Dead link.
This film consists of clips from 21 and 22 July of 2014. It was not intended that these clips should end up ia a short film.
The 13 January 2015, a freighter lost large parts of its load in a storm at the north sea. The boat was loaded with timber and large parts of the load blew ashore in the coast where I live. It became a "Klondike-like" atmosphere among the residents and people in the area to gather free wood. The result was that my childhood playgrounds changed. Landowners with boathouses that stood until maturity, now took the chance to demolish the old buildings to raise new ones. The film captures the cultural landscape as it looked before this boat lost its load.
The day I filmed was the hottest day as long as I can remember. The thermometer showed 32-35 degrees Celsius. This is very unusual in my local aera. The first part of the film is devoted to the coast where I spent much time in the childhood. The second part depicts the everyday life of my dear family this hot summer weekdays. It was fairly quiet because the heat took its toll. The silence was also due to the fact that all the kids in the family was away on vacation.
Technical
Filmed with a GoPro 3+ black edition. Bought the camera when it was launched and has not properly started using it until now. The film is edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. The idea behind the film was to expand my knowledge of masking and rotoscoping. Therefore some sequences seem a little insincere. When practicing these techniques, it is easy to fall for the temptation to exaggerate too much. Believe me, this version is toned down from the first editing was done.
To edit GoPro footage in Premiere pro is not easy. Found out after I had filmed , that the blender in the camera adjusts automatically. It was not easy to correct this during editing. Besides, the "lens distortion removal function" is very much computing power intense because the feature is not optimized for the "Mercury playback engine" just yet. Especially in combination with the "Warp stabilizer". This combination creates lots of "flicker" in the image. When in addition to "sharpen" the image, this requires a powerfull computer. Chose not to "sharpen" the image when it magnified the "flicker" too much. It turned out that my computer had enough power, but Adobe Premiere Pro CC struggled to keep up. The software crashed sometimes as a result. To "save" more often than usual is a necessity when working with GoPro clips.
Music.
The music is by Peaking Lights. The song is called Summertime. It is my hope that Peaking Lights approves the use of their music in the film. Have not quite figured out how to get in touch with them to ask permission. If anyone has objections that the music is used in the film, please contact me and I will remove the sound from the movie.
Denne filmen består av klipp fra 21. og 22. juli 2014. Det var ikke meningen at disse klippene skulle ende opp i en kortfilm.
Den 13. januar 2015 mistet et frakteskip store deler av lasten sin i en storm i Nordsjøen. Skipet var lastet med tømmer, og store deler av lasten blåste i land langs kysten der jeg bor. Det skapte en "Klondike-lignende" atmosfære blant innbyggerne og folk i området for å samle gratis trevirke. Resultatet var at lekeplassene mine fra barndommen endret seg. Grunneiere med båthus som hadde stått til forfall, benyttet nå sjansen til å rive de gamle bygningene for å bygge nye. Filmen fanger det kulturelle landskapet slik det så ut før dette skipet mistet lasten sin.
Dagen jeg filmet, var den varmeste dagen jeg kan huske. Termometeret viste 32-35 grader Celsius. Dette er veldig uvanlig i mitt lokale område. Første del av filmen er viet til kysten der jeg tilbrakte mye tid i barndommen. Den andre delen skildrer hverdagen til min kjære familie denne varme sommerukedagen. Det var en ganske lat dag fordi varmen tok på. Roen skyldtes også det faktum at alle barna i familien var på ferie.
Film teknisk
Filmet med en GoPro 3+ black edition. Kjøpte kameraet da det ble lansert og har ikke brukt det skikkelig før nå. Filmen er redigert i Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Ideen bak filmen var å utvide min kunnskap om maskelegging og rotoskopering. Derfor virker noen sekvenser litt uekte. Når man øver på disse teknikkene, er det lett å falle for fristelsen til å overdrive. Tro meg, denne versjonen er nedtonet fra den første redigeringen som ble gjort.
Å redigere GoPro-opptak i Premiere Pro er ikke enkelt. Fant ut etter at jeg hadde filmet, at blenderen i kameraet justerer seg automatisk. Det var ikke lett å rette dette opp under redigering. I tillegg er "linsefjerningsfunksjonen" veldig krevende for datamaskinen fordi funksjonen ikke er optimalisert for "Mercury playback engine" ennå. Spesielt i kombinasjon med "Warp stabilizer". Denne kombinasjonen skaper mye "flikkering" i bildet. Når man i tillegg skal "skjerpe" bildet, krever dette en kraftig datamaskin. Valgte å ikke "skjerpe" bildet når "flikkeringen" ble for stor. Det viste seg at datamaskinen min hadde nok kraft, men Adobe Premiere Pro CC slet med å følge med. Programvaren krasjet noen ganger som et resultat. Å "lagre" oftere enn vanlig er nødvendig når man jobber med GoPro-klipp.
Musikk.
Musikken er av Peaking Lights. Sangen heter Summertime. Jeg håper at Peaking Lights godkjenner bruken av musikken deres i filmen. Har ikke helt funnet ut hvordan jeg kan komme i kontakt med dem for å be om tillatelse. Hvis noen har innvendinger mot at musikken brukes i filmen, vennligst kontakt meg, så fjerner jeg lyden fra filmen.
