2011\11\11

ANTENA ZAGREB's action PLAY MUSIC - STOP HARASSMENT experienced its peak in the crowded sports hall elementary school Ivan Goran Kovacic in Zagreb where 2.c and their guests held concert to remember. The show received an award for the best treatment - an instrument with which to form a real school band.

At the concert many guests, Mayor Milan Bandic, who on behalf of the City handed musical instruments to 2.c through hockey players, basketball players and a number of pop stars sang with the young singers.

We hope that the message from 2.c and their classmates was loud enough and we hope that their parents, teachers and others who were present in this hall to celebrate the day against bullying will pass this message to the others as well.

This video is a live performance of the song FOTOAPARAT (Camera), which was originally performed by HLADNO PIVO. This DSLR Multicam was made by DSLRevolt workshop guys :

B1_RIG is a shoulder shooting accessory for DSLR shooters. This aluminum, hand assembled SMALL series shooting rig comes with Manfrotto 357 sliding plate for adjusting distance to DSLR/viewfinder. Variety of different angles of holding/supporting handle can be achieved as well as the distance from the shoulder so the DSLR operators of any height and constitution can feel as one with this rig. Any standard video tripod plate can be attached at the bottom of the rig so the transition from tripod shooting to shoulder shooting is a matter of seconds.

500 - playin' around with Weisscam
 
2010\08\23

After shooting a simple TVC for local ATP tennis tournament I've found my self with some extra, non used high speed shots. Nothing special, two guys playing a match, only thing weird is that a Weisscam HS-2 was looking in their direction. Another funny fact is that this $$$.$$$ cam was looking through my Canon L glass !!! Yep, 300mm f2.8 IS L, 600mm f4.0L, 135mm f2.0L were on it. 24mm ARRI prime was being used in only one shot. All focusing was done without ff unit or puller, like allways...

Flying not one but TWO GoPRO HD HERO cameras on a RC HELI was an idea that just happened. How? We wanted to put one on the nose of Protos but we had to use something on the tail to balance the weight ... so why not using almost the same weight ? So the second HD HERO went on. This is our experience. Yea and we didn't crashed it. Yet.

KANDZIJA - U TRENDU - single take music video + BTS
 
2010\07\02

Shooting a whole music video in just one single take? Idea is not new but it was a nice opportunity to try flying my Steadicam Pilot in one continuing shot with 24mm f1,4L on a 5dmk2. In most of the cases I tend to use 14mm f2.8L lens but this time I decided for a little bit tighter angle. 3 and a half minutes doesn't sound like much but there are many obstacles, stairs, edges even dogs to stumble on the way. And the story ended where it all began - in a bar !
The shooting took place in Ceminac in Baranja county in eastern part of Croatia.

MARK - Canon 1D mkIV TEST
 
2010\03\20

This Canon 1D mkIV extreme low-light test was entirely shot in night conditions. Only available lights were coming from street lamps, TV set or some usually unusable source of light. None color corrections or brightness/contrast were made on this clip. Most of shots were made at insanely high ISO-12800 to explain how much light this sensor can pick-up from darkness. I mean, there is grain running around but I was determined not to go lower value ISO. (I had to do that on one occasion only because the picture was blown up...insane). I had this camera for a FEW HOURS only so the "story" and everything around it was made "under way". It was cold as hell and the clock was ticking, few friends helped with their acting and voice sync afterwards. Last but not the least important - the music. It was played and recorded "under way" and practically in the moment of editing, on the same MacBookPro Unibody 17". Additional LIBEC TR320 dolly system was used for a few shots, a small Sachtler FSB2 tripod was to carry all the weight...and a LOT's of glass looked into the dark: 14mm f2.8L, 24mm f1.4L, 24mm f3.5L TS-E, 50mm f1.2L, 85mm f1.2L, 100mm f2.8macro, 135mm f2.0L, 300mm f2.8L IS, 600mm f4.0L IS.
We used Canon 5D mk2 on closing shots and for "making of" video.
