Nikon D90 HD Short Film

[CoolColJ24]

Nice, how do you get that film look with a digital camera?

[dcc460ut]

@CoolColJ24 Greeting!

I did nothing Just used the right lenses! but I'm happy that you like it.

[VwErik88]

I have redad abot this camera at many site´s and i still wonder can this camera film in real Hd ? the quality of this movie seems to be very good :)

[dcc460ut]

@VwErik88

This camera is old now, you can buy the new Nikon D7000 or Panasonic GH1 or GH2 for real HD

Those lenses that I used here were not kit lens that's why the video quality is better.

[VwErik88]

@dcc460ut Okay yeh i have seen that but it´s preddy expensive...i don´t have the monney for that :P my second camera i have check is the Nikon 3100 is that better then D90?

[dcc460ut]

@VwErik88

It's a low level DSLR Camera! in this case go ahead and buy Sony A-55 it has everything you ask for with a 16MPix and HD Video around $850! I got one and I like it very much both it's video and it's pictures

[VwErik88]

@dcc460ut Okay that sounds great :) i gonna check it :) thanks for your answer

[FerasWithAcam]

could you please please upload it on 4shared or some other upload site

cuz i cant find it any where ... i need it for my upcoming movie

[cungbo]

what's the name of the songs?

[dcc460ut]

@cungbo

Hi, how's life over there?

It is from Aria 2 Album by the name of " Contilena " You will love the whole album

[spirg]

Excellent !!! - I just got a new d90, did you use a tripod at all? And was the lens 18/105 vr ? Thanks

[dcc460ut]

@spirg

I used Sigma 105mm 2.8 fix and Sigma 24mm 1.8

[Cc00kies]

what is this wonderful music?

[dcc460ut]

@Cc00kies

" Contilena " Aria 2

[MythicSkater]

I love Laguna! Great video man! I have to go back there soon.

[dcc460ut]

@MythicSkater

Any time!

[gershonsqs]

some great cinematography in there. But the thing is, why doesnt your d90 video have those stairstepping of diagonal lines that mine has?

[dcc460ut]

@gershonsqs

Thanks,

Use Tripod then the problem you mentioned will be minimized

[ibanezgr]

Looks good, but if I were you, i would have gotten an external Mic. The sound here is quite rubbish. But the video is very good.

[dcc460ut]

Thank you very much,

You are right but the Nikon D90 does not have any input for a mic!! and Nikon did not try to improve the video quality either that's why I sold it and Bought a new Panasonic GH1.

[ibanezgr]

My pleasure. Does the GH1 have a mic input? And does it shoot in HD? Is it better than the D90? I really like Panasonic cameras. I'm currently looking at the Canon D7 and I am thinking of buying it, but it's quite expensive... How much does the GH1 cost?

[dcc460ut]

Yes, the GH1 solved All those problems we faced with D90 like fix back screen, low quality video, Auto gain control,manual focus etc..now you have a nice adjustable monitor, gain is fixed, and you can control the speed and aperture as well. it's a high class digital camcorder but of course it is not as good as Nikon D90 when we talk about Photography!

[ibanezgr]

That's brilliant! I'm more into filming than photography, but I am interested in photography as well, so that camera will be perfect! Thank you!

[erraticeuphoria]

hi dcc,

i like the way you edit the d90 to get this kinda look

may i know how do u upload your videos to youtube? what converter did u use?

and what program to edit with?

thanks

[dcc460ut]

Thank you very much,

I use FCP and Mac G5 for editing

for exporting to YouTube visit YouTube Handbook site

[Citabria007]

What do you do to get large depth of field? since you cannot control the aperture?

[dcc460ut]

Use Manual Lenses and set your camera to manual,

set the aperture to 4 or 5.6 then lock the AE go to live

and start filming

[tenayo66]

I like your use of a tripod. It makes such a difference. More pleasant to look at..

There were three handheld scenes in this video, shakey

[dcc460ut]

Thank you actually if you don't use tripod beside the shake you will have jelyfish effect on your pictures!

[cablefreak76]

Beautiful, I like the calm music as well. :)

[dcc460ut]

Thanks a lot!

[EVILAKUMA]

The music reminds of music from a Tim Burton film.

[EVILAKUMA]

is this a 50mm ?

[dcc460ut]

Hi,

No! I used two lenses here:

24mm f1.8 and a short telephoto 105mm f2.8

[cuffs54]

I really, really like this video, but PLEASE! what is the name/artist of the music?? Thanks...

[dcc460ut]

Thank you very much.

I think it is " Contilena " Aria 2

[cuffs54]

Thank you sooo much, keep up the great work! I have a D90 and D5000 that I am going to try to do some video with. I am more of a photo than video guy, but this is an inspiration. Also I think I found the artist for the music is Paul Schwartz possibly. Thanks :)

[dcc460ut]

Thank you, I'm waiting to watch your video soon. do not forget a very good tripod

[LuminolBlue]

Very well made, great presentation. Thanks for sharing! :-)

[dcc460ut]

I'm so glad. Thank you

[GsBBoyDan]

Good job, i'm considering one of these.

[dcc460ut]

Thanks!, but if you wait for the new Nikon with full HD. will be better

[DefinitiveCaribbean]

Nice film! I love the beach transitions.

[dcc460ut]

Thank you very much

[AristokratKama01]

less camera movement, much color correction, and a better tripod with these you can do better

[dcc460ut]

Yes! you are right... thanks

[Ronkis]

I'm in the process of buying a DSLR (if that's the right word in english for it) myself. And I'm thinking of this camera... Are the movie clips okey to look at? Is the 24p, that the d90 has, enough?

But, I just gotta ask, what's the name of the music title and who's the composer?! I'd love to find the sheet music to it and play it myself!!

Please answer!!!

Thanks!!

[cungbo]

I watched all your videos and you selected the best music. I love it.

[dcc460ut]

Thanks a lot, I appreciated your comment!

[135Weird531]

How did you convert the avi file to wmv? when I put the avi file in sony vegas I only get audio :s

[dcc460ut]

I did not!, I use Final Cut Pro with my Mac and I put the AVI files directly on the time line and then if I want to convert the final to WVM I use QuickTime with a Plugin.

I don't know about Vegas, it doesn't work with Mac!

[jacf182]

Great video!! I'm about to get this beautiful camera! I have one question though...how does the video capture feature work? Is the shutter kept open permanently while capturing the video or does it open/close at a certain speed?

[dcc460ut]

Thank you my friend,

before you go to live mode, you sett the shutter according to the light meter of camera and lock it then go to the live mode and press the record. the speed in video mode is around 1/48 sec. in video mode all features are manual so it is not easy to handle it like a ordinary camcorder.

[HiTM4N16]

wonderfull video! what settings did you use on those dusk and night shots? I'm always having a lot of noise in my videos with the d90 when shooting at night.

[dcc460ut]

Try fast lenses with f-stop less than 2.0 like Sigma 24mm f 1.8 which I used here for dusk and night or Nikon 35mm f 1.8 or Nikon 50mm f 1.4. D90's shutter speed maintain at 48 to keep the 24 fps but then when the light is low , D90 pushes up the gain (ISO) to capture the pictures! that's why we get noise

[willybizz]

As the shots are edited (music added etc ) is the footage enhanced, it looks slightly blurred in HD on iMac24! so do you have any raw footage?

Great location, wish it was like that here in UK....

[dcc460ut]

Hi,

Try to watch it in high quality which you see it under the video. Sure I have in 720 Hd somewhere else and I try to send the address via your YouTube message

[dcc460ut]

By the way I sent the address.

but no the Video was not enhanced at all.

if you got the address please let me know

[willybizz]

after visiting the website you suggested the difference was startling and more than I expected.

Thank you for info

[elisirfromslovenia]

Nice vid. ;)

Can u tell me the name of the song in the background please?

[dcc460ut]

Cantilena By master of Music Paul Schwartz

[elisirfromslovenia]

thanks for the info

[Superfoot]

Man I'm glad I searched for that German beer commercial shot with the D90 b/c I found this vid in the related sidebar. This short along with the German commercial and the 3 minute long take of car moving on a Tokyo bridge at night are the best clips from the D90. The other clips I saw before this clip ant the other two,I was not impressed.They look like a 1970's 16mm film. lol. I want to do a short film with dialogue,just wondering should I wait for the 2nd generation D90?

[dcc460ut]

Thank you very much, you are kind.

To buy or not to buy D90! well yes and no, it is a powerful still picture camera but the video part needs a lot of attention to be a perfect film camera ( NOT VIDEO ) we are on the edge of technology and every two month something new come out, so if you are a film maker and have around $1500 to start then buy it who knows about tomorrow? this is not a camcorder and it needs Tripod and your good skill of working with a manual camera and other film's knowledge

[higashioosaka]

it is a beautiful movie! the sound of wave!

i envy you.

[dcc460ut]

Thank you and thanks to Japan

[happydogsproduction]

Amazing Video! love the mood in this!

Hoping on seeing more if your films!

[dcc460ut]

Thank you!

[trinisteel]

wow.

impressive vid.

awesome music to go with it.

i agree 100% with everything said by YourDarkAccomplice.

[dcc460ut]

I'm so happy to hear that, Thank you!

[YourDarkAccomplice]

Breathtaking! These "abstract" videos are vague enough to give us a visual of a good movie. In this case, it would be one of those mysteries/drama movies. The other one gave me the soothing visuals of a garden in front of a castle, like from Beauty and the Beast... ;)

See? That's why I called them "abstract clips" since it's all about what the viewer imagines.

Ever think of making mini movies on YT with these amazing ideas of yours? :)

[dcc460ut]

Thanks a lot my friend.
