Fiji Vignettes
Vimeo’s Featured Videos is often the first place I’ll go when I’m looking for some kind of motion or video inspiration. Earlier in the week I came across this 3 part vignette by director Riley Blakeway of Taj Burrow while in Fiji. The footage is gorgeous, the location equally so, it doesn’t hurt that Riley had access to what I can only assume is a helicopter for some amazing shots.
“All of the surf vision was shot with the EX1.” says Blakeway, which is more than I was expecting from the Sony PMW-EX1. This was sorta the step before the Canon DSLRs came out and started trending, (5Ds and 7Ds mostly). The colour grading is perfect. The intros/outros were on super 8mm.
