->> It's an Islamic Community Center.
Nobody called the building it will replace "The Ground Zero Burlington Coat Factory." |

->> Well done. The shallow depth of field tempered the visual distractions while the music tempo kept everything moving at a good pace and kept the city noises from competing.
I would love to hear Bob talk about the experience, the lens choice, and how many people he had to interview to get this interesting mix. Great job on a very touchy subject. |

Quick answer is D3s, 105mm at f2.0
That required either ND filters outdoors (as Bert has done on his), or a high shutter (like 1/1000 sec). The debate was whether the high shutter would affect the video (normally you don't want to go over 1/60th), but with not much movement in the talking heads, I could see no real problem shooting fast in tests we did, so I chose to use the faster shutter and no ND filters.
Audio was a shotgun on a boom just out of camera view (through a Beachtek). I interviewed about 25 random people at Ground Zero, tourists and workers in the area. It took all day, as most passers by didn't want to comment on camera. Not to mention getting kicked out of the park I was in by "security" and fighting off the skateboarders who decided to use my background as a skate park:)
Leslie's edit made it work. |

->> I think Travis meant was referring to it as the "ground zero mosque" is not accurate, and somewhat fans the proverbial flames.
The video piece was nicely done. |

->> There is differing thoughts on achieving the trendy shallow DOF look.
Talking to several video shooter friends of mine, they have said ND filters is the way to do this. The two "Voices" projects I've shot for the paper that's what I've done.
But as Bob points out, his use of high shutter speed seems to look fine. If it works, it works.

->> A high shutter speed can give you the "Gladiator" or "Saving Private Ryan" D-Day beach scene look and feel. Which is okay
of that what your looking for.
I use a Vari-ND filter by Singh Ray to shoot at F2.8 or F4 @1/50 or 1/60 outdoors at anytime of day at 24p. |
