clinton waller — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:26:18 +0000

As promised, on Sunday afternoon I paid a visit to the City Hall and Court House in Nelson BC Canada with a better video camera to find out more about the local “Occupy Nelson” movement:

Music is “Napalese Sun” by Ishq

This video has lots of protest signs to read and some interviews with street people talking about their personal views on the occupy demonstration.

Looks like the Occupy Wall Street movement has arrived in Nelson BC Canada:

I ran into this marching demonstration during lunch today and recorded a fragment of the parade using my iPhone 4.

Could be interesting to see how this unfolds.. I’ll try to get some smoother footage of the protest at the town court house using one of my better cameras tomorrow.

Gratitude to the random stranger in the bagman fight scene — we think his name was Glen. We found him on Jam Factory Lane.

Technical Notes:

Most of this video was filmed using the Panasonic AG-HMC150P high definition camera at 1080p using a tripod with fluid head for smooth, steady shots.

In the scene where a car can be seen driving away from Gisto (the bagman) I used a Sony HDR-XR200 HandyCam mounted to the exterior of the car using a vacuum mount — a little risky but worth the effort to yield this unique view.

The audio was recorded live using a R0DE shotgun mic with the input levels turned down low to prevent clipping which rendered a full, rich loud sound with minimal distortion.

The final video was assembled, edited, and composited using Final Cut Express and some filters from FxFactory Pro.

a Visit to the Capitol Theatre in the City of Nelson BC

Nelson BC is a vibrant arts community nestled in the Selkirk mountains on the western arm of Kootenay Lake in the country of Canada. The Capitol Theatre features live performances and is definitely worth the visit..

Local Audio Content — if you’re from the Nelson BC area and wish to share your music with the world via the medium of quality high definition video let’s talk!

Technical Notes:

Shooting HD video in the dim lighting conditions of an indoor theatre can be challenging; fortunately the Panasonic AG-HMC150P HD video camera performs quite well at these kinds of venues as evidenced in this collection of HD video clips. We filmed these video sequences at 24 frames per second and discovered that iMovie ’11 is now capable of handling this frame rate — previously iMovie ’09 rejected 24 fps clips. The still photos in this video were shot using the Nikon D5000 under sunny conditions and shined up using Aperture 3.
