House Productions

This is Benantonio with House Productions, reporting this month’s creations. Recently, Mark Hensley and I traveled to coffee by design to shoot a pilot for a potential second season of the Revision Energy Road Trip.

Portland’s coolest, award-winning neighborhood coffee shop is now home to a fleet of glistening, new solar panels, capable of generating 10 Kilowatts of energy  per day. That’s enough energy to power two full-sized, modern homes. The new project is creating a ton of solar-buzz on the East End, and we were  there to capture all of the action.

We haven’t signed off on the full season yet, however, we hope that the pilot episode will kick off a seven-part series that will take us through the summer. Revision Energy just published the video as part of their monthly newsletter. To read more about solar power, check out http://www.revisionenergy.com/solar-road-tour.php

And, as always, stay tuned to House Productions for more updates.

I did a quick video and post over at www.MaineFilmmaking.com that shows how effective the Warp Stabilizer effect is in AE CS5.5

It features footage I shot from a helicopter of Portland harbor this past fall. I shot it with a Cannon 5D Mark2 and a 17-40mm lens. Overall I was very happy with my camera and lens decision. The helicopter was able to fly low enough to the ground for the an effective use of the almost fisheye full frame 17mm lens.

One issue I did have with the footage was a constant vibration from the operation of the helicopter. The vibration is not something that can be easily stabilized by hand. However the black box design of the Warp Stabilizer was able to easily correct this vibration along with any rolling shutter issues with the footage.
