The above video was part of the presentation during the Nikon D800
introduction in Bangkok. A short portion of it (at the 0:18 mark) was
taken from the time-lapse the
"The Mountain" (see the 2:10 mark)
which was shot with a Canon 5D MarkII by Terje Sorgjerd. Oops. Here are some videos shot with "real" Nikon cameras.
The above video was shot with a Nikon D700... yes D700:
More than one year ago, Nikon didn't have any good
solution for full HD video, but I really wanted to use all the great
lenses to shoot a music video, so I "forced" this video out of D700,
creating more than 3000 single pictures that were lit with SB 800 and
900 other sources for light painting and later edited into moving
pictures. Lens used were, 12-24, 24-70, and 50mm 1.4 and ... so a pure
Nikon D700 video job
Next video "Compressed 03" was shot with a Nikon D90 by
Kim Pimmel:
Compressed 03 continues my interest in telling stories
through analog visual effects - everything in the film was made with
physical materials and tools in my studio. By using frame by frame stop
motion and time lapse techniques, fluid dynamics and magnetism are
transformed into majestic explosions and seething storms.
Sounds best on headphones, and looks best fullscreen!

I find analog things appealing - whether it's vinyl or photographic
film, there's a certain richness and magic that's difficult to replicate
with digital means. The Compressed series showcases analog visual
effect techniques, so everything in the films is made by hand, with
physical materials and tools in my studio. For each of the Compressed
films I try to develop and master a set of analog techniques with which I
can craft a narrative.
For the effects in Compressed 03, I was drawn to the dynamic
interactions between liquids. I spent about a month playing mad
scientist to see what gave the most interesting results. I raided the
kitchen for common stuff like milk, oil, and molasses. I stopped at the
drug store and buy random things such as witch hazel, nail polish, and
bubble blowing mix. I ordered exotic stuff like ferrofluid online. Some
liquids repelled each other, some caused coagulation, and some created
intricate patterns.
I settled on ferrofluid as my primary liquid, since it yielded some
nice interactions with other liquids and could be manipulated using
magnetism. All of the black or brown seen in the film is ferrofluid -
needless to say it was a very messy few months!
The whole film is shot with a Nikon D90 DSLR, frame by frame, and
animated using stop motion and time lapse techniques. This allowed me to
control the effects by manipulating various parameters by hand - for
example I could blow air onto the scene with a straw to adjust flow
direction, or add liquid outside the shot to accelerate an effect. I
also hacked a flatbed scanner so I could control it from my computer -
and by physically connecting the scanner carriage to other equipment I
could adjust parameters of the scene very precisely.
To control the camera for the frame by frame animation, I used a custom timer that I had built for a previous project.
Except for the opening title sequence, everything was shot with a
macro lens. While the scale of the scenes in the film may seem grand,
they actually range from the size of a post-it, to the size of a playing
card. To work at that small scale I used syringes to dispense minuscule
amounts of liquids, as well as a whole assortment of tiny magnets to
control the ferrofluid. As anyone who has worked with macro can tell
you, it's a pain to work with, but it opened up a whole world of visual
opportunities for the project.
Once shooting was wrapped, I edited the film with Premiere, while concurrently writing the soundtrack in Ableton Live.
Since I'm kept pretty busy during the day designing software for
Adobe, the film was made during my evenings and weekends over the span
of about 4 months.
The next two videos were shot by
Bruce Brown with a Nikon D7000:
