So how’d they do it?

From the video’s page on Vimeo (including typos):

So this is how I proceded:

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.

I think I didn’t forget anything
Thanks again for watching it.
Best!

The sound effects really put this in the “win” category for me.

Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet?

You’ll be happy to know that:

Congratulations. You’re still alive.

I am, in fact, still alive. I just haven’t been blogging.

Obviously.

But I’ll be resuming posting shortly.

For now, enjoy the fresh coat of paint that comes with a new blog template. It’s just a start; I’ll probably be continuing to modify it.

Or starting over with another brand new template.

‘Cause I do things like that.

Whee!

On that note, here’s Jonathan Coulton’s “Still Alive” from the video game Portal.

So… would anyone like to buy the extra copy from me ($15.99) instead of having me return it to Amazon?

An example of what you might find:

It takes a tough man to make tender chicken.

I’m not sure if that’s more “eww” or “lol.” Rather loleww. Maybe ewwlol.

What noteworthy (or creepy) combinations tickle your fancy? Post ‘em in the comments.
