Benjamin Moran & Julian Harris riding the flatland

Paul Chamberlain sent in this one in and a pretty sick description, so lets run with it.

“Old footage of Jules Harris and Ben Moran. It’s from Ballarat. Ben doesn’t ride anymore, but he is without a doubt the most interesting and unpredictable Australian rider ever. He’s done so many original and strange tricks in his time. In the years that I’ve known him he never did anything on his bike that he’d seen somebody else do. riding with him changed me a lot and made me realise that it’s always possible to do something differently to the next person. I have hope that he’ll ride again, but he was so hardcore that I know he can’t ride like he did and have a normal life. His life is coming together now and I’m really happy for him. Never take things for granted and appreciate the people that love you. Take your missus out for dinner one night instead of stressing on your turbines. One love!”

Matthias Dandois – From 10 to 90 seconds : Sony FS 700 Slow Motion test

From 10 to 90 seconds : Sony FS 700 Slow Motion test with Matthias Dandois from Hadrien Picard on Vimeo.

This is beautiful. Hadrien Picard explains all…

“I know, hundreds of slow motion videos have been already made. Even a couple of days ago, i swore i would never do “one more” slow mo vid, i used to tell that i’d use it with care.
But… i couldn’t resist!
After waiting for 4 months, i finally received the Sony FS 700. Since the main project for what i’d need it had been delayed, i had nothing planned, but i was excited to make some SL tests at 240fps.
So with Matthias Dandois, during a rainy afternoon in Paris, we had fun testing the camera & filming a line from different angles. We were amazed by the result.
Like the shallow DOF, it’s a trend that is going to be overused, but you have to admit that even a simple or casual thing looks amazing in slow motion : by showing us what the human eye can not see, even a guy walking in the street looks like a gladiator!”
