excellent video mate! such a shame this building will eventually be no more. i have the 550D and can only sing its praises!!

[hauhi01]

whats the lens your using?

[StevenASweeney]

Nice video. How did you minimize or keep the video from doing the "D3100 quaking wobble" on the pans?

[MechaTeapot]

@StevenASweeney You can attach a rubber band to the handle, and pull the rubber band. The rubber absorbs the shock and stops wobbling. watch?v=Fj6fMcJ18aA

Nice video, well put together, i'm in manchester tmrw will av to check this place out

[Explorator55]

Wow! It is a beautiful place

[rmmcclay]

Great video, Lawrence! Really shows what the D3100 is capable of. It seems like most of it was shot using manual focus with a tripod. Is that right? Also, did you slow any of the footage down in Premiere? Were you using the 18-55 kit lens? This video convinced me even more about getting this camera. Thanks!

[nerdishcouk]

@rmmcclay thanks! it was all using Manual focus and shot on a video tripod. All footage was with the kit lens and not slowed down, just at normal pace.

To be honest, if i knew about this cameras exposure issues (camera auto-exposes) i would have got the Canon 550D.

[rmmcclay]

@nerdishcouk Whoa! That's a shock. This is the first complaint I've heard about auto-exposure. Now I'm confused. Spent the last two weeks going through everything I could find on the D3100 and was sold.  But now this. =( I have Nikon glass, and don't like converters. Plus as a father of two, budget is restrained; but since my old Sony video cam (tape) started having recording issues I decided to go digital. I'm probably still going for this camera. But I'll look into the 550D.

[nerdishcouk]

@rmmcclay i just wish i could manually expose in manual mode - its a shame its not fully manual, but i was in the same boat, had Nikon glass and couldn't afford the D7000 (which has manual exposure) as i have two small ones of my own.

Only reason I mentioned the 550D is my friend has one, and it is fully manual.

I believe the 5D MkII was auto at one point, but updated firmware to it could be used in manual, just hope Nikon do something similar.

great ! would be nice to know how to use these adobe premiere and sony vegas type programs :D

[MrGeeklover]

sony vegas looks like shit against Adobe Premiere Pro.

[nerdishcouk]

@MrGeeklover It is, i have always used Vegas, this was my first attempt with Premiere, only CS3 though, can't afford the CS5 version.

[jamaic1aboy2]

Very good video, i know the place well! like these guys have said you should make more of these.

[chessdude67]

your friend,

Nice vid, Lawrence. Could see this as a location for a NW pyscho film - beautiful architecture on this building.
