Milling About A Castle

Kinda' just started motion graphics in After Effects a couple weeks ago. I was interested in seeing how quickly I could throw something together. Took about 2 hours.

The Photoshop work is far from perfect, I'll be the first to admit that. The windmills could've been cleaned up more, for sure.

In the end though, this was two hours, and for a dude just learning and experimenting, I think I accomplished my goal, which was efficiency. Think of this as a first draft.

Windmills

Shot just outside of Trochu, Alberta, one man chooses, stupidly, to shoot windmills in 60fps on his Canon 60d with a flimsy but beautiful 50mm f/1.8.

I believe I had the aperture set to 10 or so. Daylight colour settings... maybe?

If I could do anything again, it would've been shooting in 29.97 fps.

I had a steadicam in my trunk, but goddamn if I was SMRT enough to use it. Instead, I've used Warp Stabilizer for the first time... and it shows.

Unknown Studio 3D Title Card

Little known fact: I worked with one Scott C. Bourgeois and one Adam Rozenhart on the Unknown Studio podcast when they tried to take it live to video. I had to quickly cut a title card for the show (as well as a card for "The Fast Fifteen" (which looked like a card from a video game show in the '90's)).
