  33. Wow, that was incredible! Loved it!
    How did you do that dolly move in the end?
    Did you pull focus on that shot or was it done at a small aperture?

  34. Very nice guys. Very enjoyable to watch. Loved the HDR. @ Patrick, have you tried SNS Pro for your HDR processing yet? With it I no longer get that flicker or pulsating that you are experiencing in some of your shots.

  57. I am glad you like it Keerah...yes it was too hard. I haven´t behind of scenes because we were short on time and I was concetrate to finish it on time. It is pity.
    You can share the link if you wanted

  58. But you surely remember all those troubles you had on the way, so you could write a post about it :) Or you could just take a microphone and record your notes as a dubbed audio version while the movie is playing :)) (just an idea :)

  59. Good idea. when I have time I will do it

  60. Lo había visto Damián, y pensaba que lo había comentado y como no, había pulsado el botón de "Like".
