The Fu King Productions

Met the crazy, innovative and somehow mad filmmakers "The Fu King Productions" here on the Bremer Stadtmusikanten set. Watched their short "Glint" yesterday on their website. Cool made guys!

Content-Preserving Warps for 3D Video Stabilization

Nice to see new technologies coming up. Have a look at this really cool piece of software research by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. They refined 3D image stabilization techniques to nearly get dolly like camera movements out of handheld video. Of course there are several questions like what's about a heavy depth of field, very usual for production shot on film. Or what's about focus pulling.

Beside that technical aspect I really liked the unperfect effekt the deshaker produced on the harbour shot in their video. It was on the left side in the ocean, like a subtile warp in the water. But it was based on the camera movement, so it doesn't looked digitally for me. Imagine this imperfection as stylistic device. A new vertigo, born in the 2000s?

Actually on set for "Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten", produced by Bremedia. For director Dirk Regel and me it's our third project after making two twins movies before. And it's really awesome to work with DOP Philipp Timme again on our second project.
