This is kinda my reel. Not in the traditional manner but whatever. Lots of shots here. About 5 minutes. Some seen before, most not. Mainly shot on XHA1 but also XLH1. Some with stock lens, some with Letus FE and Letus Extreme. A big mish mosh...best of disjecta.

I will not be posting a full rez version of this because it's just way too big and a pain...sorry.

Enjoy it and hire me:

Thanks to Phil Bloom for the inspiration to use the Village soundtrack (this is a placeholder until an original soundtrack is created).

Steven, that is very very impressive.
Really influential in terms of framing and movement as well.

I'm working on something like that, that I hope to be the urban equivalent.

Chris Barcellos · November 8th, 2007, 12:20 AM

Nice reel, Steven....once again....more inspiration for us...

Doug Davis · November 8th, 2007, 12:36 AM

Thanks to Phil Bloom for the inspiration to use the Village soundtrack.

If you were in the UK, I would hire you in an instant.

Steven,

As usual, it's always a pleasure and inspiration to see your work. Thank you for sharing.

By the way some footage is wider than it is taller. Do you use a mask in post? The aspect ratio of the visible parts (if you get what I mean) is not 16:9. How and why do you do this?

Shiv.

Steven Reid · November 8th, 2007, 06:20 AM

Stunning. It was like pawing through a chest of little treasures, each one unique yet equally appealing. I watched it twice to make sure I didn't miss any of the little 'pieces.'

Gorgeous. The near dusk and dawn shots are stunning as are the atmosphere ones, mist, fog. As always, great framing.

Somebody hire him.

I've said it before: I really admire your work. You seem to have some kind of magic eye for what works and what don't work. The music you select also gives that extra touch.

I thought I heard that music before, is it from any of your earlier films or is it from a movie i've seen?

Regards,

/Bo

Steven Dempsey · November 8th, 2007, 01:31 PM

Thanks guys (and gal)...

Bo, the music is from the Village...as I said, just a placeholder until I can get an original soundtrack set.

Per Johan Naesje · November 8th, 2007, 01:47 PM

Steven, this is so beautiful to look at. Your work is a great inspiration for me, keep it up and please continue to post here, even if someone hire you for some commersial work!

Thanks

Bo Sundvall · November 8th, 2007, 03:12 PM

Hi

Actually, when I looked at your file, I thought the music either came from The Village, or from another of your films! But thanks for the info anyway!

Regards,

/Bo

Steven Dempsey · November 8th, 2007, 07:20 PM

Thanks guys...just added a quicktime version for those on a mac. See modified first post.

Thank you for sharing.

Really magical. The third shot of the dog walker is breathtaking.

Really impressive. I hope you get a lot of success from your talent.
