The Lyall Sessions – Kitesurfing Lyall Bay

The Lyall Sessions from Mark Gee on Vimeo.

The Lyall Sessions was a bit of an experiment using the video mode of a consumer grade still camera set up on a rig attached to the kite-surfing kite. The result, while not broadcast quality, was quite nice considering what it was shot with. I spent a lot of time trying to give it a film like look through color grading the footage

The rig I used to attach the camera to the kite is from camrig.com. The camera was a Pentax Optio W30 which is part of the waterproof range of the Pentax Optio digital cameras. I shot the entire film with this camera, including the time laspe shots.
