Hi Scott...as a fellow filmmaker and C70 user from Malta, I tip my hat to you for the great and informative video. Love how you were constantly showing the actual shots from the C70 after the bts videos...and great work on the actual spot as well. Kudos man!
Nice work there Scott you guys really have some amazing forest locations there. A lot of our forest is logged after 25 years so by the time its getting really nice its gone. The final film turned out awesome some really nice shots in there. The crap weather probably helped with the vibe of the finished product.
Thanks Scott, I definitely feel fortunate to have the forests we have here. We get about 50-60 years on average I think before they are logged so they get pretty lush. The weather definitely helped add to the vibe despite the challenges it gave us while filming.
hey scott. just stumbled on your channel. Ive been filming bikes for a little over a year now. Moving onto MTB shooting and learning so much from you. keep it up.
@@ScottBell It was a very inspiring edit, the extra effort on the little details are subtle but so important. I'm looking forward to seeing this channel grow!
Those BTSses are so interesting. How simple some spectacular shots are and how complicated some simple shots are is mind-blowing. ❤️ Greetings from Germany
Oh man, such an inspirational video! I'm struggling in the dreadful snow up here at the moment, can't wait for spring so I can both go out and ride my own bike, as well as shoot videos of others riding... this stuff help get me through it! Cheers Scott, looking forward to the next one. /Fred
Amazing work Scott. Loving the beauty shots of the bike. May I ask which mic is the "mini shotgun" you show at around 5:54? And which Softie did you go with with the shorter length?
Thanks for watching Brandon, glad you enjoyed it. It's the Deity S-Mic 2S amzn.to/3Vk6Gtr and the softie is this one www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/322369-REG/Rycote_033022_Standard_Hole_Softie_Windscreen.html
@@ScottBell thank you for your response! Were you using it in full power? I'm looking at the new aputure 60d with batteries and I don't now if it will be enough for that kind of shoots!
I had it at full power and it was barely enough light - I had to shoot at iso 4000. I'd want at least a 300d to pull a shot like this off in the future.
This is wonderful, definitely pushing me to switch to a c70. When shooting wide on the gimbal, are you running the auto focus? Also, what kind of aperture?
Thanks for watching. I don't use autofocus very much, only in controlled situations where I'm doing a push-in on a moving object or something like that. Otherwise, I'm manual focus 99% of the time. Aperture varies depending on the needs of the shot but often in darker forests I'm at f2.8 to keep my ISO as low as I can.
@@ScottBell It's amazing that you nailed all shots with manual focus despite the speed of the rider ! How did you do ? You racking the focus with the movement of the rider or your stick your focus on an area ? Keep up the good work, thank you for the channel mate !
@@gurvanntouze7313 it's a mix of racking focus and keeping focus point the same but ensuring focal plane is deep enough to get the action so in focus. I don't always nail my racking shots and have to ask the rider to do it again.
Thank you for checking it out! In terms of shooting with the telephoto it varies depending on the circumstances. Often the forest is so dark I have no choice but to be wide open but I'd say general range is 2.8-5.6. If you are specifically referring to the pan shots the key is to find a position to shoot from that will maintain an approximate equal distance between you and the rider so you don't need to adjust focus during the shot. If you have someone pulling focus this would be less of a concern. Hope that helps.
I've been borrowing different ladders from friends but always like to have a multi-position ladder and an extension ladder. The multi-position is heavy but can be setup as an a-frame when you are unable to find a setup against a tree. The extension is much lighter for the height you get out of it but requires a tree to lean it on. You could also look at the telescoping ladder instead of an extension ladder but I haven't tested the stability of that myself yet. Hope that helps!
@@ScottBell appreciate that. Been looking at some telescoping ladders from Harbor Freight for the light weight, but the lack of a "hook" to keep it against a tree makes me nervous lol. Cheers
I shoot in a variety of frame rates depending on the needs of the shot. Everything that is played in real-time is shot at 24p for the most part - occasionally I'll play at 60p clip at full speed but generally am slowing 60p footage down to 40%. I also shoot in 120 fps when I really want to slow a trick down.
HOW is that bike standing up all on it's own!? MAGIC AF!
hahah the magic of a special metal support :)
Super fun project, can’t wait for the next one!
Yeah buddy, always a good time! Thanks for killing it on the bike.

Thanks for watching Logan, how are you finding the C70 for the work you do?
@@ScottBell It's amazing! I can't imagine anything fitting better. You can check some of my work out here - ruclips.net/user/tremellenmediahouse

awesome video as always Scott! What is the brand of the light at 4:21

Hey Scott, odd question, but what ladder are you using? Looking at getting one for an upcoming shoot

Do you just stick to one constant frame rate when filming?
I shoot in a variety of frame rates depending on the needs of the shot. Everything that is played in real-time is shot at 24p for the most part - occasionally I'll play at 60p clip at full speed but generally am slowing 60p footage down to 40%.
