[Magic Hour]: The time of the day when the stars have aligned in some other time zone, but for that one hour, dawn or dusk, for a short time, everything is perfect. The wind has calmed, the sun gave way to perfect lighting, and the boat is loaded with weight, fuel and friends. There is no other feeling quite like carving across a cove of uncharted glass, launching off a double-up back lit by the sun or looking down at the water and seeing nothing but determination and pure bliss staring back at you. This is “Magic Hour” and this is what wakeboarding is all about.
As a sequel to their debut wake film, “A Single Day”, Remedy Films followed the events and progression of the Georgia and Alabama wake scenes, driven by Singleton Marine Group in the summer of 2011. The film was shot across 4 lakes and all of SMG’s local events.
Remedy used an array of equipment to shoot “Magic Hour”. Much of the over-cranked (slow-mo) shots were captured with the RED One and the Panasonic hpx-500. Also in our hands were multiple Canon 7d’s mounted up with Canon L and Zeiss glass, GoPro Hero HD’s and a Panasonic hpx-170. The Kessler Cineslider was used for any moving timelapses.

It’s awesome that people are putting out full length videos. Great riding all around. The quiality of this video was insane, but I don’t know if there was one shot in the whole video at real life speed. I know you have great cameras, but a live speed shot every now and then would be nice.

Sick video parts Alex!!! Reminded me of watching you ride boat for the first time at McCormick’s… I had no idea you were so pro at riding boat until then. This video really showcases your talent bro!

Thanks for the support guys! It was a fun summer for sure. Thanks for the comment “uhh” we always love some feedback (positive and negative). There was a good bit of full speed but not as much as usual because we were wanting to show off the slomo epicness of wakeboarding! Another section that was left out of this was pretty much all 24p.
We are excited for 2012!

Thanks so much! My favorite part was Alex’s HS9 at Magic Hour (30:15)… Im pretty sure its my favorite wakeboarding shot I’ve captured. The lens flare, water, dreads, backlight, etc… It was a good day!
