Venice in a Day: Article and Interview


Das Echo auf das Zeitraffer-Video «Venezia in un giorno» war überwältigend. Bis heute wurde das Video auf Vimeo mehr als 360’000mal angeschaut und hat 4000 Herzchen erhalten. In dieser Woche sind im Web auch zwei Artikel über mich und meine Arbeitsweise erschienen, auf Smokingdesigners.com und Filippos Blog.
Venezia in un giorno / Venice in a Day
Done and online. Venice in a Day, in 3 Minutes. From dawn in the morning at the Rialto bridge to the sunset above the Piazza San Marco, and some travels up and down the Gran Canale. Please watch this time-lapse video in HD.
Test Video
The Moiré Shootout: Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 7D vs. Panasonic GH2 from Joerg Niggli on Vimeo.
A little comparison I did recently of the three cameras. This test is mainly focused on sharpness and moire. Both Canons had a Cinestyle profile loaded. This makes the images soft. But that's what you have to do in order to have as little moire as possible with Canon DSLR's (even with the new 5D Mark III as seen in other videos). I did only some contrast correction in post.
The Pana GH2 was on 24P Cinema mode (Daylight pref), nothing hacked.
After that test I bought myself a Panasonic GH2. For wide shots the GH2 is just looking much sharper and this almost without moire.
You can download a mp4 file in 1080p on Vimeo (compressed at 12 MB/s) to watch it on a big screen.

Ein Nachmittag in Birmingham, England.

«Top of Zurich », so heisst es auf Neu-Zürideutsch. Ältere Semester kennen die Erhebung aus der letzten Eiszeit auch als Üetliberg. Unbestritten ist: er bietet eine schöne Rundumsicht., auch nachts.
