Tuesday 21st from Tobit Emmens on Vimeo.

Richard James: the unplugged sessions
I was responsible for a fixed Sony EX1, a fixed Sony Z1 and a Canon 5DMkii which was mounted on a 1.5m glidetrack for 3 tracks that made up this session.

The Gingerbread Man
This ‘award winning’* stop motion animation was mostly the work of my 6 year old although I did lend a hand setting up the camera and editing it all together. We used a Canon 5D mkii on full manual (not that you could tell) and a 50mm f/1.2 lens. The ‘set’ was badly lit with an old angle poise lamp. We used Quicktime 7 to make image sequences at 6FPS and then edited together with Final Cut Pro

*the award being in the top 12 animations submitted to the school and a place on an Animated Exeter workshop

Mort-Gage from David Salas on Vimeo.

Written by Benjamin J Borley & David Salas as Exeter Phoenix Digital Short Film Commission 2010. I was privileged to work on the sound team, responsible for location sound. I was also second camera.

Light my way from Damo Cross on Vimeo.

I was DoP / cameraman (using the 5DMkII and the 7D) for this music video shoot of local band Empire Nation performing their new track Light my way. This was an all-night shoot and boy was it cold!

Waiting for the call – Richard James from Damo Cross on Vimeo.

Not sure whether I was first, second or third camera on this music video of Richard James’s Waiting for the call, but I used a 5DMkII and a 70-200 F/2.8 lens, shooting from the right hand side of the stage. Damo shot the handheld footage on a 7D using the 16-35mm f/2.8 lens, and we had 2 fixed cameras.

STEP: Specialist Team for Early Psychosis from tobit emmens on Vimeo.

This next film was commissioned by our STEP team, I was Director, runner and a grip, and compiled the first rough cut of the footage

swimming from tobit emmens on Vimeo.

This was shot on a 7D using the 100mm F/2.8 Macro lens. Shot at 50FPS and confirmed to 25FPS using the workflow from Philip Bloom that can be found here.

penCLAHRC Learning together event from tobit emmens on Vimeo.

This was shot using a canon 16-35 lens on the 5DMkII with the camera set to AV mode f4.5 and ISO at 640, shutter interval 2 seconds. It is a little boring, but I think our director would like us all to work that fast all the time. Oh, and it was my first effort at timelapse.
