Santa Monica Sunrise - Canon 5D Mark II Sample Movie

[GMSamuelRhine]

way to make me hate my photography, and nikon =P

[phfx]

@GMSamuelRhine Ah. No worries. There's an upgrade on the horizon for you Nikonites :)

How do you do that thing with the part with the playground rings?

[phfx]

@JerseyShore117 It's called "rack focus". Check out "follow focus" in Google and you'll learn a ton about how to do that.

How do you do that thing with the rings?

[JerseyShore117]

How do you put videos together like this? Like a slideshow?

[phfx]

@JerseyShore117 This was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. There are many non linear editing programs out there though. I prefer Premiere Pro.

[JerseyShore117]

@phfx Yeah thanks. I already figured it out

[tuckerjeffrey]

This is a great video made with your Canon. I am exploring my options as I really want a DSLR that can shoot HD video as well as still images. This was great quality. Thanks so much. What lens did you use and what program did you use to do your editing? Thanks again.

[phfx]

This is ages old now, but I believe the lenses used were Canon 50mm f/1.2L, 200mm f/2.8L, 35mm f/1.4L, and there a shot in there with the Sigma 14mm f/2.8. I edited this in Adobe Premier Pro

[tuckerjeffrey]

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. Your video you made was really cool. Thanks so much for your help.

[dmana3172]

I like to see all this 100% exactly like in Hollywood movie. Will this camera do it?

[heteibako]

Half length double intrest

[mitekphoto]

Wow. After I watched this video, I instantly saw what kind of creative possibilities are opened by dSLR video. I never used this function on my 5D Mark II, but now I will make a point of creating a few clips... this video really inspired me.

I think that adding of video function is the best thing that happened to dSLR world since its beginning.

[wondnaereh]

What beautiful footage. I am so surprised how nice even the night stuff looked. Can you tell me how long can you continuously shoot with that camera? Does it limit or is that dependent on the size of your memory card. What does it cost and is it hard to get that critical focus in manual mode when filming moving subjects?

[sopoliz]

brilliant! well done...bravo.

[phfx]

Thanks!

[xSTANDINGSTRONGx]

do you have a website where you keep your photos as well?

[andyizfilming]

Love it! It's nice how you can get away with filming people with a DSLR... If I did the same thing with my DVX100B, someone would probably notice and get all mad...

[phfx]

Well I told the driver I was shooting him :)

[dozztown]

3:12 very nice :D

[only4sweitch]

does this camera let you manually control the exposure and gain when shooting video? like does it have exposure lock?

[phfx]

At the time I recorded this video it was not a manually controllable camera, but it did have exposure lock, which is how I shot this.

However, the manual firmware has been released and you can control shutter, iso, and aperture manually.

This quality is really unbelievable. I just bought a new hd-camcorder but the quality is not far so good as one can seen here. Also the night shots are so brilliant. Congratulations to this camera, wow!

[MPTutor]

Hardly likely to be. As well as the 5D being a superb camera, you have the facility to use extremely expensive lenses on it that you probably don't have on your camcorder. With a decent L series lens added to this camera, you're talking about a £3,000+ video camera!

Superb video and very well filmed PHFX, excellent :)

[Hempbeheaded]

Amazing. Had to watch it in hd right after I finished the low res version. Being a movietube jr user on a hvx200, I really see the advantages of this camera.

Cheers & thanks

[thechilla]

excellent vid! 5*s!

just 1 question, what is the name of the song/tune?..

cheers!

[phfx]

Thanks!

The song is called "Last Night in L.A." which is off my first album DIN which is available for free on my website.

[thechilla]

Excellent! Thanks for your reply!

I can imagine this song in a movie like Snatch or Lock Stock (gotta see them if you havnt already!)

Brilliant website by the way!

[arroyogravel]

Nicely done! I will have to consider the 5D as my next Canon camera, thanks to your excellent talents as a film maker.

[fotoxcore]

hows the 24 f/1.4 L is it really good?

[GodsReflex]

I just wanna start off by saying, Congrats.

What a fantastic video and what a powerful camera the new 5D is.

What lenses did you use for your filming and also what programs did you use for editing?

Hope to see more in the future.

take care

[phfx]

Thanks. I used Adobe Premiere CS4 to edit the video. The lenses used were:

Canon 200mm f/2.8L

Canon 85mm f/1.2L

Canon 50mm f/1.2L

Canon 24mm f/1.2L

Sigam 14mm f/2.8

[sutors]

24mm 1.2 ?

[phfx]

Oops. Sorry 24 f/1.4L

[miike111]
