ROMAN HOLIDAY // I THINK IT’S HER

Over the past month or so I’ve been working on a personal project with my friends in Roman Holiday. After a long summer of weddings and portraits it was nice to have another creative outlet and the opportunity to use my 5D Mark II to its full potential. Give it a watch and leave some love.


Big thanks to Mark for letting me borrow his Canon 7D for the slow motion clips.

    I have a pretty moderate laptop, nothing crazy, but a big screen and a decent graphics processor. But I was playing this in my dorm and all the kids that were here were raving about how clean and crisp it looks. Love to see local landmarks too. very nice!

    Looks good bro. Have you ever experimented with dropping the frames in After Effects? If you shoot at 30fps, After Effects has a quick and simple process for dropping it to 24fps giving it the film feel. Just a thought. But the whole thing looked awesome. Great job man. Hope to see more videos coming from you.

  7. Fantastic Ben!!! I just learned how to use FCP in school, now I can’t wait to create something! You did a great job.

    I love the first hit of the snare. Is that salt or sand or was it done in post processing? The whole thing is very well done.
