Hello this is Jerrit Pruyn from Fstoppers with…. you guessed it, another Wednesday Rundown. While Patrick and Lee are out in Colorado filming another Fstoppers Original, I figured I’d feature some of the best videos sent in by our readers. This week we have a little salsa dancing going on and even some muscle cars burning out. Big thanks to the people at Wonderful Machine and the videos they rounded up online. Keep sending in your video links to contactfstoppers@gmail.com and maybe next week you will find yourself on Fstoppers! Drop me some comments if you like what you see and remember to tell your friends to start filming all their photoshoots so I can post them.

Rudy Archuleta is a commercial photographer probably best known for his portraits of musicians and rockstars. His portfolio is a who’s who of popular culture and his images quite interesting to deconstruct.

Pixelcatcher demonstrates an easy method for capturing dramatic explosions as objects are struck at high velocities.

Many of you have already seen this but if you haven’t you should check it out. Zacuto (the company that makes add-ons for DSLR video) has put together the most extensive video quality test I have ever seen. You can check out this weeks video at http://www.zacuto.com/shootout . Below is just a trailer since the full video is not able to be embedded any longer

This is the is what Fstoppers is all about. National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore has created a book that will feature portraits of endangered species. To go along with his book he created a quick video promo. This video is the behind the scenes of that promo. View the full post to see the extraordinary finished product.

Watch Gary Jones direct his team as they film a short television ad for Backyard Burgers. Click the post to view the behind the scenes commentary.

Lars Franzen shows us how to take amazing pictures outside with only small battery powered strobes. If you want to see more of Lars’ amazing photography check out his site at: www.larsfranzen.com

Corey Lack shows us a simple food shoot in time lapse. Hopefully you have already eaten!

Mick Gleissner has been featured in Elle, Maxim, Seaster, and Photo Magazine with his surreal underwater fashion images. This is one of the coolest videos I’ve personally watched and hope you guys enjoy it as well. Maybe our own Fstoppers writer Lee Morris can take a note or two out of MG’s book of tricks.

Chase Jarvis films some skateboarders for an investment company! Check out all the newest tools for filming HD video off your DSLR and that spare RED One camera collecting dust in your closet :)

Alexx Henry raises the bar again with his latest magazine motion cover for release with the Apple ipad. It is not standard practice for Fstoppers to highlight two videos back to back but this was too good to pass up. Click the post to see how this was created and shot.

Howdy this is Jerrit again with another Wednesday Rundown. With such a great weekend spent in central park I cannot wait to get through this week. This week we have a photo shoot that proves you do not need to be a good skateboarder to get some wicked boarding shots. We also have a shoot with football great Colt McCoy. Keep sending in behind the scene shoots that you find . contactfstoppers@gmail.com

Here’s a clever idea: Create a campaign without showing the product… Watch this quick video of my good friend Caesar Lima doing his thing and then read all about this interesting marketing idea and the technical side of this shoot in the full post.

Most photographers think outside the box. Alexx Henry starts outside the box and then crams it all back into the box. If there is one video to watch this week, this Outside Magazine cover shoot might be it!

Nathaniel Welch has shot with Joe Perry, Sarah Palin, Chuck Liddell, Terrell Owens, Myth Busters, Guinness Beer, Brad Pitt, ESPN, Ricky Gervais, and Snoop Dogg….just to name a few!
