I echo others’ sentiments on the tone mapping. In the Creative’s defense however, it ain’t nearly as bad as others’ attempts at it (tone mapping, not hdr). I personally thought the raw footage was 80% there already, and all that was needed to fill the remaining 20% was a bit tweaking in post.

Still, a very nicely pulled off project. I liked the soundtrack as well.

This is truly stunning and brings a whole new concept to video… Having worked with HDR I can appreciate the work that went into this and can only thank you for making something this footage.. The music finishes it off beautifully…
If you ever need someone to carry you cameras I’ll be there :-)

Thank you

Where can I find the tutorials he mentioned in the bts-video? “Lokicreativity.com” doesn´t work?

Clearly talented film maker and a great location. Such a shame about the HDR, its killed the project, this could have been great.

I notice the link takes you to his store. The sliders seem interesting, has anyone here in the US bought one from him where they are manufactured in Poland, I would be concerned about warranty repairs on an electronic/automated slider from there.

I kind of like the HDR, but maybe not the entire movie.

Incredible camera work and I’m sure a lot of work! But again, the HDR destroys it all. It looks like a computer animation and takes all the charm and mystic out of the chapel. Hope to see the movie without HDR one time. Very cool making-of though!

Patryk – really nice BTS. I think the location selection was phenomenal. The old, crumbling building with the beams of light, oh, pure bliss to watch. As most mentioned above, the HDR gives it a true “game like” look. Still, very nice idea.

The HDR effect is destroying these beautiful images.
Personally, I think HDR should be used fill missing information. Not to remove all contrast in an image.
I’m working in Cg lighting for ten years now and this is exactly the look we don’t want to achieve.
