Anybody need any establishing shots? - Southern Europe
- Thread starter gebo
- Start date
Pine forest (early morning) foggy would be great
Will everything be shot on sticks or will you use a dolly?
Are you charging for the shots, or do you want a credit?

I'm not charging anything as I will only be shooting nearby and I do it for fun. A credit would be nice but not necessary.
I'm thinking of using a tripod.
Also just remember these are mediterranean pines not the "nordic" ones.
If you could get some (Pan left/right) (Pan from sky to forest then lock for a minute) that would be great!
Also feel free to be creative!

Flamingos! I know they're not indigenous, but hey, you might live near a sanctuary or something...

Sorry, I know there are places here when you can see them time to time but not in my area. The closest place may be the zoo...

If you fancied a trip to the zoo I'd refund you all your travel expenses and give you a 2nd unit credit
(Getting a little desperate now...

Seriously ? You couldn't find some stock footage of flamingos ?
(if you're willing to pay him the travel, might as well buy the license for the footage...)
Obviously I've looked in plenty of places, but high quality footage of flamingos (that wasn't shot on a handicam at the zoo) costs several hundred pounds. Mainly, I guess, cos stock footage from Africa is more expensive than stock footage of a car, or something.
The zoo is still 130km from where I live...
About stock footage I found this for $49.99

Doesn't look bad.

pfff isn't it cheaper to go to the nearest zoo?
Then you can film from the angle you want and you can film a bit longer.
Ow btw if anyone want some pure Dutch farmland, especially eastern Holland. I'll be your man

Personally, I think those flamingos look terrible!
I would just go to the nearest zoo, but a.) I'm not a cinematographer, so I'd have to hire someone in and that'd be quite expensive, b.) I'm not going to be able to get away from uni for the next couple of months to do it.
Was just a thought! THanks for the replies guys

I ended up going in another direction, away from the sea and the forest and I didn't take the tripod...
Anyway if you find any of these shots interesting I can send you the ungraded version. But it's all handheld, so stabilization is needed.
I will be better prepared next time and post the results here.

Over 10 years ago I saw a flock of them at the Dutch coast!
But that part of the sea is land now (Maasvlakte 2), so I guess they moved on
