Victory Motorcycles: The Victory Judge

We shot and edited this video on the Canon 5D MKII and 7D, and edited on Final Cut Pro 7 with color timing in Apple Color.  We used the Technicolor Cinestyle picture style on both cameras.  We shot the tracking shots on S22 outside Borrego Springs using a Kenyon KS-6 Gyro for stabilization.

The drag race sequence was shot aboard the USS Midway in San Diego.  A cool moment was loading the bikes onto the flight deck using the bomb elevators.  Definitely a shoot to remember.

 

Todd Eagan and Christina Silva were our riders, and Robert Pandya drove the camera truck (and had a cameo in the video as well).

Canon T2i Test Footage

Disclaimer - Production Nerd Alert:  I just purchased the Canon T2i, and shot some sample footage of my son finding snails in a nearby pond. I used the Canon 18-55 lens, and shot the video at 1080p 24 fps. I used the auto movie settings, and used the Zoom H4n for audio at 44.1khz.

For post, I used MPEG Streamclip to convert the file to 960x720 using the DVCPRO HD 720p compressor, and edited in Final Cut Pro. I then used Compressor to export for Vimeo using H.264 compression with AAC audio.

I am really impressed with the results, and had to subscribe to Vimeo who I feel have the best support for online HD video.
