[CryingWindmillFP]

@prammaven Well isn't that something!

[CryingWindmillFP]

@prammaven Hmm, how do you see the video's speccs? That's a Youtube feature I'm not familiar with :P

I can see it looks slightly jittery, but if you put the HD setting on, it seems alot smoother.

[CryingWindmillFP]

@prammaven 15? No, it's 24fps. 15 would look terrible :S

[FlashOnProductions]

One other thing, what was the camera setting used for this? 24, 30 or 60? and 1080 or 720?

[CryingWindmillFP]

24p, 1080p, but downscaled to 720p for youtube (This was when the 1080p option didn't exist on youtube)

[FlashOnProductions]

Damn good job man, Its cool to see another kid such as myself enjoying this, ive been saving for this camera for months, check out my channel, my friend and i are just starting out, perhaps one day our paths will cross and we will all be famous producers :)

[noobzaebot]

I gotta give u 2 thumbs for great color correction. Are u a pro?

[CryingWindmillFP]

Me? No pro!

[johnnytastetest]

Wherever you're filming, the landscape and all the animals and insects in it look amazing. I especially liked the toad pushing against the flow of the water. Are you filming using one hand, though? I found a lot of the shots to be quite unsteady. If they had been, you had the best subjects to shoot.

[BOMBONLONGBOARDING]

how do you find the manual focus on the HV30? is it easy to use? like transitioning from one object to another? GREAT VID by the way!

[CryingWindmillFP]

Real easy, its a small wheel on the side of the lense. You just have to roll it in the right direction depending what you want to focus on.

[usheruff2]

Damn ur hometown is beautiful.

[diegomh]

some images are amazing but, you need to look out at editing I feel that images have to respond even more to such a emotional song! nice

[CryingWindmillFP]

Do you mean I need different images or to change the order of the images?

(This isn't a typical music video btw, its just a mixture of camera shots put together with music)

[theryaner]

the canon hv30 is a bad ass camera! If only it had the option to control the gain or have it removed completely...

[meelina101]

how long did it take you to make this?

[CryingWindmillFP]

Well I filmed some footage over the course of a day. captured the footage for an hour, edited for 30 mins and then rendered for about 2 hours.

[InsertSmileHere]

Might not mean a lot from a guy that knows fuck all about this stuff, but nice video Stef.

:D

It's Wagner btw

[marshalmathers]

wow the quality is great, but i noticed that you dont have overall control on the focus

but thanx for sharing anyway

[CryingWindmillFP]

Where did you spot that? I know thats the case for the first shot because the sun was too bright on the metal so it was really hard to get it clear.

But where else?

[marshalmathers]

on the spider and the car wheel but its not a big deal the video was great and because of your video im thinkin of gettin one for my self :D

[CryingWindmillFP]

Well I have the options of Auto-focus and Manual focus, I was using manual focus on both. And as I was moving, I wasnt changing the focus so thats why it out-focused a bit at parts.

And I guess my focus on the wheel was just me being un-aware :P

[gabriellakey]

I like it man- looks amazing

[Cycartha]

Very cool, Noxite!

[blendband]

Nice, cinemode?

[yapkleong]

[navmachine]

Nice color correction and timing with the music. Where is this place? It's gorgeous!

[JavaManEntertainment]

157 ahhhhhhhhhhh, nice work!

[CryingWindmillFP]

You're giving me your phone number? lol.

[JavaManEntertainment]

lol gay, 1:57 how close were u

[CryingWindmillFP]

Close enough that they were crawling over my shoe...

Nah kidding, I stood back and zoomed in. Some reason the focus turned out pretty bad...

[johnboy1uk]

Fabulous! Where was it shot? I must get my hands on that HV30

[RunnyInk]

Superb! I watched the vid and just had to watch it again. Great work.

[QuickNick]
