13.1 Marathon and the Canon 7D

13.1 Miami Beach Marathon / Canon 7D from Richard Patterson on Vimeo.


My alarm clock jumped started my day at 5 AM for the 13.1 Miami Beach Marathon. My client was looking for a video that highlighted the overall course and the cultural sights along the route and at the finish line. For mobility and ease I loaded my Lowepro Stealth AW II Backpack with my 7D and a variety of lenses and mounted my bike. I used three Fader ND Filters to give me the option to shoot wide open. The race weaved the runners from Miami Beach too Miami and back by one of the main causeways located in the city.

I edited the piece on FinalCut and created the music myself.

Magic Bullet was used to grade the final video.

Off to the races... Cheers.
