Anyone asking themselves whether or not they should get into video should look at Corey Rich’s videos “
WHY” and “
HOW of WHY”. Corey is a filmmaker/photographer as well as a teacher.
Yes, these videos were made to promote and sell the Nikon D4, but for the interested filmmaker they go far beyond that. “WHY” follows three world class athletes: Dane Jackson, kayaker; Rebecca Rusch, mountain biker and Alex Honnold, rock climber and shows some of the amazing things they do in their sport.
“HOW of WHY” shows the behind the scenes of how many of these shots were made. It used to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment and support team to capture some of the shots in "WHY." Now many difficult shots can be produced for a lot less. But, the viewer will begin to understand that it is not just the camera alone that makes this possible. Additional equipment and techniques are often necessary. And producing an effective video of this type is definitely a team effort.
Be sure to look at “WHY” first before you view “HOW of WHY.” For more detailed information on the production of these two films and the Nikon D4, check out Cory’s
