Martin Direske Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I was asked to participate in a project by TheMotionCircle back in the day (a quite popular MTB-filmer over here) since he wanted to try two new things he had been wondering about for a while: Trying to make a Trials edit as well as making use of HDR in such a video for the first time. So I couldn't refuse and we started filming in winter last year This is what came around and anybody who knows about HDR might tell from the video how much time he spent in front of the PC to make it look this way ( e.g. he spoke of 315GB of footage ) I was actually surprised when I watched it for the first time earlier this evening.. Have fun! Martin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I've never been a big fan of the way HDR shots tend to give people/objects a glowing halo, but a lot of the clips here seemed to avoid that and that video was really nicely put together. Cool stuff, Martin (& TMC) Looking forward to having you over in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F.N.G Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I liked a lot how it was filmed and some great riding! but I did not like the HDR side of it as it's just not my thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpanzyyyy Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 riding was really good love your style not that keen on the image look though seems like a lot of work for something that doesn't look that good I prefer the look of the hd tra vids by far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Cool riding, not a fan of the HDR though, I'd prefer to see it without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Probally the best filmed and edited trials video out there along with the riding being very smooth. loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 nice riding which the effects ruined. that's perhaps a little harsh, but when watching it I found my attention was being drawn to the effect rather than the riding and I honestly believe riding should always come before anything else. As a result of the effect I can't really remember the video at all, not exactly the result you want at the end of a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result of the effect I can't really remember the video at all, not exactly the result you want at the end of a video. So true. As soon as I'd noticed the glow around the rider I spent my time looking for which clips had it more noticeably than others. Watched it yesterday, couldn't even recollect one move now - just that damn glow. It looked pretty, but that's pretty worthless if it take away from the substance.

manuel Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Isn't hdr in stills done by taking over and underexposed and combining? Which means that it really is just an effect with possibly some tracking to pick out individual bits? It would have been great if the rider looked ok but the big glow and blur, and general proccessedness of it just detracted from the decent filming and riding. Would have preferred some nice colours simply done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Direske Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 That's exactly what he expected: on one hand there are people being amazed by this way of editing and then there those that just find it kind of disturbing. No problem In the end it's up to you to decide whether its cool or not, I myself think it's strange but rather in a positive way since its just different. However, I must agree that it's more about the edit than the riding, which he also is aware of since it was a project Forgot about this badboy: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) stylish. not that massive riding focused as your recent videos,but dermaßen geiles gesamtpaket,as a german would say... in english i would say very nice package at all.

TrialsIsHard Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Not sure what to make of the filming, did have to watch the video twice because the first time I was memorized by the effects.. Really good video though enjoyed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I was going to say that HDR makes the UK look like Germany but then noticed this IS Germany. Great video, great effort. Hats off to you sir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Didn't really like the edit and looked like the riding was sacrificed a bit as a result. Cool to see something new being done though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
