New York in slow motion

A New York slow motion video by Vicente Sahuc. It's pretty impressive because it was filmed with a Casio EX-F1 camera and not with high end video equipment. Great!

"The shots were done with the casio EX-F1 at 300 fps and edited at 24 fps. You can't choose the quality, so you'll get low definition and strong compression (it's a 700 euros camera...). I was roller skating, this gave the long and smooth travellings. but the most important thing is the stabilization, I used the Steadicam Merlin for that. It's really important. The rollers were important but the steadicam is the key (with the slow motion) of the smooth touch. For the colors, I edited it on Premiere. Transforme the .mov in single frames with Quick Time. And used Photoshop with the "automate" fonction. Then two layers, a black and white and a color with a polaroid effect. Then 50 or 55% opacity on the top layer. And back to a .mov folder with Quik time. And then the sound in Premiere again. But I guess that if you desaturate, contraste and add some yellow on the highlight and midtone, it would be something very close to that."
