A Little Bristol Film

[@NO-fh8wm]

You know you never appreciate this place until you realise how beautiful it is from far - literally and figuratively.

[@tarkilldudegaming2296]

Wow, truly awesome video! Almost looks like we're looking at a miniature model of Bristol, I don't know if that's what you were going for.

[@nimjethwa7755]

+Tarkilldude Gaming Thank you! Yep that was the aim, some shots worked better than other!

[@hectorleach-clay2271]

The couple at 3:35 are me and my girlfriend! Really honoured to have made it in. Fantastic film!

[@nimbo85]

+Hector Leach-Clay Haha amazing that you spotted yourselves! I think the people next to me when I was filming thought I was a bit creepy for filming you guys! (It is a bit creepy but was worth it!)

[@alexbeardsworth3783]

I LOVE IT! Bristol the biggest village in the country !

[@nimbo85]

[@nathanboyd6283]

As a proud Bristolian I think you captured some brilliant bits of our city. Thank you!

[@vvaly99]

Nathan Boyd Could you say what exactly makes you proud?

[@nathanboyd6283]

My mum told me not to talk to strangers

[@nimbo85]

Nathan Boyd Thanks Nathan!!

[@vvaly99]

Nathan Boyd I assumed you're a grown up who doesn't see strangers as a threat.

[@nathanboyd6283]

Oh do be quiet.

[@Reallyenjoytheride]

Fantastic!! Just missing Clifton suspension bridge!

[@nimbo85]

+Axel Ripoll I did try but it was under maintenance and looked a little sad.

[@jilk22]

So lovely to see this getting some much positive attention. Thanks everyone - especially you Nim.

[@nimbo85]

jilk22 An absolute pleasure, am gonna have to come and watch you guys play live, let me know when you're next gig is!

[@AminataYKanu]

[@Rorymizen]

WOAH! You're scared of heights and did this!! Even more respect!! This video has struck me so much I have been thinking about it quite a bit over the last couple days!! Such good work :)

Well done on this, it has a strange miniature model feel about it.

[@nimbo85]

Sweeet, that's what I was after! Thanks!

[@guffylewis]

Great job Nim, very clever. Has the effect of the best model village ever....

[@nimbo85]

Thank you Tony! :)

Justin Smythe Appreciate the comment Justin!

[@grimtactix25]

WOW fantastic shots . Looks like some sort of crazy macro tilt shift thing going on ! Very nice indeed

[@grimtactix25]

+Grim Tactix I'm interested to know if the blurring is in PP or with a tilt shift or something ?

[@nimbo85]

+Grim Tactix Hey sorry for the delay getting back to you. Thanks on the kind words too. It was all done in post!

[@sarribel]

how awesome, been to bristol, what a beautiful city

[@DavidDownieacrobat]

Great Film! Brilliant Idea. Approach Bristol tourist people with it. D

[@nimbo85]

David Downie Thank you David! Much appreciated!

[@vanesaborges203]

[@amandadixon7980]

Wonderful little film.

[@nimbo85]

Thank you Amanda!

[@vickysp1729]

So charming. Thank-you.

[@nimbo85]

Vicky SP I appreciate the kind words! Thank you!

[@zpider242]

I miss being there

[@artisticbrit]

Fantastic bit of filming this. Lovely to see Bristol in all its glory after so many years away from home.

[@nimbo85]

Andrew Jones Really glad you liked it Andrew, thanks for the comment

[@artisticbrit]

Excellently done. Slider, time lapse and pull focus effect? What roughly were your time-lapse settings? Perfect lens too.

[@nimbo85]

Andrew Jones 4 frames a second for some parts and then video for other parts with a changed frame rate and sped up.

[@artisticbrit]

Wonderfully done. Loved the sound effects too. Your channel could really grow quite big with this little gem.

[@artisticbrit]

+nim_video all you would need to do is release one of these every month or so and be known for this kind of work. You'll be pulling in a nice little Google paycheck before long.

[@ambientdweller]

Mesmerizing!!

[@nimbo85]

Ambient Dweller Wow! Thank you!

[@nimbo85]

***** Not gonna lie, I had to 'Google' Camberwick Green, it looks wicked!

[@nimbo85]

nim_video and Thank you!

[@linnaamanda8685]

This is so good❤

[@plum4338]

[@Earthfallable]

Great video. Well done

[@nimbo85]

+Earthfall Thank You!

[@hamishgoodrich2091]

Amazing!

[@nimbo85]

Hamish Goodrich Early comment award for you Hamo. Much appreciated!

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there, we've been enjoying watching this. What a charming little film. We film 4k walks in cities, and have just filmed Bristol, so it's especially lovely to see someone doing something similar but from a this quirky viewpoint, thank you for taking the time to add it. Perhaps we could subscribe to each other and share more?

[@patrickrule7278]

Great video i'm looking to do an animated short with similar shots to this in my city I was just wondering how did you achieve the elevation for the shots? Did you ask for access to high rise buildings? drones? open top car parks?

[@GiuliaBlocal]

I love it! One thing, though: Bristol isn't so sunny! :-P Anyway, your video is amazing, I will share it on my blog :)

[@nimbo85]

Aw! Thanks Giulia! Not so sunny this year, but it was when I made this last year! :) Thanks for the comment, have a great day. x

[@MrDaiseymay]

ssshush--don't frighten the tourists

[@jimmyjames1508]

loved this, so pretty x

[@nimbo85]

Nice one Jimmy Lad!

[@splinteredstudios]

beautiful film, what cam was it shot on? .... loved the Upfest & Harbour side Festival bits.

[@nimbo85]

***** Thank You, I think the Harbourside Fest bits are my fave too. Panasonic GH4 :)

[@splinteredstudios]

nim_video I love all the people looking like little ants!

[@nimbo85]

mg733 Not me! My first attempt! (and last probably)

[@tarkilldudegaming2296]

+Splintered Studios - The Art Of Stephen Quick They almost look like clay models to me.

[@wilks9]

Great bit of work! would love to know how long the edit has taken

[@nimbo85]

Edit took me about a month but kinda edited as I went along, thanks for the kind words!

[@haluter]

Awesome, thanks for sharing! :)

[@nimbo85]

Riaan Jutte Cheers Riaan thanks for the comment.

[@MarkJonesBristolAudio]

Very nice indeed. In Post, what apps were used?

[@hannahsmith7388]

Loved watching this film, it is so beautifully constructed! I am interested in filmmaking myself and so it was inspiring to watch this. What's the name of the track you have used? :)

[@nimbo85]

+HANNAH SMITH Thanks! The track was made for this film by Jilk. You can here a sexier version of it here: soundcloud.com/projectmooncircle/jilk-nim-on-bbc-6-music

[@robd6011]

Very cool!

[@robosklegs]

Super cool

[@nimbo85]

That's cool guys! Thanks x

[@YzerProductions]

this is awesome dude

[@nimbo85]

thanks man!

[@lustreboy]

ah good vibes :)

[@dylanbenn6361]

Masterful piece of engineering. How did you achieve the miniaturisation, a shift tilt lens or some clever post processing?

[@nimbo85]

Thank you Thank you! Miniature effect was created in post, but required filming with the right conditions/planning to optimise it!

[@nimbo85]

@D.I.Y Geek It won't let me respond to you but thank you, and thanks for sharing it on your twitter too!

[@karmastar06]

tilt shift delectation

[@airjaff]

How did you make it look like a little world? Depth of field, colour grading?

[@nimbo85]

airjaff Yep all those things, plus high contrast, high perspective, sun direction and time - lapse.

[@trauermusik]

Love it!

[@nimbo85]

thank you! Love your 'all apologies' cover! x

[@trauermusik]

Oh! Thanks!!! :) So kind of you ^^ I will move to Bristol soon so it made me so happy to see your video. Keep up the hard work! You are so talented.

[@SarahML1000]

I love the video .. as some others have said - it looks like a model of Bristol. I love the speed of the video too. What kind of camera do you use?

[@alejandroalsina7932]

I love it!! :P

[@nimbo85]

+Alex Bristol Cheers bro!

[@EATPICTURES]

Lovely job Can't believe how many vantage points you found/borrowed Did you shoot stills using a timelapse system? Or video and adjust frame rates in post? Works a treat either way

[@nimbo85]

Eat Pictures Hi! Thanks for the comment! I did a bit of both to see if there was a visible difference so the edit is a bit of a mish mash of techniques!

[@kristieharris8522]

Very good but you missed out the most important part. clifton village and the suspension bridge......not bristol without them!

[@nimbo85]

Kristie Harris Cheers Kristie, I did do the suspension bridge but it didn't look so great because of the maintenance that was being done! Would have loved to have done clifton village but it wasn't too easy getting good vantage points. Appreciate your comment! x

[@dantheman81811]

Well I thought it was great film and superbly shot, not sure why you think Clifton village is the most important part of Bristol?!

[@nimbo85]

dantheman81811 Thanks for the comment Dan, you are THE man.

[@crooklyndodger12]

what jilk tune is this? cheers

[@nimbo85]

crooklyndodger12 This is a track that Jilk will be developing for their new EP

[@NoMnOmJeSs16]

is the miniature town look done by the lens you used? or was it all done in post?

[@nimbo85]

+Jess Bickford Hey Jess, the right shooting conditions firstly (sun position, vantage point etc), and then everything else done in post :)

[@watermelonclarkie6762]

Cmon Bristol xx

[@SwedishTourist]

WOW :D

[@tompoole007]

looks great big. Android chromecast to 46in Tv :)

[@nimbo85]

Tom Poole Good work! I'm yet to see it on a big screen!

[@Guywithcrazyideas]

Is this actually real?

[@nimbo85]

Guywithcrazyideas Yes real!

[@fmcgarry9449]

Where is that place at 4.36 please?

[@nimbo85]

+fran mcgarry Do you mean the last shot??

[@danhall4837]

What camera do you use ?

[@nimbo85]

I use a panasonic gh4 :) Thanks for the view!

Nice one! Would you like to have a look of a hyper lapse video I made for Bristol?
