Canon EOS Rebel T2i/550D - Short Video Essay - ballet students at UVU (Utah Valley University)

[JakeOlsProductions]

what slider were you using?

[milkchurn24]

Nice film, did you upscale from 720p to be able to shoot in 60fps? Just wondered as its 1080 now, and my 600D will only shoot 50 and 60 fps at 720.

[kookkevin]

nice work, idk why but my image quality is shit compaired to yours and were using the same camera :(

[bbllaakkee5460]

only checked this out to see the quality of the camera cause i just bought one but damn you make ballerinas look pretty good. didn't think i was goin to watch the whole thing :/ did you shoot this with everything in normal mode or did you change contrast and other stuff. also what lens did you use?

[LetsTalkDance]

Beautiful work. I'm jealous of your campus' studios; my university has three or four studios, but they tend to be cluttered with items like props for shows and spare tables.

[bradleyg5]

man those girls are serious athletes, never realized the type of shape you need to be in to do that. some serious muscle on those legs.

[dlimke]

What is the music? Enjoyed this very much.

[BKMTpictures]

I have a question: how do you remove the letter box from the video? because it is already on the LCD screen when i start recording, and when i import it into final cut there is a letter box. thanks

[sspphhiinnxx]

need help here,

could you tell me whats your export settings,

im having hard time editing my videos on premiere cs4 without destroying my HD quality

[hellastorm8]

how did you get it to 1080p if it shoots 60p in 780?

[YDNLMA]

yawn, classical ballet is so boring, the last one I saw was Ondine, by Henze, and it was a bit cooler but still boring at times, specially the wedding. Im looking forward to see that Spaniard's choreography of Synaphai...

[PaidPal]

Not bad except for I'll shot myself if I see AGAIN ballerinas putting on pointe shoes from EXACT THE SAME PERSPECTIVE as 10000 people filmed/photographed it to date

[psalt21]

@PaidPal I would like to say that I appreciate the input, but I don't. I guess next time I will try not to capture things from such a pleasant angle that many others before me couldn't help but also notice. I wish you luck in your quest for refinement.

[PaidPal]

@psalt21

Honestly I don't care what you'll do in the future. If you expect only happy clappy comments, why won't you make a clear statement "ass kissing comments only please"?

[whole27]

@psalt21 wow, great job in editing and the angles you chose....the girls have cute butts too:)

[CEOTerminator]

They are totaly oblivious to the world around them!

[gagartica]

good job..!! excellent...!!!!!

[Saboteur1986]

NICE!! BONER!!!

[nvstg8s]

Q: what kind of stabilizer are you using?

[sine0]

wow. great job you made ballet interesting to me. i never understood the grace and skill, i found it a pleasure to watch.

[psalt21]

@sine0 Thanks! I totally agree, it's surprising to see how much those dancers put into their art - literally dozens of hours a week! It's basically their full-time job. I appreciate your comment!

[esgimasd]

Great vid. I didn't know ballet pumps had soles lol

[sOuLjAvIcK]

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A FUCKING MOVIE!!! BRAVO BRAVOO!! hahaha

[thatniggbeme7]

hi what picture style are u shooting with to get this quality..is it standard or r u customizing your user settings

[verableu2]

this is excellent. i loved your cinematography. you should make projects that are not just for school but for your own enjoyment

[samarasingheclan]

Can I ask what settings you had on your camera. Like shutter speed, aperture, ISO and things like that because I think it looks very good.

[Ricborck007]

Whew! damn cool! :)

[psalt21]

@Ricborck007 Thanks!

[chente19]

I just got the same camera......! this is very cool. did you add extra lights?

[psalt21]

@chente19 yeah I had three tungsten lights I placed around them in kind of a triangle pattern. Thanks for watching! I really like the camera, and I can't wait to start getting more lenses for it. Have you shot any video with yours yet? Also check out my version of this that I did a little color correction to

[chente19]

@psalt21 No, I have not....! I I need to buy a SD card.

I used to have a XTi, so all my cards are compact flash.

As soon as I get one I'll post one.

[christmascactus]

Sweet video! You're shooting from some great angles.

[salterkathi]

I love this video. It made me tear up to see both of your talents at work. It is so beautiful!  Both you and Jessi are amazing. I am so proud of you!!

[turleya18]

Very cool yo! I set up an account just so I could make a comment for you. :) You did a great job. It was fun to see Jessi doing ballet. I have not been privledged to see her dance yet. You have a gorgeous wife as you already know.

[psalt21]

@turleya18 Thanks!

[ZimZader]

Nice.

[psalt21]

@ZimZader Thanks for watching!

[psalt21]

This is my first edit. I think I am going to do some fine tuning
