had to be you.

Was sure it was you!!

Close the theme, we're done!

Great!

Thanks to all who commented and rated this, quick feature, quickest ever for me!!

Yes, folks, as some of you know, this is an image from a professional shoot that I was one of several photographers/cinematographers participating in. This is from a promotional shoot for NBC's drama series "Trauma", a show about paramedics. This is, of course, a very collaborative work, very large crew and professional actors, pryo technicians making the big booms and flames, etc...

During the post production of these Promo's I treated thousands of frames of motion video using batch mode in Photoshop so I could get this "look" across the different shots. This look was a multi-layered stack with a couple of different Nik plugin's applied in a action. That action was run on the whole image sequence in batch mode, 24 frames per second.

Again, thanks!!

Beamer, thanks for the explanation, but I am still a little unclear - is this a frame from a video, or a shot from an SLR? Curious to hear more about how you achieved the look too.
Thanks!

Yeah, cinematic for sure! Cool. Perfect.

@Craig, answer is both...DSLR in video mode...

NBC has for some time now been using a variety of Digital cameras to acquire footage and still photography for promotional piece. We haven't shot film for a good while now. We used to shoot all this stuff on 35mm motion picture film and the telecine the film negative to get to video.

We have been using among others:
Canon 5D, Nikon D90 (mine), Red, Phantom HD...

Holy dang!

Lol, I think this is cheating, not because it was a professional shoot but because it's just too damn good!

I knew I should have shot something 'cinematic' during the G20 when Toronto had plenty of burning police cars and fleeing cops I could have used as a backdrop ;)

25.
For us Australians that play, WS works like this...
Wake up on Friday morning, turn on the computer, check the new theme and be amazed by the quality of the first few features.
This is outstanding. Sets the bar for the week.

Wow! This is fabulous! I thought Yoda won, but now I think the oscar goes to you :)

wwwooooww... shocked at the first sight.. this is amazing

Great shot. Not so great show.

Excellent feature and thanks for allowing us "behind the scenes" ;)

Wow fantastic photograph, tell us how did you do this?

@Kettelarij, I was sitting on a small wooden box called an apple box, shooting in HD video mode there was a bigger camera on a big crane arm moving in the same area. We had about 6 cameras rolling and shooting stills on this big effects shot. The actors continued to run forward till past the cameras.

Beamer...was your camera on a tripod? Did you have a cushion between your butt and the apple box? Was this shot before or after lunch? Does the blond look hot when not in uniform?

@ King, no, no, don't remember & definitely remember!

I am a big fan of this series! Stelar work, Clyde.

I'm not a fan of the LAPD or California Highway Patrol. However its hard to pass up on a driving HWY 1 , 395, 14, 120, 54, and others.
I just do it during their Doughnut brake.

Thanks Beamer. it just an image, nothing special , just arms distance and click. just to say here's wings. :) not trying to be FRANCESCO SCAVULLO with my mug shot:))))))))
