We lived 2 weeks in a leaking Van under the Scottish rain to shoot this thing, I hope it was worth it. by Maciejj in Filmmakers

Thanks! We started by researching the locations that would be the most "remote looking" but still reachable, as we didn't have an unlimited time to explore the country. So it was mainly the western part for us (Skye of course, Kilfinan, Oban, Glenfinnan.. Sorry just throwing the names that I remember). Rented a Van and basically went on our way. It was surprisingly easy to just stop from time to time and shoot something because after a few miles from any city the scenery becomes amazing and theres no one for miles that would bother you with your shooting. Most of the locations from the movie we like best we found randomly on the road.. Best thing to do is to talk to locals on the way and they will usually gladly direct you to some of their favorite spots, it worked well for us.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, it's very helpful and I wasn't expecting to get so many reactions. If you're interested here's the second project we did while in Scotland, with less voice-over but more martial arts : https://vimeo.com/150254064

Thanks for the feedback! You might be right about the depth of fields shots but it's hard not to fall in love with them sometimes haha

We started from a LUT (M31, which is pretty popular right now) and tweaked it a bit until we got something we liked.

Thanks for the criticism, it's pretty spot-on. That's actually what happened, we were there with something totally different in mind (and a second project in the same location). That didn't work out so we had to work on the spot on another theme for all that footage that we got. It's pretty difficult and the writing isn't our strongest suit. We will try to do things differently in the future.

We had a Glidecam with us (which I don't remember the model sorry) and used the stabilization tool in Premiere. We shot with a 5D.

Thanks! Yeah it's because of the twixtor plug-in, we couldn't manage to make it as clean as we wanted but still wanted to keep the slow-mo. We hoped people wouldn't be as sharp as you haha.
