at a torrid pace with a sea of people surrounding them.

I sat alone in the stands. I wanted the best view of the entire track. I was there to capture the moment. I was there in admiration of a fellow runner that I knew could do what I had only dreamed of.

I will let the video pick up where my story left off. I think it does the event justice. I didn’t shoot any stills of the run because they simply don’t tell the whole story. The noise from the crowd is just overwhelming.

It seemed like it wasn’t just a single runner out there. It seemed more like hundreds of people giving everything they had to will this lone runner around the track. In the end breaking the 4 minute mile wasn’t really the goal.

The goal was to introduce running to as many people as possible. That goal was accomplished.

Please watch the video below and enjoy.

Canon 5D3, Sony RX100, GoPro3.

Came about as a homework project because we had to take one of the girls out of school early due to an earlier school switch.

This is an impromptu little video recorded 7 years ago with a P&S and bad quality. It was edited in an ancient IBM thinkpad (that sometimes we used as pillow) and Quicktime. Nevertheless it’s very dear to me, also, because the message/energy it carries :D

Filmed in Brno, Czech Republic, circa 2006

GH2 was intercut on the older video and only aerial on the newest. The two cams cut nicely together. Getting comfortable with the RAW workflow. Definitely a huge fan.

It would be interesting to hear from the Cinematographer / Camera team how they utilized / rigged it.

I am happy to share with you the trailer for our Short Movie "Elementarschaden", which means as much as "Damage from natural Hazards" - about a fictional Incident, taking place during the real flood catastrophe in Germany, June 2013.

We shot on 5DMKII RAW and Zeiss Planar & Distagon Primes only. The movie is now applying in all major film festivals in germany, therefore I can only publish a trailer for now. I added English subtitles for your convenience.

I am happy to hear your thoughts! :)

Just to give you a bit of the process: I was asked just the day before and I was lucky that two of my students had tickets and would be in the audience. I gave the each a camera and I was backstage (We used Sony EX1/3, all handheld), but I also handed out a consumer handycam and my iPhone (with Filmic Pro) to people I didn't know in the audience to really get a documentary feel to it. And to play a little safe I had my GH2 (Flowmotion) and Tokina 11-16 on a tripod in the back. A friend of mine mixed in Pro Tools.

Of course it's not perfect, both coverage lacked sometimes and the LED lighting gave some nasty artifacts, but the raw feel of the footage and the energy of the band and the amazing old theatre we filmed in gave it all av very special feel. I edited in FCPX we're I also did my grading with Filmconvert (to enhance the raw feel and it did combat the harsh blues of the LED lighting and the grain hid a lot of the artifacts.) Not the best I've done technically , but considering the circumstances I'm happy with it and it's all about the song and helping my friend and her band to reach out.

"We will never lose our pride".

"THE MAGNETIST is a short documentary about Micke, also known as 'The Magnetist', whose life revolves around cassette tapes.

Most of Micke's time is spent on varius tape-related projects; he blogs about them, he makes music with them and he got a monthly tape club in his hometown Stockholm. Sometimes it's a struggle. Here we get an insight to Micke's life as a tapeologist and joins him to his tape-only club to find out the motivation behind his interest."

Does anyone have problems watching since it's in 1080p, I'm not sure if some computers might struggle?

A huge thank to Vitaliy the Personal View community for hacks and information!

This is a kind of compressed (in time and quality; I'm still changing this output for a x264 motherfucking ultra slow encoding... soon) version of a video I made for our friend Runchi, to celebrate friendship, life and relations in their beginning and/or end. Nothing was planned, naturally just happened. Two other examples: HERE and HERE.

I have no pretensions whatsoever to believe this is a great masterpiece, ja ja ja, but rather an attempt to gather some moments spent together wrapping their trail in a video... made from and around love, for fun, within my own flow  8-)

For this (promo) version, I had the silly idea of removing Runchi from all shots; as continuation of the experiencing while editing the long version. If you're interested in the full version, 22 min, HERE it is! One day, inshallah, I'll put subtitles

Big thanks to ?lex, for infecting us with no fear
