Gymkhana 3.2 shot on RED MX

[Mike McEntire]

Here is the latest in the Gymkhana series. Insane driving by Ken Block once again.

It was shot on Red MX, HPX 170, Canon 5D MarkII, Canon 7D, and Go Pro. The POV was Canon and Go Pro. The main driving shots were about 80 percent Red MX and 20 percent HPX 170. It is pretty easy to see the difference even at the low res youtube version that is linked. There were two trips to the location. Since DC did not see any reason to list the crew on the credits here are the players.

This was a beast to film due to on and off storms and a very short window to work with. Also most of the segment was filmed on Trip 2 with minimal support and minimal sleep.
Hope you enjoy,
Mike

Wow they credited the "stunt" Segway rider but not the camera ops/crew. Anyways, great job it's a sweet video those DC Gymkhanas are are always fun to watch.

Ken Block is a badass. I'm jealous you got to work on this. I love these Gymkhana videos.

I've been excited since the first one came out, I really have to say i couldn't wipe the smile off my face for close to 20 min after watching it yesterday. Since you wernt using a phantom on this shoot did you guys have any ideas of slowing footage down in post with say Twixtor? Im gonna be producing a show promo in Oct and Able doesn't have cert classes for phantom available till Dec it seems. So im wondering what kind of speed ramps you could get out of 120fps footage from a red one using twixtor and not even bothering with a phantom.

Hell yeah Mike. Intense as usual. Love the intro.

Well Gymkhana 2 had some phantom shots and this was meant to be more hardcore driving. I have used twixtor on some slo mo red stuff and it looks great. Long renders but fantastic results.

Thanks Sean. If it wasn't for you guys we would not be getting these shots so thanks to the Red Team for all the support.
Best,

Mike, I love your work on these gymkhana vids. I think its so cool that you're here on reduser too. I'm assuming you shot at 2k to get higher fps? The twixtor on slowmo shots definitely turned out well.
