Venice's People: Canon 7D 24p

[DeeMz90]

in terms of video quality, the one on vimeo looks way better than this one on youtube. lol

[crysisbestgame]

I have scoured the internet for a blues cover of "Dust My Broom" but nothing, NOTHING lives up to the cover in the video. Pure excellence. As is the filming.

[DonBurroni]

best Dolla I ever spent, KICK ASS bloom

[wellingtonbosharpe]

Philip- how do you keep your nerve as a documentary filmmaker when for instance a crazy guy comes toward you flipping his middle finger?

[philipbloom]

@wellingtonbosharpe sure!

[MotorcycleBoiReigns]

did you use an external mic for this or the 7d mic?

[ThePixelAddict]

You are a documentary genius! A definate fave...keep em coming!!!

[akadragon08]

Which Rode Video Mic did you use, stereo or mono?

Great vid!

[idleminds1]

jingle bells jingle bells help me get drunk help me get drunk.. wtf

[ChokDK]

One of the very best "private" films I've ever seen.

Showing in it's own way what people do to without any money to use really (or that's how I saw it anyway).

D7 is my favourit "next camera" right now, even I don't have the money for it until maybe a year from now.

This is a good way to use it really..

Thank you for sharing. 5* to u :)

the quality of this vid is very poor, comparing to the same one you posted on vimeo, regardless of Magic Bullet grade. But still, good job man! I got a 7D for myself and i'm in heaven.

[Murkelrabe]

Great video! Professional and with a very good "in-depth" motive eye.

Simply great!

[etiennelaine]

Hi excellent video mate, what mic do you use?

[senik343]

This is a superb video. Buying a 7d as soon as i sell a kidney

[Neo33009]

LOL

[Rhaabjorn]

me to! hahah

[burkotenko]

in what format this video 720p or 1080p ?

[BrandedChannels]

Philip,

Do you ever use the EX-3 these days?

[newmediaformat]

*****

[ScottRoseVideo]

This is a true rival to the Sony PMW-EX3

[BrandedChannels]

I second that, Scott. I am thinking of buying an EX-3, but the development in DSLRs and Sony´s slow response to that makes my wonder off to the 7D...

[Joppesan]

Very nice, Philip. Very nice. This is, up until now the best you've made. It's a beautiful story. (love the angel walk by on the beach)

Best regards

Jeppe

i just had a quick question for you

how long did it take you to upload this to youtube

i tried uploading one clip from my 7D that was about a minute and a half long and over 600 MB and it said it would take 5 hours

i thought that was ridiculous

it would be great if you could get back to me

and very nice video

ive been at venice 2 or more days a week ever since the new skatepark opened

[philipbloom]

dont upload native clips. you need to compress them. this is 5.30 minutes and is 250mb

[rizatiwana]

@xander7d When encoding to some compress format the best i've witnessed so far is .mp4 using H.264 Encoder. That will reduce the file size while maintaining the quality to best. If you use Adobe Creative Suite then there's an app named Adobe Media Encoder. It has some built -in presets to compress video for youtube and vimeo. I hope this further helps you out with you question.

You never cease to amaze me.

I lived in Santa Monica for a short time, and I thought Venice was a total cesspool. Your video, however, reaches the humanity underlying that rancid sh*t-hole, and presents it in a much more forgiving light.

Perhaps an earthquake along the San Andreas is NOT the best remedy, as I've always believed. Perhaps mental health care and lessons in personal hygiene would suffice....

Nah.

But your video is excellent nonetheless.

Thanks for posting it.
