Now this is a story all about how they pulled the Reno’s tender down to the shop one day and started taking it apart. And then they found stuff!
This was shot by Justin, one of the V&T’s newest employees. Much thanks to him for providing the video and asking Tom all those questions!
We’ll open this for everyone this time — remember, normally we release videos for VIP Patrons first, then after a delay we release it to all Patrons.
Then, because of the Great Western Steam Up, we’ll try to bring you a surprise, but might not post for a couple of weeks. We’ll see what’s possible out there in the field at the Steam Up.
A few technical details, this was shot on a iPhone 12 mini but for some reason a lot of the footage was really washed out, perhaps because the camera was being pointed at the sun. I tried different LUTs to fix this, in the end I like this effect from the DJI DLOG to Rec.709 LUT. Yes the pavement is blown out in the second scene, but we’ll live. It really brings out the colors in the metal parts later in the video.
