Return to Siberia

After spending time with in the cities during my first visit to Siberia, this time I visited the local Khanty people, indigenous people of the Ugra region of Siberia, located very far away from the cities accessible only via sled.

This is a short film taken from a half hour that included some of this material.

All but two shots are done with the EX3 clean, using a Canon 20x HD lens.

Filmed for Russian Hour’s Ugra Time.

Letus Ultimate used for 2 shots.

Hi Philip,

At me is to steam of questions:
I would like to get HD camcoder, and I wish to ask you on what will better stop Sony EX3 or Canon XLH1s?

And I wished to ask that you think about RED ONE ?
thanks!

Hi Philip,

Excellent stuff.

what frame rate did you use for the shots behind the guy on the snowmobile?

Or was that smooth cam and slo-mo ?

Many thanks.

nice film, but the small film you have running in the top right of the web page is killing the frame rates (2 -3 frames a second) and ruining the subtlety of the main presentation – well for me anyway. Don’t know if this is effecting other viewing this page??

Would love to see it all running smoothly!

Superb! Phil, you started a new genre in cinematography: E-motion picture art,
where – emotions, Internet, music and the “science” of photography – all blend together!
