FASHiON HEiR is a promotional company with a large experience in fashion photography and marketing. Here is a quick look behind the scenes from one of there many photo shoots.

So lately I’ve been meeting some awesome people doing great creative work around perth and have had the opportunity to work along side some cool people. Luo Qi from FASHiON HEiR is a talented fashion photographer from perth and puts together some great shoots with his team. Brodie Butler another great photographer and HDSLR enthusiast like myself. Brodie shot all the footage on his 5D MKII mostly with a glidecam 4000HD and then passed it on to me for the edit. I’m pretty happy with the results though I feel I could of tightened up some of the shots towards the end. As with most creative projects deadlines get the better of us. If I didn’t have several more edits to get done I would like to fine tune it all but I’m still really happy with it. It was a pretty cut and dry edit synced to music no post production apart from the colour grade, which just quietly I think looks great. Really enjoyed putting in the warm tone and feeling.

Curtin O Day Video from Luke Brooks on Vimeo.

This is a time-lapse video produced for Curtin University orientation week to illustrate many of the buildings around campus. I shot this over three weeks using a canon 7D & canon 450D.

Music used:
Adrian Lux, Teenage Crime (Original Mix)

Main Lenses used:
Canon 28mm f2.8 prime
Tokina 11-16mm f2.8

To get many of the moving shots I used a time-lapse slider system that I custom built (I’ll try and put more info on that later). The other moving shots were animated zooms and pans in post production.

When I get some more spare time I’ll put together a behind the scenes video and blog.

Dolly Test Shots from Luke Brooks on Vimeo.

Here is a test video using my DIY Dolly which I built for about $150. In the next few days I’ll try and put a build log together so you can make your own. Below are some quick pictures of the dolly.

7D 50p to 25p Slowmotion in Premiere from Luke Brooks on Vimeo.

Here is a short tutorial showing you how to use your 7D 50p footage and conform it to 25p in Premiere to get that nice slow motion look.

Coffee from Luke Brooks on Vimeo.

While testing out my new camera I put together this short film on making a coffee. Shot with a Canon 7D with a 18 – 135mm f3.5 lens and a 55-200mm lens was used just for the close up of the coffee pour. Edited quickly in premiere and rendered with out any colour grading. Enjoy.
