Outward Bound Canada aimed at producing a video that would show the impact their trips had on kids and thank the sponsor of those kids.

It was great news when Canon came out with the plug-in for Final Cut Pro to enable the use of the “log and transfer” window for Canon DSLR footage. Disappointingly, Rebel T2i (550D) users seem to be left out – until Nathan Beaman (Thanks!) came out with the fix.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me since it seem to require snow leopard.
Now, I have successfully updated to snow leopard while still running Final Cut Studio 2 including all its updates to Final Cut 6.0.6. What happened? It crashed every time I opened the log and transfer window. A complete reinstall even with the help of Digital Rebellion’s remover software didn’t improve anything, especially not my nerves.
The rule ‘Never change a running system’ comes to mind and I was dreading the impending rollback attempt with Time Machine.
Thanks to my buddy Brent I found that I neglected to check for system updates: 1.08 GB later snow leopard was updated and the log and transfer is working again.
The second step: Pay attention to the details! After installing the Canon E1 plugin I used TextWrangler as recommended by the Bui brothers to change the camera.plist file. Again, no luck. The devil is in the details: If it says
Now, it works. Go try for yourself and enjoy the workflow.

Banff Mountain Film Festival: Radical Reels from Michael Klekamp on Vimeo.
Produced for ClimbingMojo, we are working on a ‘behind the scenes’ video for the Banff Mountain Film Festival – here’s a first taste what makes the rad reels rad – find it out! Featuring Will Gadd and Timmy O’Neill interviewing the ‘Mountain Idol’ finalists and the winner.
Shot on the Panasonic AG-HMC150 – I am impressed by the wide angle and the low light capabilities – the gain at 12dB is way better than for example on the Canon XH A1.

Will Gadd opens up a new rock climbing route on Mt Yamnuska (Alberta, Canada). This is a 3:40 min excerpt out of the original 14 min. Editing the video was fun, shooting was even better. You’re ways off the deck here, enjoy!
Does anyone have another project of this sort for me? My adrenaline levels have been a little low lately.
To make this video eligible for certain film festivals, I can’t show it here, unfortunately. I’ll be putting up a trailer soon as well as a list of festivals where you can catch it!
Barry lost his vision in a workplace accident 12 years ago. Now, he’s enjoying life to the fullest. Ever seen a blind man driving a car, rock climbing or white water rafting?
This is an excerpt from a longer documentary by Calbright Ventures Inc out of Calgary, Alberta.
As the cameraoperator and editor, it was a special treat to have the Banff Centre’s Audio and Sound Department create the original score and do the mix.
