oookay... I am officially confused... The reel looks good and all but...

What's this "camel" that everyone is talking about. I've gone through it shot by shot in slow mo and I can not find any camel. Or is it a codename that I've missed? is the slow moving helicopter dropping paper called a camel in some military jargon? Like the Sopwith Camel biplane? or someone smoking Camel cigs? Or is it that there's another reel linked to in this thread that I've missed when I looked through all the pages in search of the origin of this mention of the camel-shot.

This is what I can make out (time is mm:ss):

00:14-00:47 - Gamer
00:47-00:53 - Guy hit in head & Welding
00:53-01:00 - MC's, Beach, guy shadowboxing
01:00-01:23 - D9
01:23-01:33 - Unknown bankrobbery
01:33-01:40 - Chopper (D9?)
01:40-02:04 - Guy running in alley?, slow-mo MC, martial arts in forest, Guns a blazing, Parkour?, Naomi Watts?
02:04-02:28 - Gamer
02:28-02:49 - People walking through warehouse, famous actor speaking, Exploding street chaos (reigns!)
02:49-03:13 - Book of Eli (lots o dessert, but no camel or high up shot)
03:13-03:22 - a bit more of Gamer then back to Book of Eli
03:22-End - Helicopter (D9?), gamer-splotions, headsplatt

again... lots of good stuff, but no camels?

It's after the head splat, after the screen goes black.

Are you closing the video after it goes black?

Maybe it was cut out of the reel? The reel I have is 280MB and the one in the server now is 180MB.

ah, that explains it. in the one I downloaded head goes splatt, quick cut of greenday, red-logo, fadeout, end-stop.

Seems a bit weird though that the one part everyone is raving about is removed, along with all the credits... Is there something we should know about this?

EDIT:
By the way... a singlehumped camel... isn't it more precise to call it a dromedary? ;)

we had to remove the camel shot from the web video at the request of the producers, I believe they are in the middle of distribution negotiations. Beautiful shot though :)

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

The shot of Naomi Watts walking toward camera in the white suit is very distracting to me because the couple behind her are in focus and she is slightly out of (or on the edge of) focus. I looked at it like 10 times to be sure it wasn't just my eyes, but she definitely looks soft compared to the others in frame. I'm sure it was chosen because she is a major star, and it's a powerful shot walking toward camera like that, but it just seemed like an odd compromise on a reel showing off the cameras exceptional image capabilities i.e. to leave an imperfect image in the cut.

My 0.02

Yeah, that killed it for me. Blame the AC?

However, the next shot where she appears is great.

I can't tell the difference between camels and dromedaries.

Just saying camel to every animal that looks like it sounds easier. :)

Most excellent!

[Gabriele Turchi]

any chances to get this reel in a better quality compression like ProRes to show it to the clients on a big screen ?

Or maybe : are you guys already be able to export and distribute this as RedCode ? :)

thanks
