Project Do Stuf Day 6, 7 and 8

Despite the lack of posts, Project Do Stuf 2014 has been alive and well!

On Monday we decided to shoot my incredible car, a 4-door 1966 Chevy II Nova that I purchased last summer.  The car has taken me to school almost every day this year, and it's been fantastic.  I can fit all 6 of our family members in it!  It was restored by a local guy, and the final pieces put together by the guy I bought it from, and it runs really well.  I love antiques, and to be able to drive one feels like a huge privilege to me!  

For this video I got my dad and my son to star in it, we had an awesome time driving around.  Plus I got my dad to wash the car out of the deal (and a free ice cream)!

I used the Canon C100, and shot it in a way to hack slow motion out of a cinema camera that technically doesn't have slowmo.  It ended up working out really well.

Day 6 was spent shooting, day 7 was the edit, and today day 8 I spent the day writing and recording the music.  I hope you enjoy it!  Please share the link and like it on Facebook.  www.facebook.com/jefgibbonscreative

A video with 3 of my favourite things, my Dad, my son, and my car! This video is part of Project Do Stuf 2014. The car is a 1966 Chevy II, decked out like a Nova. I wanted a 4 door, and once I found this and consulted my car gurus Uncle Shel and Allan Gibbons, they quickly told me I had to get this as the Chevy II was one of their favourite cars. I've been driving it to school almost every day this past year and it's been amazing. The best part is I can fit all 6 of my family members in it! Show me a 2014 car that can do that!!!! I love the car, but since I had to be the one behind the camera I got dear old dad Randy Gibbons to drive it. We had a great day of shooting. The music is original by myself, and was done today as my daily project. Shot all on the Canon C100, shot at 60i and then slowed down in FCPX to 40% of the original speed. Used as a test to see how it performs. It's definitely useable! Check this blog post for the simple instructions on how to shoot slowmo on the C100. http://noamkroll.com/turn-60i-into-60p-for-24p-slow-motion-with-one-click-in-fcp-x-essential-for-c100-any-other-camera-lacking-slow-mo/
