Gothic & Spring (Gotyk i Wiosna) | A timelapse short film

Paco — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 14:00:16 +0000

This is a short film that we shot for a film competition “Film a poem” (“Nakręć wiersz”) that was organized by a polish contemporary literature publishing house, Biuro Literackie.

The goal of the competition was to encourage filmmakers to shoot a film illustrating the poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz, a well known Polish poet who has also been an unofficial Noble Prize candidate for some years now.
The poem we have got is titled “Gothic and Spring” (“Gotyk i Wiosna”) and is an expression of the fascination for the gothic architecture surrounded by an early spring landscape. That’s the essence and our main direction for shooting the film.
The film was shot during a few very cold, late-winter nights in Wroclaw, Poland, entirely in timelapse technique using Canon DSLR cameras and DitoGear™ OmniSliders.
The score and recitation was composed and performed by Damian Pielka, also known for his cooperation with Lech Janerka as well as his own music projects like Japoto band.
The film has not been qualified for the final competition therefore we decided to share it with the worldwide community.
We put a lot of work and heart to shoot this film and we really appreciate you spreading the word about it.

Credits:
• Poetry: Tadeusz Różewicz
• Score: Damian Pielka
• Photography, editing and grading: Agnieszka Gonczarek & Patryk Kizny

DitoGear PortaSlider prototype testing

Paco — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 14:23:36 +0000

A few days ago we headed for a short trip to test out a first prototype of the DitoGear PortaSlider which is a new, modular timelapse slider dedicated to entry-level an professional timelapse shooters.
We wanted to check how the concepts worked and gave a hard-testing run to the new product. With a total of 14 one-meter track units and 2 trolley designs to test out we had a lot of fun!
The track joints seem to work flawlessly and really precisely even on such long track. The trolley need some refinements and this week we’re going to test out a new, improved design.

Preparing for shots with a 14 meter track takes some time, but it is definitely worth effort giving a whole bunch of new creative options for shooting.

Now about the slider at a glance:
• continuous and and drive-shoot-drive mode, 2 way w/ shutter control
• modular track design (0.5m, 1.0m, 2.0m modules)
• controller and user interface integrated with motor and trolley
• very basic video mode w/optional controller (left, right, speed adjustment)
• horizontal & diagonal operation w/ lightweight cameras
• option of connecting the OmniSlider controller for a full-blown set of features

Making of TheChapel

Paco — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:13:51 +0000

Remember The Chapel? If not, watch it NOW!

If you are not in the business, or even if you are, you might not be aware of the amount of work behind TheChapel.
Although we did not shoot the real “making of” shots almost at all, we decided to tell a bit more about making of this film. Illustrated with some photos, shots and post-production screenflows we hope to put some more light on the process of making of The Chapel and give you an overview of what and how we did.

Please leave comments.
Please share it – we would love that the film be watched widely. Although it was posted a few months ago it passed a bit unnoticed. Well, a film needs a bit of luck to be watched.

Timelapse (snaillapse) shots by Patryk Kizny and Rogier Sholte (2nd part)

About the band:

A new dimension of a guitar band and an approach to a song – this is how shortly Japoto’s work could be described. Musicians forming the band are people who move around among various matter of sound. Using modern technical possibilities, combined with breakbeat and electric guitars achieving a sound mixture spiced with text. Thanks to that we have an occasion to meet a new and very interesting form of music.

Autumn | A short timelapse film

Paco — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 14:43:02 +0000

The short was shot partially during the Jodlow Star Party 2010 in the middle of September, where we did serious testing of DitoGear™ Slider pre-production units and also during a few recent days at surprising surroundings of Wrocław, Poland.
What I love about this slider is that it works either in horizontal and vertical mode giving the option for crane-like shots. It adds a lot to your shooting style being very compact and portable at the same time.
Needless to say it works not only as a time-lapse dolly, but also as a video slider at higher speeds. The short, however, features only timelapse shots.

As you get more and more gear it is sometimes difficult to keep focused on shooting. The slider is very easy and quick to setup and provides a really intuitive and convenient user interface. I can virtually start shooting within 3 minutes on a location. It is a huge step forward comparing to my previous DIY timelapse dolly which took ma about an hour to setup.

If you’re interested in the DitoGear™ Slider you’ll find more details at www.ditogear.com
Enjoy the film!
