Weird Stuff: A Walk Through High Park in Full Spectrum Overdrive
Kyle Clements
I was thinking about how weird IBIS stabilization looks on ultra wide angle lenses.
I was also thinking about how weird electronic digital stabilization applied in post can look.
This got me thinking: How can I use the two together to maximum effect?
I had the idea to go for a walk through the park. I would start with a slow pace, holding the camera nice and steady and increasing my speed throughout the walk so by the end I would be in full powerwalk mode.
The mix of low-light noise, hot pixels, and distant moving lights can mess with the stabilization when things get rough, causing the image to jump erratically.
To cover up the wonderful sound of my congested breathing, I thought I would go with something very shoegazy with loads of overdrive.
I was thinking about how pitch correction software mirrors stabilization software in how it can take some of the sloppiness out of real life and enforce some corrections, but these corrections can also be affected and confused by the harmonics introduced by loads of overdrive which will cause the pitch to jump and snap around in stark, abrupt ways - especially if you enforce a new key.
Recorded on a Full spectrum converted Nikon Z5 with a 7Artisans 7.5mm /2.8 Fisheye lens.
The Z5 introduces a 1.7X crop in 4K video, and the video stabilization effect introduced another 20-30% crop of the image.
Saturation was increased by about 70%, and I gave a slight lift to the gamma.
Background noise created in FLStudio 11, making ample use of Izotope Trash 2.
