“Through the Eyes of Brian Gaberman”

Here’s a short video of my favorite skate photog Brian Gaberman shooting some wet plates of his family. He’s got a rad little darkroom shed and a nice garden. Check out his work… it’s very inspiring.

In Focus: Video Editing Basics

Post-Production via Adobe Lightroom

In my opinion, this is the best episode of in focus thus far. Click play for a few Adobe Lightroom post-production techniques from Skateboard photographer Jonathan Mehring.

In Focus: Slow Motion With Russell Houghten

Russell Houghten takes us through some detailed methods of getting a smooth slow motion shot. First he shoots the same scene with four different cameras and compares their abilities to slow the motion (LOL at the VX glitching). He then takes us into After Effects and describes, very graphically, the coveted ramped slow-mo technique.

In Focus: Filming Lines At Night

Manzoori goes through pretty much every option you have for on-camera lighting and breaks them down with examples. He even goes into the post-adjustments he makes to compensate for the grain incurred when shooting at higher ISO’s. All-in-all, an extremely advantageous episode.
