I filmed  video (first one so be kind) of Joe Cornish using the Phase One medium format camera system in Scotland this February - the film has just been put on You Tube for open access, I thought people might be interested..

First video production?  Congratulations.  It's informative, engaging and pretty.   

If Joe was miked live during some of his comments, you did a great job.  Sound is hard, especially outdoors.

What camera?

Joe Cornish has a really nice speaking voice, something I guess is a gift not all landscape photographers have. So he should be in more landscape photography videos :-).

Also nice to see more Linhof Techno users, and that someone still uses gradient filters (more should do that)!

ABSOLUTELY agree - I would change my iq + Alpa & DF for a techno of I could afford/justify it in an instant.

I'll definitely be doing more videos with Joe - most of the ones I've done for On Landscape have been quite static so far (one camera - most of them in front of computer or reviewing books). I quite enjoyed making the movie but you have be plan well or it can be quite time consuming.

Total pleasure. He's compelling, the gear is compelling, the scenery luscious, the production sweet. Congrats. You can feel the chill in the air and the wind blowing.

Nice videos Tim. As someone who knows less about film making than Peter Berg (which is saying something - have you seen 'Battleship'), I too would like to hear a bit about the technical side of shooting - in particular what rig you used for steadying the camera (which I'm guessing was a 5D II/III)?

Hi Folks - a bit more about the video gear used.

2 Panasonic GH1's hacked for 720p high bitrate

14-140 and 20 f/1.7 lenses

Audio Technika ATW-1821 with two belt packs and lavalier mics (plus fluffy balls for wind proofing)

Glidetrack slider bar with the rest of it either hand held or on a manfrotto video head

Post production on Adobe Premiere

The Panasonics are great - easy to use, nice lens (especially the 20mm)

Very nice,Tim.  Joe is a very engaging personality and it's refreshing to hear an established person in the field
speaking about equipment without having the sense of being 'sold'.
It's clear to see, he like his choices, they perform well for him. End of story.  He sold me without trying.   Fortunately, the local Phase dealer is closed :)

On a technical note, he mentioned in the second video,I think, something like "native 35" when talking about the iq180
Was he referring to the native iso of the back or something else ?

Best,
Mark

I heard that too, I'm pretty sure it is the ISO of the IQ180 back which is 35 natively.

The native 35 definitely refers to the base ISO of the IQ180.

I enjoyed it immensely - thanks! In seven weeks I will be in Scotland myself... these pictures make me want to be there already.

May I ask what graduated filter system he is using on the Phase One camera?
I believe I need to try using the grads more myself...

Lee, he's a big advocate and does a lot of advertising for them.

I love the bit about showing textures, light and shade, wet and dry, in other words what ever looks nice in front of the camera at the time. :-) Just like everyone else then.
