Chris got the Spectral, Jacob the Stoic. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">The Stoic film - Rider catching up with her mates/riding vids via social media while out and about before meeting up with them for real and going riding. Showing off the fact the bike can ride pretty much anything put in front of it. </p><p class="MsoNormal">This project was shot in the south west of the UK with Freddy and James, North Wales with Kaos and in France for Tomas as well as Bristol for the city scenes. <br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Shout out to Maya for being the person on the phone, a real rider, who rides for Canyon so was rad to get her involved, gutted she was so fresh to the team having only signed her contract a week prior to shooting she didn't have any kit or bikes, soon come though! <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HhOTPTKgxEI" width="560"></iframe> </p><p>The Spectral film - Again highlighting how the bike is really a do it all bike, from tech climbing, jumps, more DH style riding etc. </p><p>From North Wales to multiple locations in France while riders were in Europe for the WC's, the USA and some studio bits in Bristol. Quite the feat to organise logistically but it all came off in the end.

They shared some riders, and some locations, but each had their own specific parts too. Lining up the shoots, riders, crews etc to make sure we got what we needed in the bag, as swiftly as possible was key for both fitting everything into a tight space of time, and as ever, time = money so keeping shooting days to a min and being clever with how things slotted in was key to staying on budget. </p><p class="MsoNormal">A little overrun in budget is factored into most shoots, but if you can keep the budget in check the client is always appreciative. <br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg47LaVdyj2ZEQN1AqGwFrnEOPS7781kywoXiiffWo8eaPM2hkZYeQaowgabRTJ2gdjkt2n4jpvrsJE7kIUEo0tyqaz9RAF3E0xhdK8C87Y-GMTMIdgSkvkh9o_WelLDEPEeo7ThS-1BzKu/s2048/Screenshot+%252866%2529.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1438" data-original-width="2048" height="339" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg47LaVdyj2ZEQN1AqGwFrnEOPS7781kywoXiiffWo8eaPM2hkZYeQaowgabRTJ2gdjkt2n4jpvrsJE7kIUEo0tyqaz9RAF3E0xhdK8C87Y-GMTMIdgSkvkh9o_WelLDEPEeo7ThS-1BzKu/w482-h339/Screenshot+%252866%2529.png" width="482" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A few pages from the deck/treatment to give you an idea of the kind of thing we bounce between all parties to make sure everyone's on the same page. <br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><u>Shooting - First half of November</u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The principle photography on both projects was all done in the first half of November.

I shouldn't need to explain why this is key... (unless its a personal project then just be up front with the fact its for the love)<br /> <br />- Decks and treatments to make sure client/production company/crew/riders are fully on the same page and in agreeance as to what the outcome should be. Nail down the look and concept. <br /> <br />- Shot list/production docs drawn up by the director/DPs to send to all the satellite camera units to make sure they know what they are getting and in what formats etc to make sure the production looks as cohesive as possible. <br /> <br />- Information sheet/Deck sent to VFX, Grade, Sound with examples and notes on how the director/DP see the post side coming together. Can be done on the phone but having a doc/email for them to refer back to while working is usually appreciated. <br /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p class="MsoNormal">So that's a bit more information on how a job like this comes together, and this only scratches the surface of the wealth of stuff to do organising a shoot small or large. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Hopefully you might find something useful from all the above, that you can use on your next project. <br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">At the end of the day though its a collaborative effort, and coming out with an end product that works with the brands image, shows off the product well and ultimately keeps the client happy is the aim. As long as those happen there isn't really a right or wrong way of going about things, just what works best for you. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><u><span>Happy client = More work!</span></u></b><span> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span>See below: </span><b><u><span><br /></span></u></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">"<i>These were great projects to work on with Aspect Media.

It seemed like the last few years have just seen little steps here and there, and summer 2020 saw most of the big players really take a huge leap. </p><p></p><p>For the last few years I was using the Sony FS5/Inferno/Metabones combo which is a great setup. I got 5 years use out of that body which is great ROI wise and the images it produced at normal 24/25p frame rates where great and held up alongside the Red footage I often shoot with as well. When shot on the Inferno in Prores 422 HQ the image was great...b ut its time had come and the reasons I wanted to upgrade where: </p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Shooting along side a Red on most jobs and holding its own.<br /></li><li>Really solid 4K more important to me than higher resolutions that compromise 4K. <br /></li><li>Need for 4k Slow mo at 120fps min.<br /></li><li>Internal raw and not needing the Inferno thus making kit smaller and lighter</li><li>Better low light than the FS5. Clean ISO 3200. <br /></li><li>Better noise floor than the FS5.</li><li>Smallish, lightish, and pro level audio. <br /></li></ul><p><b><u><br /></u></b></p><p><b><u>So with that list of wants I did a LOT of reading into all the options, which where: </u></b></p><p> </p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Sony FX9 - Reason for not picking: 4k slow mo options not there, wrong shape. <br /></li><li>Second hand Red Scarlett W - Reason for not picking: Old tech, average audio, no NDs, not good low light.</li><li>Red Komodo - Reason for not picking: No slow mo above 2k, No pro audio inputs, No nds etc</li><li>Zcam F6 - Reason for not picking: Semi unknown brand, Not full 4k slow mo, No internal raw, No pro audio inputs, No NDs.<br /></li><li>Sony A7S3 - Reason for not picking: Too small, No NDs, No internal raw</li></ol><p>So with all that said I landed on the C300 Mk3 and got a pre order in on the day of release and was one of the first people in the UK to get one. So I have already been shooting for a month with it, racking up some 20 shoot days already so feel like I am fully at home with the camera and ready to put a few thoughts down on paper. <br /></p><p><b><u>Reasons why I chose it: </u></b></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Great Canon colours. Subjective I know but I have always liked them.</li><li>S35 sensor.<br /></li><li>Dynamic range. Canon claimed 15+ stops and from shooting with the camera in all conditions and having the image graded professionally along side Red footage from the same shoot, its right up there alongside it. </li><li>For a quote from Dan Moran, one of the UKs best colourists on the footage he has graded on a few of our projects recently see the end of this post. <br /></li><li>Great 4k slow mo. 4K internal raw at upto 120fps, with NO CROP! and with full AF is mad good! <br /></li><li>Internal 12 bit raw. Not needing to worry about big, heavy, power hungry external monitors to get top level recording is a big plus. <br /></li><li>Low noise floor and super clean images. <br /></li><li>All in one style body with pro XLR audio ports on the small well shaped body, Built in NDs etc</li><li>Solid trusted brand and support network. </li><li>Native Canon mount lens's</li><li>Dual Pixel AF. A feature I didnt think I would use given I didnt feel like it was lacking on my FS5 set up but after my first month, super useful. <br /></li><li>Low light performance. Really good usable image upto ISO 3200 easy. 6400 if you push it and do some post work. </li><li>Great screen. Good size, great and easy to view without hood in bright sun, touch screen for AF, thumb control on the screen along with programmable buttons and a flip function. </li><li>Size and weight small enough to be easy to fly with, and get on a gimbal. I have the Movi M15 with extended vertical cage rods, only about 1 inch longer and it fits a dream. If I didnt have my little DIY bit it wouldnt need the extentions. <br /></li><li>Battery life. With 2 small BPA 90WH batteries I have a full day of doc style shooting with long form interviews and lots of slow mo/AF work.</li><li>Turns on in 1 second flat. Means you can turn it on and off between shots thus saving loads of battery life, a huge plus over the Reds. <br /></li></ul><p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><u>My set up, lessons learnt and what Ive bought for it:</u></b><br /></p><p> </p><p>So after buying, making some mistakes with third party batteries that the camera didnt recognise etc the things and kit I have landed on that just work, and have got me to a really comfortable, small shooting set up good for a full day of shooting lots both power and space wise are: </p><p><br /></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>- Extra long screen cable for gimbal use. Twice as long as the one that comes with the camera, and while not cheap, its a must for gimbal work so as not to put too much un-needed pressure and strain on the motors. Lets the camera move more freely. - £260 CVP </li></ul><p> </p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>- Third party batteries. Hawkwood from CVP. The Canon offical batteries are great, but just a lot of money, so I was determinded to find a good third party option. I got some cheap ones off Amazon, and sent them right back as the camera nor charger would recognise them. So one rung up the ladder in price and I found the Hawkwoods which work great! <br /></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>£102 for the small 50WH giving me 55 min run time.<br /></li><li>£175 for the "large" 98WH giving me 184 min ( just over 3 hours run time! ) <br /></li><li>The Canon offical 90WH one is £306 for comparison.</li></ul><p>I have done plenty of big shoot days now, 14 hours etc, and the 3 batteries I have, Canon one that came with it and the 2 Hawkwood onces last all day. The fact you can turn it off between shots and know it will boot up again almost instantly is amazing. No big heavy Vlocks. <br /></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOAbM-FjJ4w8g0YJLKuurpxBoi_D5O-x0slUlp1DO9knrVhFi0LPBP81Xs-lZIoFlnlUozb5X7QpwBQgO_VXp4IfYmDdxEPSlqe8qjvl9j5OFbyGS3Rah4gnjJ7OR3-e0cDi_HElFEXFxS/s2048/C300+shots+-5568.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOAbM-FjJ4w8g0YJLKuurpxBoi_D5O-x0slUlp1DO9knrVhFi0LPBP81Xs-lZIoFlnlUozb5X7QpwBQgO_VXp4IfYmDdxEPSlqe8qjvl9j5OFbyGS3Rah4gnjJ7OR3-e0cDi_HElFEXFxS/s640/C300+shots+-5568.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fully reccomended for extra power instead of the pricey Canon ones. <br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlGmuXPdg9Z-26txPy4HKgA7FMf6w0-8ClJITGo0CHvpa7uhmQNW0QZ6ePDb2P5K7Hvd_SFdDrxwZvDn_rQTy3FLw9CU0sb6D89vssaiQ_SHcYMVym7dRCgVFT2tOJBseHpJLK1lJsEL4r/s2048/C300+shots+-5565.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlGmuXPdg9Z-26txPy4HKgA7FMf6w0-8ClJITGo0CHvpa7uhmQNW0QZ6ePDb2P5K7Hvd_SFdDrxwZvDn_rQTy3FLw9CU0sb6D89vssaiQ_SHcYMVym7dRCgVFT2tOJBseHpJLK1lJsEL4r/s640/C300+shots+-5565.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The 50 and 98 WH for size comparison.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTxzHIHr1ip2sdrqzotkr-FUVpdWG6Hvoz7ublqyQOVegCM5Tf-SOZ5t9Bg6Ms0cZAumLCM7g53EIyLwdahn9dyMH0AUctvZJBZCLSyWvi20FVJh5fRJKwdtU8BsijgdGt7ra36WcDLxJd/s2048/C300+shots+-5563.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTxzHIHr1ip2sdrqzotkr-FUVpdWG6Hvoz7ublqyQOVegCM5Tf-SOZ5t9Bg6Ms0cZAumLCM7g53EIyLwdahn9dyMH0AUctvZJBZCLSyWvi20FVJh5fRJKwdtU8BsijgdGt7ra36WcDLxJd/s640/C300+shots+-5563.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The 50 WH sits nice and flush with the body making for a great tiny, light package but still giving you an hour run time. <br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3PZuoN8riON4jKk4_9234zhsOqZWL1drx79DxeGpyI5A-5j2w6KXU9cK1cmfQz5T7B8bZc62MM1uXpj91Vr8lvVCHCCeSG-NM8OizyEeMP57arC_-VvkNVDYNMSvLckCUWUga1M6k_64f/s2048/C300+shots+-5560.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3PZuoN8riON4jKk4_9234zhsOqZWL1drx79DxeGpyI5A-5j2w6KXU9cK1cmfQz5T7B8bZc62MM1uXpj91Vr8lvVCHCCeSG-NM8OizyEeMP57arC_-VvkNVDYNMSvLckCUWUga1M6k_64f/s640/C300+shots+-5560.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Stick the 98WH in and you have 3 hours! <br /></td></tr></tbody></table> <p></p><p><br /></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Cards again third parties as well as more solid Sandisk:<br /></li></ul><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Sandisk 512gb £690.

Recently here at Aspect we have been shooting some stills photography for various friends and clients using a range of lighting kit and after posting one or two up on social media thought i would answer a few people at once with this blog with some more info on the set ups used, kit and thought process behind the shots.<br />
<br />
So first off I will get the nerdy kit questions out the way. All images are shot on the Canon 5D4 body with a range of Sigma art and Canon L glass. Edited in adobe LR and PS.<br />
<br />
So lights wise we have a set of Elincrom Quadra lights. The ELB400 battery pack and the Quadra HS and Pro heads, while using their Canon on camera trigger that supports high speed flash sync allowing us to shoot flash at high shutter speeds, more on why that's great later. The flash receiver is located in the battery pack and allows me flash sync at up to 1/8000th of a second. <br />

So the Elinchrom Quadra lighting kit is amazing, can out power the sun, shoots hi-sync etc. While for a proper studio quality set of lights its crazy small and portable, its still no match for the humble speed light. Enter my battered and bruised but still working like the day I got them Nikon SB800s. Ill explain...<br />

</tbody></table>
So many moons ago I used to shoot with Nikon cameras, and when I did I got myself a couple of nice Nikon SB800 flash guns, I then discovered they could clip an extra battery on the side to increase their power and recharge times. When you couple their super small, light weight form factor, with the fact that they can light most stuff, most of the time, especially if its dark woods etc and they are the go to for most simple shoots, and why change them for another brand when they work 100% for what I need. ( I got myself a Canon flash as well for use on camera when shooting weddings and corporate gigs etc ) The flash gun and SKyport receiver is limited to 1/200th of a second flash sync. <br />
<br />
The main things to consider when choosing which lighting kit to use are: Size, Weight, Power, Flash sync speeds and size of light modifiers I can attach to both lights. <br />
<br />
So that's the kit, and now lets take a look at one or two images and what went into making them lights wise:<br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
<u><b>Shot 1: </b></u><br />
<br />
So in this first shot the aim was a shot of Ben doing his thing for him to use on his website and in his marketing. The shot wanted to be pro looking and so I wanted to play with the nice natural light coming in the windows at the top of the room and flash light.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ben Plenge in his gym.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
So the light on the left was hidden behind the gym kit as not to be in shot, and was the SB800 on around 1/8th power just to pick him off the background. As soon as I use the SB800 the image is limited via flash sync to a shutter speed of 1/200th, which inside was absolutly fine. The light on right was the Quadra with a 100cm Octabox on at around 3 power setting.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
A slightly simpler set up for this one as it only needed the one light, but it had to be the Quadra kit as we where shooting outside on a sunny day and so not only did we need the power of that kit, but also the high flash sync to fully freeze the rider. Shot on full power and the light is up on the deck of the quarter. Shutter speed for this was around 1/1600th.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Shot 3: </u></b><br />

</tbody></table>
I have had a few shots in my head for a while now and this was one of them. I had some smoke bombs waiting for just the right shoot and the stars aligned. The light was streaming in through the trees, Rowan was warmed up and we had the shot without smoke dialled in, so I ran around like a mad man for a few seconds, scrambled back to the camera and fired off this frame before the smoke dissipated. Light wise there is a SB800 on the lip of the jump to catch his silhouette, and the main light on the right just out of frame is the 100cm Octabox Quadra.<br />

Nice and simple, 2 cross light set up. The left hand light was the key Quadra Octabox and the light on the right was the SB800 just filling in the shaddows.<br />

I wont even start with the same old apology for not updating this thing more. Race season is in full swing and we are fairly busy with it all. I do how ever promise this blog will get some more love over the off season.<br />
<br />
Till then though a quick update on a few things Aspect has been up to in the last few months. Starting with the biggest...<br />
<br />
<u><b>Deathgrip</b></u><br />
<br />
If you have been under a rock for the last year then you may get away with not having heard of it, but if not, then I am sure you will know about Brendan Fairclough and Clay Porters film Deathgrip.<br />
<br />
Aspect Media had a fair hand in it, with Aspect co founder Chris Seager being co-directer and DOP on the film, and Jacob being one of the photographers shooting still photos and some C/D cam video on the shoot.<br />
<br />
See the official trailer for the film here:<br />
<br />

<br />
Also check out the amazing photo book / magazine that goes with the film, packed with amazing images from all the photographers. Also lesser known fact is it was all designed by Ex Dirt designer ( from back in the good ol days ) Jon Gregory. Like going back in time, in a good way! :<br />

<br />
<br />
As well as Deathgrip, we have also been flat out covering the EWS as per usual. Some amazing venues, even better racing and pumping out some pretty top quality coverage, even if we do say so ourselves.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Enduro World Series </b></u><br />
<br />
For a quick glimpse of the coverage check out both a one minute highlights video, and the full 20 odd minute coverage below. To keep up with the coverage from every round look for either <a href="http://enduroworldseries.com/">EWS</a> coverage on<a href="https://www.pinkbike.com/"> Pinkbike </a>front page, or the EWS Youtube around when an event is on.<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
<u><b>Four Corners</b></u><br />
<br />
Leading up to the Madeira round of the EWS the local organizers ran a film contest, and Aspect where lucky enough to get an invite. We got Funny man and pinner Olly Wilkins from Focus Bikes, and good friend of Aspect and killer filmer Ben Walton together and went out to the Island MTB paradise for a week of filming and the film below is what we came away with: <br />

<br /></div>
<u><b>Jake Nichols Moto Film </b></u><br />
<br />
Personal work this time. Jake Nichols is one of the UKs best Moto racers, and has a pretty amazing private training compound. So via some mutual friends we linked up, and went and filmed the film below. Simple aims, to stretch our creative legs, make something new, and also help push Aspect into the Moto world a little more. With some killer projects coming up with some big moto brands it worked well.<br />
<br />

<br />
We have also done a million other smaller project here and there, both video and stills for a whole range of clients. Sports and corporate. Some part way through being finished up can update on those soon enough.<br />
<br />
As ever the best way to keep up to date with what we are up to is hit us up on FB. Update much more than this blog I promise.<br />

Gear isn't the be all and end all, and most of the time its not the only way to up your game.<br />
<br />
How ever after 3 years of hard service ( and I mean hard ) my 5DMk3 was starting to flag. Nothing critical but the odd thing that was just a bit weird and showing its age, time to retire it to the job of back up. Step in the new Mk4. Tiny bit smaller, Tiny bit lighter ( very welcome ) and a fair bit more punch. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Video Nerds! </b></u>Now when I got my Mk3 it was a camera I used it for two solid years to shoot both photos and video. I now have the amazing Sony FS5 for video, and so this new camera is much more a photo only body for me. I will add a bit on at the end for video though so skip down there if that's what your after. Back to photo stuff...<br />
<br />
Nothing too life changing specs wise, but a few very nice improvements. Ive had the camera for a good few weeks now and shot with it pretty much every day since I got it, but mostly on a few jobs I cant show the world for a few months yet ( *Cough* Deathgrip *Cough* ) so I sadly cant show you loads of images that would really show what I am on about ISO/DR wise etc. <br />
<br />
How ever I have just got back from a few days in Spain shooting for old friends of Aspect RoostDH and now have one or two shots I can use to put this post up. Read on below for my few things I think are worth the upgrade: <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr4kS0-z6crLR402P2PDaBX-d824E5CIg83I6O7UGABD9grvdELcAE17MQsZdgp-ZhifzX52EHwwsGT0ovK987ofxzsiYC7FsWxKJ0AAYCdJqYDrRybTpwPOWFjO9vo6lCxxJtiuSl1r9O/s1600/Photo+15-11-2016%252C+11+32+54.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr4kS0-z6crLR402P2PDaBX-d824E5CIg83I6O7UGABD9grvdELcAE17MQsZdgp-ZhifzX52EHwwsGT0ovK987ofxzsiYC7FsWxKJ0AAYCdJqYDrRybTpwPOWFjO9vo6lCxxJtiuSl1r9O/s640/Photo+15-11-2016%252C+11+32+54.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The new toy. Small steps better than than a giant leap. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<b><u>Low Light: </u></b>The old Mk3 found its upper limit at around 1600 for Clean images, 6400 in a pinch and not above if you wanted to use the images for anything other than Instagram.<br />
<br />
The new Mk4 pushes those limits way up. Now 6400 is Clean! , 8000 is more than ok, 10,000 is still very usable, and much above that I haven't even needed to use. With fast glass and ISO 10,000 you can shoot in the dark pretty much, great for the dark woods Im in all the time. <br />
<br />
One thing to note is the ever annoying trade off in Dynamic Range vs ISO. Amazing in this new camera as ill mention below but only up till about ISO 1600 when it looks much like the older Mk3 at low ISOs. <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3JOxN06B3vw5fvSyINQHcuNyf9rC5vavWBvsjPG33KBxUM0S1L78t1NP7FJzwUTedyyclc8M_IYqIQdTx1JF2u9fR8Th0yKquyThiKls4BaVQKI_wn1fxBOpWPhakeTJ98Du-kSPdZa9w/s1600/LB3A4140_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3JOxN06B3vw5fvSyINQHcuNyf9rC5vavWBvsjPG33KBxUM0S1L78t1NP7FJzwUTedyyclc8M_IYqIQdTx1JF2u9fR8Th0yKquyThiKls4BaVQKI_wn1fxBOpWPhakeTJ98Du-kSPdZa9w/s640/LB3A4140_1.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Amazing steps up in ISO and Dynamic Ranger</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<b><u>Dynamic Range: </u></b>This is the big one. I would say along with the ISO these two areas make it a worth while upgrade if your in the market for one anyways. If your Mk3 is all good, for now I wouldn't jump ship. ( wait for the price to come down a bit then jump ) <br />
<br />
If you shoot below ISO 1600 this new body now rivals Nikon and Sony in the DR stakes. If you use LR and PS well you can now pretty much do away with flash in a lot of place where you would have needed some fill flash before with the Mk3. Just makes all the images look so much crisper and more vibrant.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggbZC8x9QuiSTRC5ASBYnr7aC_GsuZnuwygrqNqgis2gIoNmv5pyP_ZFR5ZLBy5Wqs4VZZlTbYPzPnH8LYrCak7pvZ04ofPYUc4HvypiF67QGEPCkwM7a0IP5ROfMIihubpRueZxgdZFxW/s1600/LB3A4166_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggbZC8x9QuiSTRC5ASBYnr7aC_GsuZnuwygrqNqgis2gIoNmv5pyP_ZFR5ZLBy5Wqs4VZZlTbYPzPnH8LYrCak7pvZ04ofPYUc4HvypiF67QGEPCkwM7a0IP5ROfMIihubpRueZxgdZFxW/s640/LB3A4166_1.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nice bump in resolution as well. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<b><u>Auto Focus:</u></b> The new auto focus system was dubbed before release as a small step up, but in real world use its far better. Much more accurate especially noticeable at wide open apertures. On the shoots I have done so far with it I would say a solid 20-30% more shots tack sharp when using servo focus with a rider coming right at me. That's a pretty bold claim, but it is a good deal better. <br />
<br />
<b><u>Mega Pixels: </u></b>Not a huge jump as 23MP was more than enough, but still nice to have that extra 7MP. Shots are that bit sharper, can crop in that bit more. Welcome but not revolutionary. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrCsqRIqrsmfQXIQCUml_odoXhe3d13ljdJkB0lmPpZhHvGG92mDkHhz9uljv7ztEAI1YeZMVKguJqoytTffABazjyC9hTJPMmilkjOEeASQEL-mp_gTsEyl14Ob9LrwzMQOMaFToPxnv7/s1600/LB3A4219_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrCsqRIqrsmfQXIQCUml_odoXhe3d13ljdJkB0lmPpZhHvGG92mDkHhz9uljv7ztEAI1YeZMVKguJqoytTffABazjyC9hTJPMmilkjOEeASQEL-mp_gTsEyl14Ob9LrwzMQOMaFToPxnv7/s640/LB3A4219_1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><u>Video: </u></b><br />
<br />
A pretty big improvement even from my very limited testing. I have only shot a hand full of shots on the Mk4 video wise and only looked at them in Premiere, not actually edited or exported anything but its a huge step up over the Mk3 off the bat.<br />
<br />
Sharpness was always an issue with the Mk3, when you put it next to anything from Sony or Panasonic it looked like you had butter smeared over your lens but the new Mk4 is on par with a C100 sharpness wise. You have the ever amazing Canon colour space, no Clog but you can flatten off the PP in camera and it looks great.<br />
<br />
No real video stuff like peaking or zebras which is a shame, but it does have Mic in and Phones out, it shoots in the All-I codec as well as the lower res you will know from the Mk3 and all in 8bit colour, and in 4K @ 30p ( Motion Jpeg codec ) , 1080 @60 and 720 @120. So not bad at all and if I was going off grid into the mountains and needed one body for stills and video it may well do the job.<br />
<br />
If you have any other questions let me know, but so far so good.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
They say time fly's when your having fun, and in the blink of an eye the 2016 race season has come to and end.<br />
<br />
Aspect Media have been flat out all summer, all over the world covering the EWS series as well as shooting clients projects away from the races in between.<br />
<br />
Now we have about a week of down time before all our off season work starts in earnest so as always if you think we could work together on a project, be it photos, video or both dont hesitate to reach out.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the recent projects that have gone live out there on the internet over the last month or so while we have been a little busy to update this blog:<br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<u><b>DMR DEATHGRIP </b></u><br />
<br />
Film we made for DMR bikes and the release of their Brendog signature grips. Studio/indoor dirt jumps, studio lighting and lots of smoke machines used to make something visually new and interesting, outside the normal stuff for the bike world. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>EWS COVERAGE </u></b><br />
<br />
For the last few summers we have been a large part of the production team behind the Enduro World Series. For 2016 we pushed the coverage along with Editor Nico Turner and Producer Richard Cunynghame to yet higher production values. <br />
<br />
<b>Main Film: </b>a 20-30 min recap of the weeks racing, in depth, presenter lead. Online within 48 hours of the race end: <br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2McOonsVrPI" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
<b>One Min:</b> Short 1 minute long all action video out within an hour of the race ending.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>HIPLOK AIRLOK</b></u><br />
<br />
Hiplok are a great company that Aspect has worked with before and this is the crowd funding video for a new product they released. <br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.pinkbike.com/v/embed/454760/?colors=c80000" width="500"></iframe><br />
<br />
<u><b>SCOTLAND IN 4K </b></u><br />
<br />
Flexing the muscles of the Movi Aspect has in its arsenal. 4K from capture to delivery. <br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/170028927" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>

<br />
<br />
<u><b>TRAVEL VIDEO </b></u><br />
<br />
Proof its not all about the latest tech. Short holiday/travel/adventure video from one half of Aspect, Jacob Gibbins holiday with his other half round Canada and the USA. Shot on everything from his phone, point and shoot to the Sony FS5. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We now have a bunch of other shoots in the diary for the autumn which we cant wait to dive into, but as always we would love to hear from you if you think we can work together on something.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

I recently got some new flash kit and wanted to try out a few ideas regarding colored lights, styles and some more non sport studio based work to pad out that side of the portfolio.<br />
<br />
With photography we are all so lucky to be in the position of if we are lacking a specific kind of subject matter from our book, all we have to do is go shoot it, and done. We now have work to show we can work in that style to use in pitches for commissioned work. <br />
<br />
So I gave good pal and killer designer Jay Robinson a call who needed some fresh shots taking for his portfolio and snapped a few things last night.<br />
<br />
Just something a bit different and non bike for a change. Next up men in suits near big shiny buildings! <br />

The last few months have been pretty manic for Aspect, lots of what we have been working on wont see the light of day for a while yet but here are a few things that have hit the internet recently... <br />

<u><b>Will Weston - Imprint Grips: </b></u><br />
<br />
Brief: Short 1:30-2 min video showing off the product while not being too sales heavy and focusing on Wills riding. One day shoot with one filmer ( who also had to shoot some photos to go up with the video ) and as you can see the weather was far from playing ball. <br />

<u><b>EWS Rd 3 - Ireland </b></u><br />
<br />
A large part of our summer is the coverage of the EWS series, so this month it was Rd 3 in Ireland. Over the week the team out puts something like 5 videos but this is the main highlight show. 20 something minutes of race recap out within 48 hours of the last rider crossing the line. Nico Turner smashes these out the park. <u><b> </b></u><br />

<u><b>Deathgrip: </b></u><br />
<br />
Sadly this photo is all I can show you from this all time trip that the Aspect team went on recently. Chris Seager from Aspect is working with Clay Porter and Brendan Fairclough this year on a new full length film project. If you search for the #deathgripfilm on insta you can see the odd little sneak but its a black out till 2017! All time though, you just wait world! <br />

For the last few years we have been in the great and fortunate position of being so busy working, we haven't had much free time to put together a new show reel. The last one we put out in 2012/13 has done us proud but it was time to put together something fresh show casing what Aspect Media can do in 2016.<br />

We saw this as the perfect opportunity to launch our brand spanking new web site as well! Much the same as the reel we just felt the old one was a bit dated and didn't represent us as a company as well as it could so we got killer web designer and coder Tom Hallam to build us a bespoke site.<br />
<br />
Responsive to different screen sizes and devices, clean, large images, social media icons and integration and we think an all round nice place to view our work. <br />
<br />
Check out a few print screens of key parts of it below or just check the site out for real via this link:<br />

Here at Aspect we consider ourselves pretty damn lucky to have friends at some of the best and most well respected companies in action sports kit and camera bags alike. Both of which we use week in week out in some pretty harsh locations. <br />
<br />
Both Tim from Lowepro and Mo at Fox have helped us out with kit for the last year or so in return for good honest feed back from the places there kit will be tested to its limits, and as much exposure as we can get them.<br />
<br />
So when I got a few big boxes through the post the other morning it was a nice treat to have the new Lowepro Drone Guard BP 450 AW for our brand new Phantom 4 ( as well as another Whistler 450 AW as that bag is so bloody good we needed another one, not a thing about it we would change honestly )<br />
<br />
See blog post about the Whistler bag here:<br />

<br />
As you can see from the above photos the bag is pretty big, boxy and well protected. Just what you want for a drone case.<br />
<br />
We used the crappy polystyrene case the drone shipped with for the first week or so we had the drone and while its good enough, even after one day of taking it out for a test flight in the park it was already looking a bit beat up, and put that with the fact that there isn't even room in it for a spare battery its fairly useless. Great if you dont buy another thing other than what it ships with, and dont have far to take it, but you really want a bag designed for carrying a drone and all its bits and doing it safely. <br />

<br />
Not even near fully loaded and the Drone Guard has ample room, padding and protection for all the kit. The 2 pouches at either end of the main compartment keep the drone in place snug, hold plenty of kit them selves and there is room down the sides where you can see we keep the charger. Add in the pocket on the top large enough to store A4 sheets of paper without folding, great for flight books, maps etc, various other zip pockets both on the outside and inside, prop straps so they are fast and easy to get out, all in all its pretty perfect. ( not surprising given Lowepros CV with making bags ) If you had a small DSLR size camera you could squeeze that in with a lens or two as well if needed. <br />
<br />
Light weight enough to fly with, just about hand luggage size ( although we haven't tested this in the bins yet ) <br />

We used to ( still have it some where gathering dust ) an old DJI Phantom 2, and it was great... when it worked. That thing was so unreliable and needed nursing and caused no end of head aches. This new Phantom 4 is just a whole new beast from the ground up, other than bearing the same Phantom name its incomparable. Why did we not do this sooner ?!<br />
<br />
4K, 120Fps, Raw Photos, amazingly smooth gimbal, great video down link to your phone, flys itself, avoids trees ( we have tested this and it works, fly it right at a tree and even with the sticks fully forward it doesn't move )<br />

Annoying needing new batteries again, but these new ones last a good deal longer and charge super fast. All in all after a few first flights its a stunning bit of kit and we cant wait to take our pilots tests later this month and start using it on shoots!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Fox Head Europe Kit: </u></b><br />
<br />
If you know whats up, when it comes to riding kit there are only really a couple of players and Fox Head is right up there. Top of the list in our opinion.<br />
<br />
We have been running their kit for a year or so now and it looks the nuts, works flawlessly, its hard wearing, good value for money and I mean if its good enough for half of the riders we shoot week in week out at the EWS then surely its good enough for us squids ? <br />

So apart from all this clobber turning up we are in the final stretches of getting our new website and show reel out there, busy editing various projects, shooting new ones in 2 countries at the same time and making the most of any down time in between.<br />

Cheers for the support Lowepro and Fox!<br />

Yesterday a new video that Aspect helped shoot went live over on <a href="http://www.pinkbike.com/">Pinkbike</a>. Check it out via the link below:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.pinkbike.com/news/s4p-backcountry-20-with-fairclough-reynolds-and-wilkins-video.html"><i>http://www.pinkbike.com/news/s4p-backcountry-20-with-fairclough-reynolds-and-wilkins-video.html </i></a><br />

<br />
<i>"So
the idea for 'Backcountry' came about, back in 2014 when the S4P crew
started digging at this secret spot just outside of Swindon. Covered in
loam and hero dirt and all on this small yet steep hill - it was just so
much fun to ride. So I went down one day and got the camera out and
filmed a rough-and-ready video, which went down a storm... It's hard to
make anything bad with all those boys, especially when they're all on
good form and bouncing off each other, and the floor.<br /><br />F**k knows
why, but it took us a whole year to get together again and do another
one of these edits. So, with a message from the S4P boys saying "are you
free next week to come film", I dropped everything, grabbed (Chris)
Seager and (Tom) Grundy, filled the car with camera gear and got down
there. There were no steady cams, no jibs and very little slow-mo on the
agenda, just good old fashioned simple fun with mountain bikes. The
cameras were rolling pretty much non-stop because as soon as you stopped
recording, someone would have a huge crash or something else wild would
happen.<br /><br />This edit was shot by myself and Grundy with Seager
shooting bits in between trying to ride and keep up with the pros. As
you will see in the video, he didn't do too badly, but not that great
either ha-ha! Shout out to Grundy who killed it on the editing on this.
You know it's kind of fun, doing a project like this with no client and
no one to please. For this reason, I think these projects will always be
lo-fi and all about the fun!<br /><br />If this becomes an annual
tradition, you can count me in, 100% - for the last two have been been
filled with some of the memorable days. All hail the official S4P
Swindon 'Loaman-Qualiceum'.<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed the video and we look forward to bringing you Backcountry 3.0 next year!"</i><br />

After the last reverse engineer post went down so well I thought it would be rude not to do another one. This time though rather than brides its bikes, good old bikes.<br />
<br />
I spend 80% of my working life shooting bikes in some form. Road, mountain, downhill, moto etc So over the years I have got a nack of turning up to a location and just whipping out the lights, and without any test shots knowing pretty much where to place them, what power and zoom they need to be on, where to stand, camera settings, lens etc and the shot turning out pretty much there within 5 adjustments.<br />
<br />
Gear used in all 3 shots: <br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Canon 5D3</li>
<li>Canon 24-105 F4</li>
<li>Canon 70-200 F2.8</li>
<li>Canon 15mm fish F2.8 </li>
<li>2 x Flash lights</li>
<li>Fired with Pocket wizards</li>
</ul>
So here are 3 shots with varying settings and lighting set ups, and a bit of info behind the why and how of the images... ( click any image to see it larger )<br />

<br />
This shot was taken on a team training and press camp with Giant Factory off road in Portugal a year or two ago. I had no real 1 on 1 time with the riders to shoot and just had to snap shots as they smashed laps in testing bikes. So maybe 10 chances each rider per day. No pressure.<br />
<br />
<br />
As you can see in the left hand, off the camera shot you can see one flash was on the ground to cameras left, see the hot spot on the floor ? The other flash on a tripod at about riders head height, off the cameras right facing into the riders body. Both at pretty wide and about 1/8th power to balance the ambient with the flash.<br />
<br />
In photo shop I cloned out the hot spot on the ground on the left where the flash was, bought back down the sky and fore ground to keep the eye in the middle of frame with the rider and tweaked saturation and white balance as well as dodging and burning.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Taken on a shoot for a start up clothing company wanting shots of their gear out doing what it is intended for, riding. Shot long lens to make use of the trees and get some fore ground in, again with 2 flashes. One to camera right just out of frame by the riders left side on about 1/8th power and wide zoom, the other hidden behind the tree in the middle of frame on 1/8th power and 50mm zoom. IN photo shop nothing wild just contrast, saturation and dodging and burning.</div>

<br />
While this shot might not have had a client when shot, it did end up in print in Dirt magazine as a DPS contents page as well as smaller in a few other magazines.<br />
One flash wide and full power behind the lip to light up the dust off the lip. The second flash behind the camera and a bit closer to the landing of the jump, cameras right. Again pretty wide and about 1/8th power. <br />
<br />
In photo shop nothing to wild yet again. I try to keep it as minimal as possible but sometimes a shot needs more than the simple whole image tweaks. This time though just dodging and burning as well as some contrast and saturation tweaks.<br />
<br />
I will try do another post like this soon but with some set up shots showing exactly where gear is placed etc.<br />

<br />
This last week went off to Wales, the Black Mountain Cycle Center to be more exact to shoot a short and simple shredit with <a href="http://wideopenmag.co.uk/2015/12/joel-shreds-the-black-mountains-cycle-centre">Wideopenmags</a> new pinner and test pilot Joel Anderson. <br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
The brief was simple, a 2-3 min edit, doesn't need to be super polished just good solid riding and an intro to both Joel and the venue. Shot in 5 hours with the new Sony FS5.<br />
<br />
This was the new cameras first real outing, and first finished product shot entirely on the camera. It did just as well as you would expect.<br />
<br />
After talking with a few other Sony users I went for Slog2 with Cinema colour space as Slog3 was just a bit too noisy to trust 100% on a paying job and the end result is no worse off for it at all.<br />
<br />
Main things I found out extra to my post last week after a quick play was:<br />
<br /><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The footage works fine in Premiere CC on 1/2 quality on my laptop ( specs in last blog ) </li>
<li>The clear image zoom DOES affect quality, so use sparingly. </li>
<li>Battery life is amazing. </li>
<li>400Fps has some nasty CA.</li>
<li>Vari NDs will change the way I shoot from now on. </li>
</ul>
Being both a photographer and filmer, I also got a few still photos on the shoot to go up alongside the full article you can find here: <a href="http://wideopenmag.co.uk/2015/12/joel-shreds-the-black-mountains-cycle-centre">http://wideopenmag.co.uk/2015/12/joel-shreds-the-black-mountains-cycle-centre </a><br />

If you want full specs of this camera etc please see <a href="http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/product/broadcast-products-camcorders-digital-motion-picture-camera/pxw-fs5/">here</a>.
This is just a few of my thoughts and findings after my first day
playing with the new camera. Its also the first time I have shot using
Slog and more experimenting is needed before I get it dialed in just
right. </div>

Very rough and ready short video with some footage. Jamie got a flat tire before I could get started so its all hand held. Range of 4K, 1080, 25,50,200 and 800Fps footage. Everything shot at base ISO of 3200 in Slog3 and S-Gamut3.Cine 5500K Colour. Full video shot with the new camera out next week.</div>

<br />
First thing taking it out the box was how small and light it is. Light but solid, feels like it could take a few knocks. Stripped down to just the body ( still perfectly usable ) its not too much bigger in size than a 5D3 body, fits on a Ronin M gimbal and with a pancake lens even most full size drones.<br />
<br />
Even with a large capacity battery in, side handle, top handle, meta bones speed booster and Sigma 24-50 1.4 ( read on ) on its nice, compact and light. I could easily hand hold this for a full days shooting and I wouldn't feel ruined ( I have arms like twigs so that's saying something )<br />

<b><u>LCD Screen </u></b><br />
<br />
The screen can be mounted loads of places, all the places you would want to put it, the side handle can change positions again all the stop clicks seem to be just where you want them to be, the LCDVF on the back of the main body is good, similar to that on an A7 series or GH4, the main screen is better if you can use it mind, almost retina quality. <br />
<br />
<u>The main things that sold me on this camera where:</u><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Small size</li>
<li>10bit colour space</li>
<li>200Fps in 10bit, 400Fps if you take a hit</li>
<li>Vari NDs</li>
<li>Clear Image Zoom </li>
<li>Long battery life</li>
<li>With a speed booster its full frame </li>
<li>Low light capability's</li>
</ul>
I never got this camera with 4K in mind, that will come later as and when clients start asking for it, and via an external recorder 7Q style.<br />
<br />
The only things I heard coming in that might be an issue where the 8bit 4K which like I say isn't an issue in my mind and the fact the XAVC 10bit codec was very computer hungry, other than that it was all good!<br />
<br />
<u><b>10 Bit</b></u><br />
<br />
This was in my book
one of the big steps up this camera offers over say the FS700 or C100.
Rather than only having 256 shades of grey you now have 1024.
Much better for grading, less banding in skies etc<br />
<br />
Slog
on 8 bit cameras is in its very existence a bit tricky to work with.
Super flat PP that need lots of grading, but 8 bit codecs that don't
take grading very well...<br />
<br />
See below to see the kind of
issues you can have shooting and grade out and the pictures still look
amazing, I can see this is going to very useful. <br />

<b><u>Slow Motion</u></b><br />
<br />
In short 200Fps looks amazing, but isn't very forgiving regards exposure, 400Fps is alright but looks worse, don't even bother with 800Fps. <br />
<br />
With 200/25 FPS Super Slow motion I tested it a number of times and got real time recorded time of 8-9 seconds depending on what was in shot, and using GOBE 64GB SDXC Class 10 U3 104MB/S cards took anywhere from 38-40 seconds to buffer.<br />
<br />
I did some tests you can see below to see the quality of both 400 and 800 FPS and the drop off is very noticeable.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
400 is very usable but unsurprisingly only in good light, and if you expose it just right, 800 is a bit of a gimmick and I cant see me ever using it, god awful in wide shots, maybe if its only ever going on phone screens and you shoot long and shallow DOF ?!? How ever 200 was a bit more noise prone than normal frame rates, but if you over exposed slightly looks stunning, 90% as good as full speed footage.<br />

<b><u></u></b><br />
<b><u></u></b><b><u>The Codec</u></b><br />
<br />
Now the camera shoots AVCHD which is great, easy to work with, smaller file sizes and 8bit. If you aren't shooting Log, need a quick turn around or wont be grading much then it makes a lot of sense.<br />
<br />
But if you want Log you really need 10Bit which means you need the XAVC Codec, which as you may have heard, yes does need a good computer.<br />
<br />
I have an I74710HQ 2.5 GHz, 16 GB Ram, NVIDIA GTX 970M 3GB GDDR5, SSD and 7200 drives etc and with my old GH4 footage I could edit away 5+ layers of video at full quality no worries, with the 10bit XAVC from the FS5 though my PC can only manage 2 layers at full quality and if there's nesting, effects, grade etc involved its best to drop the quality to half or even quarter.<br />
<br />
The camera does now shoot proxy recording though which could be a big help. 10bit XAVC to one card, 8bit AVCHD 720 to the other to edit with...? <br />
<br />
Not the end of the world by any means but something to bare in mind. If your editing station is less powerful than what I have listed above you may struggle a bit. The Codec in the FS7 is a lot easier on processor power so if you will need a new PC to edit FS5 footage, but wont for FS7 footage that could be a deciding factor...<br />

<br />
<b><u>Clear Image Zoom</u></b><br />
<br />
Now this is just digital zoom really, but with a posh new name. It only works in 1080 ( as in 4K its using the whole sensor and cant zoom in ) But this feature is pretty amazing, I can see me using it a load.<br />
<br />
There was no obvious change in quality, focus plane, exposure, depth of field, F stop etc it just doubles your focal length with nice smooth servo zoom, even on a prime lens. <br />
<br />
Now with the speed booster Ultra on, and the clear image zoom I get ( All approx ):<br />
<br />
24mm F1.4 is now a 24-48mm F1.4 Constant. ( Meta bones quirk with fast primes not displaying correct Fstops )<br />
70-200mm F2.8 is now a 70-400mm F2.<br />
15mm 2.8 fisheye is now a 15mm F2 fisheye to 30mm Wide F2<br />
24-105mm F4 is now a 24-210mm F2.8 Constant.<br />
<br />
You get the idea but its pretty useful. <br />

<u><b>Vari ND Filter</b></u><br />
<br />
This is amazing, its like wizardry coming from the DSLR/Mirrorless camp. Built in, both hard stop NDs in 4 increments, and the new Vari ND that scrolls via a dial on the side smoothly. No bumps, no something swinging in front of the sensor, should make shots going from inside to outside or compensating for the sun coming in and out in interviews much much easier. From 1/4 right up to 1/128 ND<br />

<br />
<u><b>Low light</b></u><br />
<br />
Slog 2 and 3 are notoriously noisy, and not recommended when shooting in low light so its no real surprise that Slog is ( as far as I have got anyways ) pretty noisy.<br />
<br />
The base on the FS5 is ISO 3200 which if you err on the side of over exposure looks great. If you under expose it though your fucked, it looks horrible. ISO wise you can push it up to ISO 25600 in Slog if you expose it well and its usable, Just. Looks like ISO 2000 on my old GH4.<br />
<br />
The big shock was when I tried out high ISOs in normal Cine2 picture profile. CLEAN up to 12800 ISO! Honestly look at the photos below, still a really nice flat image that will cut together well with Slog with some grading but ISO performance is pretty amazing. A true low light contender, you just need to get out of Slog.<br />

<u><b>4K 8bit Vs 1080 10bit </b></u><br />
<br />
As you can see below, both look great, both have the same levels of noise, sharpness etc The 8 vs 10bit thing just means anything you shoot in 4K Slog you need to 100% Nail your exposure, or even not shoot Slog so you don't have to pull the weaker image around so much, either way I will no doubt use both frame sizes in this camera, but I got it with the intention of it being a 1080 camera for now, 4K with recorders etc in the future. <br />

Another really good thing about the camera is that with its small size and screen that can change its mounting points, you can get it to all tuck in really neatly allowing it to pack into bags really well.<br />

To get a camera like this, in such a compact and comfortable back pack is great. In this photo is the FS5 ready to pull out and shoot with, all handles, screen and 24-105 lens attached, 24mm, 15mm, 50mm, 70-200mm, spare battery and pouch with radio mics in. As well as point and shoot camera, memory cards etc in the other pockets on the bag. Win Win. </td></tr>

<br />
So that's my initial thoughts. Battery life and Bokeh etc are pretty
similar to FS700 and FS7 so that's nothing to write about, you all know
it. Its small, light and fits neatly into my<a href="http://store.lowepro.com/pro-gear/expedition-ready/whistler-bp-450-aw"> Lowepro Whistler</a> ( killer
bag ) with spare glass, battery's and mics in as well. If you want full
specs, un boxing videos etc see youtube or the Sony site <a href="http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/product/broadcast-products-camcorders-digital-motion-picture-camera/pxw-fs5/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
We will be shooting some real projects on this in the next few weeks so will put up another blog post with that as soon as they are done. <br />

Time to breathe. The last few months have, like most months been pretty flat out here at Aspect Media. We are not complaining about that how ever, its great. Lots of great projects and ideas flying round all the time is just how we like it.<br />
<br />
So the last post on this blog was from Whistler BC testing out the new Lowepro Whistler bag, we have now been using it day in day out for months and its still amazing, not skipped a beat. So that's that sorted then.<br />
<br />
Since then though we have been far from quiet as this blog would suggest. So here is a quick summary of some of what we have been up to the last few months, still and video wise:<br />
<br />
<u><b>Canyon Bikes - Stitched 720</b></u><br />
<br />
Aspect Followed the Canyon bikes slope style team round Whistler Crankworx for a week for this video launching there new bike.<br />

<b><u>EWS Finale Highlights</u></b><br />
<br />
As you will know if you follow Aspects work we are the official film crew behind the Enduro World Series. It has been an amazing season that saw us get to a load of the best places to ride on the planet and the coverage the team we where part of has gone down really well. Nico Turner on the editing front and Cunny in front of the camera and pulling the strings, here's to 2016!<br />
<br />

<u><b><br /></b></u>
<u><b>EWS Life of a Mechanic</b></u><br />
<br />
Between the rounds of the EWS we put out videos that focus more on the teams and inner workings of the series, for this one that went out the other month we see what the life of a full time race mechanic is like. <u><b> </b></u><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><u>On Track with Curtis Keene</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
For the last two season RedBull and Boombox have produced the On Track series following EWS racer Curtis Keene. Aspect Media/EWS have had a big part in supplyign the series with footage, over half of the footage in each episode was filmed by Aspect and they are one of the best web series at the moment in our opinion. Great to be involved with it. <br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bqt-oZmBQ94" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
<u><b>RedBull Hardline</b></u><br />
<br />
Now Aspects hand in this is a small one but it was none the less a great project to be a part of. The camera crew on the event was as you can imagine pretty big with about 20 cameras on the hill, Chris Seager from Aspect Media was one of those camera men, plenty of his shots made it into the final cut. Lets see if it happens next year and pushes the limits even further! <br />

<br />
<b><u>Epic TV - Under the Radar</u></b><br />
<br />
In the last few months we put out a few episodes of the UTR series for Epic TV. This episode was with Jasper Flashman. Nice mini doc with someone who lives and breathes bikes. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b><u>Light painting images</u></b><br />
<br />
Shooting bikes and sports is what we do day to day but stretching our creative legs once in a while is good for the soul, with that in mind I caught up with a few other local photographers and had a good evening of light painting and produced some images that I am really happy with.<br />

<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Web Shop and Stickers</u></b><br />
<br />
<br />Last but not least a few weeks ago we launched our web shop. A place where we can sell prints, Canvas's, Tee shirts, stickers and what ever else we end up producing.<br />
<br />
Powered by Big Cartel so its super easy to use and secure as it gets, worth a look for presents for those people in your life who love bikes and the outdoors.<br />

If you follow <a href="http://aspectmedia.tv/">Aspect Media</a> on social media or have looked at our <a href="http://aspectmedia.tv/">website </a>you may have seen the fact we work closely with camera bag manufacturer<a href="http://www.lowepro.com/whistler"> Lowpro</a>. We help to test their products and give them good honest feed back after giving the products real world abuse, and we don't go easy on gear doing what we do. <br />
<br />
As official production company in charge covering the <a href="http://www.enduroworldseries.com/">Enduro World Series </a>its literally our job description to take lots of camera gear out in to remote mountainous locations, no matter the weather and often by riding or hiking bikes to get there. We need gear we can trust, trust not to break when we are 2 hours ride from the nearest road. <br />
<br />
Before the new <a href="http://www.lowepro.com/whistler">Whistler 450AW</a> came along we where using multiple different bags from<a href="http://www.lowepro.com/whistler"> Lowepro</a> depending on the specific job ( Vertex, Flipside, Photosport, Pro Trekker etc ) and having to pack extra bits and bobs on the outside of packs and while all this worked well we noticed certain things that needed adding to make one bag that was perfect for what we did day to day. This new bag sorts all our thoughts and worries and they have hit the BB out of the bike park with this one.<br />
<br />
First off here is a very short video of Chris and myself testing the bag and proving you can ride with it on: <br />

<br />
<br />
Main features of the bag we love, as both still and video shooters who have to both hike and ride bikes with the bag on are:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Large enough to fit in all the gear you will need ( see below )</li>
<li>Fully removable camera compartment if you need to use it just as a hiking bag</li>
<li>Opens from the back so you don't get you back all muddy putting the bag down on the ground </li>
<li>Heavy duty sturdy clips and zips that don't feel like they will die when you yank them hard</li>
<li>All weather cover built in</li>
<li>Bag is shower proof without the cover even on </li>
<li>Big top, side and front pockets for putting bits and bobs in</li>
<li>Front pocket fits a 15" laptop in easy </li>
<li>Bladder pocket on the side</li>
<li>Waist and Sternum straps and back padding are comfy and breathe well even climbing hills in 35 degrees</li>
<li>Orange straps on the front are super strong and can easily clip on tripod/steady cam etc </li>
<li>Small and tourist enough looking to glide through airports and into over head bins on 90% of planes</li>
</ul>

So there you have it. A camera bag that does it all. If you bike, hike, ski, board or even ride a horse etc and need to carry a good amount of camera gear is pretty damn perfect. Not something I say lightly, or without testing.<br />
<br />
We didn't want to post anything online till we had chance to really put the bag through its paces and now with over two weeks of solid riding and shooting under its belt, I can say 110% that I have found my dream camera bag.<br />

Short and sweet post exclusive to this blog thanks to Fox not being ready to release this video on all the main sites just yet. They said we could post it up on here though so enjoy!<br />
<br />
The other week I headed out to an amazing MX1 track in Italy just outside Milan to shoot a new video for Fox Head Europe.<br />
<br />
It wasn't moto though, Fox/Redbull rider Yannick had been invited to go out and help make a bike park on the site. A few super hard, hot days shooting for this but it came out well. Check out the video below: <br />

<br />
It was a tough shoot on a tight schedule made even harder thanks to more time than we had planned getting the course running, and it being too hot to ride between 11am and 4pm. So three days shooting riding turned into two evenings. About 6 hours total.<br />
<br />
Post was turned around super fast as well so the bike park could show the film on big screens at the MX1 race the following weekend to us shooting this. I worked with a good friend of mine and motion graphics wizard Ed Vosper as well to add in some nice simple text animations and a few little touches here and there. <br />
<br />
Few weeks in the office editing some other jobs now before Aspect is back off on the EWS circus. Flat out and loving it at the moment.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Now while getting yet another cover might not be a huge deal for some photographers, for me I'm quietly proud of this one. I have had shots in various magazines for years, loads of articles etc but a cover shot of a big printed magazine has eluded me, that is until now.<br />
<br />
A few months back Boris from <a href="http://mtbrider.de/">MTB Rider Germany</a> said that while I was shooting for an article for the mag with <a href="http://www.dmrbikes.com/">Olly Wilkins</a>, if we got a good cover worthy shot he would put it forward for consideration.
Me and Olly pretty much heard that and from then on all we really had in our minds was "lets kill it on one shot and we have been promised a cover pretty much!?" haha<br />
<br />

So bit of back ground on the spot...<br />
<br />
The jump is hidden away in the Surrey hills in the SE of England. Built by Bernard Kerr among a few others its been in various photo and video shoots for a while now, but Olly had an idea that if he hit the main jumps take off, onto a side bank and make it a hip he could get some pretty wild shapes. He wanted the final shot to have him pretty much hanging off the side of the bike, hanny style. That was the only plan, turn up, have a go and see what happened.<br />

<br />
So the three shots here ( above and either side ) where the first angle we started shooting. Tried a few lens's from the 24-105, 50mm and 70-200 , tried natural light and some off camera flash.<br />
<br />
Flash's where to cameras right pointing at the bottom tube of the bike, and down behind the lip. <br />
<br />
It looked good but lacked that pop and real striking cover worthiness. <br />
<br />After that first angle being a bit normal, I broke out the fish eye and started to try that out. Again using the same flash set up to help pick Olly out of the back ground and to give it some contrast. <br />
<br />

On the left is the first try with the 15mm 2.8 Canon Fisheye, Good but I needed to move round to the left more so we got his face in, and also closer to the jump so he was higher.<br />
<br />
On the right is the second go, much more like it and Ollys position on the bike was what we had been trying to get, I just needed to tweak exposure and nail the composition. <br />
<br />
<br />
Third time Olly hit the jump with the fish eye on and this is what we got. Finally the image we both had in our head when we turned up an hour earlier. What was also really great on the final cover is how they didn't butcher the shot, they left it very much as it was.<br />

Last week one of my oldest mates, and fellow MTB film maker Aaron Bartlett of <a href="http://www.creativeconcept.tv/">Creative concept</a> and Life on Wheels fame got hitched.<br />
<br />
I have known them both for years, got pissed for the first time at one of Viks house partys and crashed bikes into trees down the woods with "mono" every weekend from the ages of 13-16.<br />
<br />
All the sentimental stuff aside they picked a hell of a place to get married. <a href="http://www.polhawnfort.com/">Polhawn fort </a>down on the south Cornish coast in the UK and they even got dry weather which in February is a miracle in itself. <br />
<br />
I put up the image below on <a href="http://instagram.com/p/zCw9kPoHPQ/?modal=true">social media </a>the days after the wedding and it got a fair bit of positive comments from Photographers and fans alike, and after someone suggested I do a blog post on how I took the shot I thought why not. <br />

In the first shot myself and another friend/photographer <a href="http://www.duncanphilpott.com/">Duncan Phillpot</a> saw the rocks and pools leading out to the sea and knew we had to get some shots on them. Dunc was shooting all naturally lit stuff so I thought I would get the flash out and try some kill to retain some detail in the sky.<br />
<br />
Bit of dodging and burning to bring out the detail in the sky and the subjects but other than that nothing to wild. <br />
<br />
Gear was listed above and settings where:<br />
ISO 200, F8, 1/200th with fill flash on full zoom, about 1/8th power and about 5 feet out of shot cameras right, held by Duncan at about head height. <br />
<br />

In this shot much the same as the last one in terms of ideas and set up but the camera settings for this where: ISO200 , F4, 1/200th with flash again just out of shot to the right but this time wider zoom and higher power, about 1/4. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The last shot for this blog post and again very much the same as the last ones in terms of ideas, exactly the same as the last shot settings wise. I did how ever drop in a sky from another images shot about half hour after this one was taken as we where coming off the beach when some sun broke though slightly. I feel having the darker sky helps keep the eye on the subjects and not up in the bright sky.<br />

New video out today, sadly Rowan re broke his leg yesterday and is using
this video as a chance to give young riders the chance to have his
bikes on loan to race on for the whole season. If you can post this up
on your sites it would be much appreciated. Please find all info, images
to post with the video etc below:<br />
<br />

<div>
Press release: </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This film was shot just
a month after Rowan had come out of an external fixator cage for a
bad multiple fracture of the right leg and ankle known as a 'pilon'
fracture sustained when overshooting a jump. As you can see from the
video, he was still finding his speed but was comfortable on the bike
and making a strong recovery. Unfortunately on Sunday we heard that
Rowan suffered a nasty compound fracture of the same leg, after an
innocuous low speed fall again at BikePark Wales. The leg fractured
higher up than previously and seemingly as a result of the hole that
was created in the shin to secure the previous cage; a weakness that
was unknown. A bad chain of events, that will result in more surgery
and a longer road to reach a true place of recovery. But one that
Rowan will no doubt face head on and be back on 2 wheels when the
time is right.<br />

When we spoke to Rowan,
he wanted to share his thoughts and this opportunity with you:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
"Bikes have
brought me a lot of joy over the years, riding in places and with
people I would never have imagined. Along with that they have brought
me a fair share of pain; injuries can be hard to deal with but it is
the underlining passion for biking and travel which keeps me
motivated.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When I was younger, a
few people recognized that enthusiasm and talent and helped me out
and I'm always thankful of that support. It's something that I've
always wanted to be able to pass onto younger riders and something
that we have taken steps towards this year with our development team
at BikePark Wales. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
With an enforced lay
off riding my bikes I now have a unique opportunity to offer a couple
of young, passionate and talented riders the chance to ride more and
with a loan of some quality equipment thanks to my continued support
from personal sponsors Orange bikes and Mojo Suspension.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>I would much rather
see my bikes being ridden hard, than gathering dust in the shed!"</b></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This is an opportunity
for a couple of riders who perhaps have the passion and the talent
but only have a ratty old bike that's holding them back.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Think that's you? Then
make a short video (1 minute 30 seconds maximum) demonstrating what
you can do, and why you think you should get the ride and post it to
Rowan Sorrell's wall on Facebook.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
For practical reasons
only, there is a preference that the riders would either live in, or
be able to easily travel to, South Wales. Riders should be over 5ft
9" to suit the bikes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Bikes available:</div>
<ul>
<li>Orange 322 DH bike,
with fox suspension and shimano groupset.</li>
<li>Orange Alpine 160 with
fox suspension and shimano groupset.</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Closing date for
entries is the 27th Feb with the chosen riders announced on the 2nd
March 2015.</div>

progress in the sport. Details will be discussed with the chosen
individuals.<br />

There are still riders out there that no one has heard of, they've
never been in a video or photo shoot , don't do any MTB contests and yet still shred. For the first time here
are two riders from the South West of the UK, Tom Isted (Mongoose BMX
pro team rider) and Jasper Flashman ( FMX background )<br />

They have been busy the last few months down at my old local spot in Tavistock, Devon building some big jumps and making some stuff worthy of shooting.

This was a personal project. I said to them set aside a day over the Christmas break and we could shoot something just for the hell of it. Nice to shoot stuff with no client input or control, with people who just love riding and could use some exposure. An afternoons shooting and this little edit and few photos are the out come.<br />

I got the kind of call everyone wants to get a few weeks back. <a href="http://roostdh.com/">RoostDH</a> need a video making, do you have any free days this side of new years to come and shoot a new video for us, In Malaga, Spain.<br />
<br />
Needless to say I was pretty over the cold, wet, grey UK weather and so moved some things around and found 3 days to nip down, shoot and get home. No messing. <br />

The plan was to not really have a rock solid plan. We had a bit of a meeting the first morning over breakfast and listed what we wanted from the shoot and video, and the best spots to get it done. We then realized with only 2 and a half days shooting we where going to have to be picky.<br />
<br />
Long days from 7am - Dark, hard work from Joe, Mal and myself but we got it done.<br />

Flying to shoots is always good fun when you have this much gear, so I had to keep it light while not compromising on getting the shots we needed.<br />
<br />
Manfrotto tripod light enough to put in my suitcase, but sturdy enough to use with the Jib. The jib is a carbon<a href="http://www.ifootagegear.com/en/minicranem1/"> Ifootage</a> travel jib and is amazing. <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/877992-REG/Glidecam_HD2000_Stabilizer_System.html">Glidecam HD2000</a> as its the ideal one for the<a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1028453-REG/panasonic_dmc_gh4kbody_lumix_dmc_gh4_mirrorless_micro.html"> GH4 </a>and 5D3. And my carry on/camera bag the<a href="http://store.lowepro.com/rover-pro-35l-aw"> Lowepro Roverpro 35L</a> with some special custom camera compartment so it can fit everything in. The best bag for the kind of work I do I have found. <br />

All in all a busy and hectic, but very enjoyable few days shoot. it all went without a hitch, and I think the resulting video is a good watch and shows how good the riding out there is.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Mal and Ben from <a href="http://roostdh.com/">RoostDH</a> for killing it, Joe for riding faultlessly and the Spanish sun for letting me remember what summer feels like in the depths of December and only a few hours from my house in Bristol.<br />
