Pro video blog…Produced by Philip Johnston DoP/Editor


Peter “This is the third episode of our independent “A Taste of New York“ time lapse series. In September 2016 we visited this awesome city to try out some new time lapse stuff.
It took us 10 days, a lot of burgers and one helicopter ride to produce this video. 10 days is very little time to discover this city of endless opportunities, so we hardly slept anything and shot day and night for this time lapse film. The city that never sleeps indeed!”

The Taxi shot:
Over the 10 days we took photos of yellow cabs whenever we had time to from as many different angles as possible. So we gathered 2000 (!) photos in total we had to sort afterwards and compile to a hyperlapse around a cab in post production. It took us 5 whole days in post production to get this one shot.

Technical Details:
In 10 days we shot 65.000 Photos taking up 2,6 TB of our hard drives. The final 3 minute video took 36h to render on the best equipped iMac available.

Equipment used:
+ Sony a7rII
+ Sony a6300
+ 2x Canon 6D
+ Canon 11-24mm F4
+ Canon 24-105mm F4
+ Tamron 150-600mm

+ Zeiss 24-70mm F4
+ Emotimo Spectrum

Having been working in the video business since 1988 I have amassed a great amount of knowledge of both the kit and production values over the last 30 years.
