Before and After Wednesdays #19 – TRA’s plus video

Totally Rad Actions for editing video from your 5D Mark II?

So I recently shot skateboarder Austin Lycans. While doing so, I grabbed little bits of video on my 5D Mark II. I got to thinking. I wonder if I could use my TRA’s on the video?

So when I got home, I just dragged the straight from the camera movie file into Photoshop CS3. It showed up just like a picture! I then applied my actions to them :)

I ended up almost only using warm it up chris at 100% and get faded winter at about 30% – with pool party at about 30% for some of the clips. It was literally as easy (and faster) than doing so on my 21MP files from the 5DMKII.

And here’s a quick preview! I LOVE my TRA’s about 1000 freaking times more now!

Seriously, I’m so much more psyched about video now!!! If you have a 5D Mark II and have been needing one more excuse to get the Totally Rad Actions, this is it.

As always, if you guys are getting anything out of these, spread the love (http://bobbyearle.blogspot.com/search/label/Before%20and%20After%20Wednesdays) through FB, your blog, or Twitter. And be sure to let me know here with a comment. That’s the best way for me to know I should keep these up :)

Bobby

*UPDATE*
I forgot to say how I exported the image. I go File > Export > Render Video :)

Kyle - That's AWESOME! WE have been experimenting with video so that's a great trick to know!September 30, 2009 - 2:50 am

Ruby Yeo - awesome!!! I definitely love it more now! Thanks for sharing :)September 30, 2009 - 2:53 am

Thanks!September 30, 2009 - 4:41 am

Mike Richards - So I sold my Mark II a few months back and now, I MISS IT!!! By the way, good song!!!September 30, 2009 - 6:14 am

James - AWESOME!!September 30, 2009 - 8:28 am

jolynnephotography - i just did my first vid with my Mark II...had no idea that I could TRA.

Annie - I'd love to know how you saved the file! What a great idea!!!September 30, 2009 - 8:44 am

Kisha of Sahara Blue - for my upgrade i've been debating between the Mark II and the nikon d700 (i'm a nikon shooter but not heavily invested). I've been on the fence and leaning slightly to the d700 because I figured 'I'm not gonna use video that much...i'll save a few bucks..." but after seeing your video..i'm seriously confused now! LOVE the video quality. LOVE the application of TRA...September 30, 2009 - 8:45 am

chris - Wondering the same thing as Anonymous up there, how do you save the file?September 30, 2009 - 8:46 am

Char Baiz - that's so awesome... and it just puts another reason on my super long list of how I can justify the 5dm2 to myself.September 30, 2009 - 9:05 am

benj haisch - bummer. doesn't work for me. I just keep getting this -> http://twitpic.com/jqccrSeptember 30, 2009 - 9:24 am

Jamie Lapeyrolerie - Nice!!!September 30, 2009 - 9:44 am

Jonathan Danforth - Thanks for this! I had no idea that my $700 software could edit video!

I found this website that has a tutorial for opening and editing video in CS3 Extended and CS4 Extended.

http://www.creativepro.com/article/easy-video-editing-photoshop-yes-photoshopSeptember 30, 2009 - 9:53 am

Carson - So does it require CS Extended then? Is that what you have Bobby?September 30, 2009 - 10:24 am

Hailee - I shoot Nikon, so I can't do this with videos, but I really appreciate the TRA recipe to get this look. Thanks!September 30, 2009 - 10:35 am

Courtney Dellafiora - Bobby, you are a freakin genius! I have always wanted to do this but had no idea I could do it just as simple as that! BAD ASS DUDE!!! Thank you!!September 30, 2009 - 11:57 am

alex.kruk - Love the video !September 30, 2009 - 11:59 am

aubry - my camera comes in a week and i'm now going crazy with excitement about this new feature. yea, keep up the "how to's" on editing video - you rockSeptember 30, 2009 - 12:28 pm

Michael Nease - You amaze & inspire, Mr. Earle! How did you end up exporting the video?September 30, 2009 - 12:30 pm

Corissa - wow!! thats awesome! thanks for the tip!September 30, 2009 - 12:31 pm

Tonya Doughty - are you freaking kidding me?? I had no idea you could open video in PS and apply actions. guess you can teach an old dog new tricks (me, not you!) thanks for sharing!September 30, 2009 - 4:56 pm

Trista - It looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing the TRA tricks. Ima gunna tweet this.September 30, 2009 - 6:35 pm

Mikeks81 - Great tip bobby!! what song is this!September 30, 2009 - 7:13 pm

Caroline Ghetes - Awesome!! Can I ask what video editing software you used to edit your Mark II video clips? I have been researching but still have no clue what to use! Thanks!!September 30, 2009 - 8:28 pm

Tim - Thx for the post..!!!Video was awesome.October 1, 2009 - 5:39 am

Anonymous - Awww! The video won't play for me! Do you have it somewhere else (FB perhaps?) so maybe I could try that? Thanks!!October 1, 2009 - 7:30 am

Kyle - How did you save it? I tried but I can't save it as an avi???October 1, 2009 - 12:41 pm

Bobby Earle - I just exported it as a .mov file (720p). I wish I knew more!October 1, 2009 - 1:05 pm

Becka @Studio222 Photography - I was just asking Nate if we could do that and he wasn't sure. I'm excited to explore now. :)October 2, 2009 - 6:56 am

Mikeks81 - just tried this and ended up with an 18 gb clip that was only a minute long o.OOctober 5, 2009 - 8:35 pm

Mike Richards - Bobby, I just tried this with a MOV file from my 7D and PS says it doesn't recognize the file type...hmmm, wonder if that will change?October 8, 2009 - 10:25 am

Jolynne - Wedding Photography Girl - PS is telling me it doesn't recognize the file type.

is this because I have CS4? hmmmm...anyone know what to do here?December 6, 2009 - 12:26 am

Sorgius Studios - Ah Ha! I just figured out why I couldn't get this to work. It seems like not ALL actions can be used, only those that are adjustment layers. For example, if I used Sparta, the rendered video would only show the first frame and play the audio. When only adjustment layers are used, it works fine!January 30, 2010 - 1:58 pm

Hotel Del Wedding Photos – fun stuff

So for Yulia and Barry’s Hotel Del Wedding, we had Dylan come along and shoot with us. It was a BLAST! He’s such a fun guy and a great photographer :)

I figured I’d post some behind the scenes photos…


We took the dress to this alley way where the plumbing was. I liked the end result :)


While shooting the bride’s shoes, Dylan made fun of my socks by shooting this :P


Dylan letting me test the area on him and Lindsay and I… I’m not sure what we’re doing. I think we were about to breakdance fight.


Here’s my TOTALLY stealing Dylan’s idea to hang the shoes here. Don’t tell anyone…


I chimp (photography term for checking the back of your camera) WAY more than a photographer probably should. Luckily I have no shame and don’t care if other photographers make fun of me for it :P Dylan hardly ever does it! I decided I’d show me chimping but make his ONE photo of him doing it the big one. That way it looks like he does it more than me :)


The firecracker.


Me catching one of Dylan…


… Him catching me immediately after :)


Note to self, don’t stare off for even a second at a wedding. You can look like you aren’t paying attention.


Changing lenses never looked so good.” Lindsay said since she shot it she got to caption it :)


The couple session after the wedding…


I love doing the hold the camera in front of you shots. Too much, probably.


The insanely talented and totally fun Emily Smiley!!! We love this girl :D

And finally, here’s my shots of why Dylan is a TERRIBLE second shooter…

…totally kidding, of course :) Dylan’s kind of the man.

And if you can’t tell, we really love shooting weddings!

San Diego Wedding Photographer – Skateboarding

I’m a wedding photographer. Sure. But I’ll always be a skateboarder. It’s what I am. More than anything else I do. More than a guitarist or piano player. More than a jiu-jitsu guy. More than a genius (come on, I had to throw that in there :P). Even more than a photographer.

I rarely get to skateboard, but it’s never left me. When I walk up stairs I count them. I check out the hand rail. How tall it is. How steep. I see ledges everywhere. I still dream about the days when I’d skate MACBA in Barcelona, Stalin Square in Prague, Bercy in Paris, or even the old hospital ledge in Escondido. I hardly skate, but it’s still there.

I had a blast going out and shooting something I truly love. Skateboarding. Austin Lycans is a killer. The kid has insane skateboarding talent. Not to mention, his style is ridiculous. His board sponsor needs some photos for their catalog so he called me up. Here’s what we got…


He’s not just grinding the box – he’s gapping out past the sidewalk onto the street. Pretty sure Austin had to strap on his gnar boots for this one…

I love shooting weddings, people, and landscapes all over the world. I really do. But getting back to my roots and being around skateboarding is just so relaxing.

—————————————-

My friend, Nick, out in the UK has helped me a ton with SEO recently. Just wanted to say thanks! Do me a favor and check out his blog and leave a comment! He’s a rad guy and I know he would really appreciate it :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Stephanie Lyell - Bobby,
I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your work. I found your site through the Blu Domain blog. I am a photographer myself, just graduated with a degree in photojournalism from Ohio University. I am always looking for inspiration, and I found some here. Great job!

Where are you located by the way, I couln't find it on the site.September 28, 2009 - 9:39 am

Look who crawled into bed…

So we’ve been sleeping on the couch the last couple weeks. This way we can help with Trouble potty training through the night — something he refuses to learn (unlike Remmy who peed in the house ONE time EVER! We were so spoiled with her :)…

Last night, we slept in our bed! It was amazing. The two pups slept outside — which is so cute because Trouble either goes in his (way too big for him at this point) dogloo or goes and cuddles right next to Remmy in her dogloo.

He doesn’t start crying for someone until about 6am – when he’s hungry. So Lindsay got him his food this morning. On the way in, she must not have shut the door all the way. I woke up to Remmy in our bed at our feet and Trouble — who’s too small to jump on the bed at this point — was right next to me, just on the ground :) I picked him up and here’s where he layed down…

Now he’s on the other side of Lindsay (kind of in her arms — it’s really cute :) and they’re both still sleeping. I love having two dogs.

Hope you all have a rad weekend!

Bobby

Ava Grace Photography - Dog cuddles first thing in the morning are the best! Our border collie has to be cuddled first thing in the morning before she goes outside to do business. If we don't, she refuses to step outside.September 25, 2009 - 9:57 am

Kyle - Adorable. You're making me want another dog!!!September 26, 2009 - 1:23 am

Cat Hoffman - I have 2 dogs and a cat. I only let the smaller of the two dogs (about 45 lb mutt) in the bed at night to sleep, but by morning our boxer (about 85 lb) has somehow squeezed his way into the dead space by our feet in the morning, and the cat has stopped being nocturnal and usually laid down next to one of the dogs on the bed too. It's the cutest thing to wake up to that site.September 27, 2009 - 1:33 pm

Hotel Del Coronado Wedding Pictures – Full Post

So there’s another story behind this one.

Last year was HECTIC for us. Too much. I shot just under 20 weddings and could hardly handle it. I know there are photographers who shoot 50+ weddings a year – but I just can’t do that and still enjoy life or be a good husband. So this year I decided to take it much easier. I chose to have my last wedding be Michelle and Kevin’s Shangri-la Fijian wedding in Fiji. That was in June.

The next thing on the agenda is the Raddest Photo Trip Ever which I’m taking 12 photographers on the trip of a lifetime to Thailand and Cambodia. That’s in December.

Well I started to get a little bored. Not too bored. I just sort of getting the itch to shoot a wedding or two this last month. I got an email from Emily Smiley a couple weeks ago saying one of her brides wanted me to shoot her wedding. I’ve wanted to work with Emily for a while now – and I’ve not shot a wedding at the Hotel Del – so I said “sure thing!

Glad I did.

Yulia and Barry probably had my favorite ceremony of all time. Yulia and her entire family are from Russia. I’ve been intrigued with Russia for ages now – so I loved that I’d be surrounded by Russians :) To add to that, there was a wonderful, traditional Jewish ceremony. I can’t express how much I love the tradition there. If I had to shoot one type of wedding for the rest of my life, it’d be a Jewish ceremony comprised of Americans and Russians. Hands down.

Anyways, on to the photos… But first, a HUGE thanks to Dylan Mayer for second shooting with us!

The insanely talented Karen Tran did such an incredible job on all the flowers…

At this point, the Rabbi would say a certain blessing, and they each circled the other three times.


Her turn.


His turn.


They then did a short dance. I just LOVE all these traditions.


Beautiful.


I love this one. Mom and Aunt checking out the ring immediately after the ceremony :)


Something about this one sticks out for me.

Emily Smiley seriously takes care of business. Want proof? Here ya’ go…


Practicing the first dance before the guests enter.


The real first dance.


Dancing with dad.


If time permits, I like to get my favorite 25-50 images from the day, loop them on my slideshow, and let everyone have a peak as the night goes on. I love when I get to see the bride’s reaction :)


Here’s Emily giving the bride and groom some advice on cake cutting :)


My favorite image from the night. The Bride’s father (Russian) speaking with the Groom’s mother (American) through a relative of the Groom’s. As this was happening, the Groom’s mom said “your daughter loves you so much…” His reaction to the translation was simply to kiss her hand.


And what’s a wedding without partying down?!

All in all, this was such a great day. Feel free to leave a comment on what you think of the photos!
