glidecam smooth shooter and canon xl2 with wide 3x

[PatruFloStudio]

Good Video !!! Please Tell me , what transition or effects use at 0:24 - 0:26 ?? please :D sorry for my english !!!

[RawVSsamckdown]

how on earth did you get such a cinematic quality!!??

[justinbeabersadouche]

This is so cool! If only my dslr was this, and my tripod + fluidhead was the steadyshooter thing.

The song sounds like wanderlust! xD

[fuzzylogic218]

what did you use for the light leaks FX?

[KyleMovieStudios]

@fuzzylogic218 i think there natural flars straight from the camera

[2migell]

do you recomend to get this camera?

do they use it in hollywood?

or movie production companies?

[estanlocoproductions]

@2migell i use this camera to shoot all my films and i LOVE it. no its not what they use in hollywood. if you want what they use there you are looking at $100,000 just for the body of the camera. the only problem with this camera is that it is no longer made. so you would have to buy it off a auction site.

[sugars01]

[TheFakeChannel]

WOW, that looks great :D

[prankcallingisfun]

is there a preset on the xl2 for this effect?

[100dollarproductions]

Do you prefer the wide 3x over the 20x lens that comes with the camera

[ulysee]

what is the name of this song and artist on this reel??

[yusingsong]

what lens are you use it? how much?? tq

[GeorgeMaier]

this looks wider than 16:9, did you crop in post?

[sandyflugstonemullet]

This is the effect I can expect from my Canon XL2 and 'Glidecam' - good hey??

[kelvintwt]

whats the effect at 0:24 - 0:26. i really need to know. thanks!

[VinceCheong]

@kelvintwt Seems like film roll burn... while swapping over to a new reel... hahaha

Adobe AFter Effects ftw! :D

[kelvintwt]

@VinceCheong thanks! that helped a lot! :D

[TemplarReturns]

What kind of glide rig did you use?

[antropoloscar]

talented

[80dollarbill]

Really enjoy your stuff guys! Very talented. I'm just curious, are there specific settings you enjoy using for cinematic situations on your xl2 or do you guys set everything at normal and adjust in post production? Thanks!

[capecodairsofter]

hey what editing software are you using?

[ramiro0412]

Hi i woud like to know how do you pass the videos to the computer 1-conect fireware and then ? ... i use the dv-pc recorder but i dont know how to use it . and i capture the video with pinnacle but how do yuo pass your video and how do you the letters in the end

[DjKeeper]

budapest :)

[capecodairsofter]

hey, what editing software was used?

[Marillionmad]

I have decided that I shall buy this camcorder. But only after I know that I have passed my course with high marks.

[MAXTHALOS]

Amazing !!!

[IctoPacto]

is it possible to film in wide without the lens ? like in some options with the basic kit or watever

[caspianfilms1]

How did you acheive this aspect ratio? Did you crop it in pemiere?

[caspianfilms1]

Is canon XL2 cinematic?

[fabian3run]

nice :))

[vegasfilms09]

damn dude niceeeeeeeeee worKK!

[JWD96]

Nice color correction!

[Skexis365]

I haven't seen any questions about the editing on this sheet of comments, and I'm too lazy to go through everything, What program did you use to edit (colour correction, contrast, etc)?

[Vendettabrother]

why not a full resolution? 1920X1080 for example...

[sharuban]

@Vendettabrother Hate to break it to you, but the XL2 doesn't shoot in 1920x1080.

[Spruceboy1]

Does anybody know what music is playing? Really like it! Thanks!!

[JennaLeeSaint]

@Spruceboy1 all is full of love - bjork

great song choice

[RigityFilms]

Nice footage and i love the song i can tell its bjork but what song is it?

[KingR3aper]

All is full of love?

[pablonua]

where you found the light transition you used?? im looking for this transition a lot of time but i don`t have any lucky. i hope you can help me, thanks a lot.

[fotoklik2u]

currently we can use NIKON D90 as HD video, Canon 5DM2-Full HD video

[MichaelPattiVideo]

what did you do you color correction on?

[AshillYouth]

would you recomend the x3 lens over the cheaper ebay 0.72 adapters? i know the price is so different but are you paying for the fact that it is canon?

also, did you just have a glide cam, did you have supports or anything?

[Anthonycuffiestar]

Yo, The Canon XL2's lens allows shallow DOF. It does a wonderful job without a lens.

[Stillraining3]

Nice...Just received my Glide cam and vest today..having issue with vertical pendulum and its not a counter balance issue ( I dont think)...My swing down from 90 is less then 1.5 seconds.

But You are getting way less swing in your shots then I am ..good job what ever your doing.

[aviatormxpilot]

Didn't you rig come with instructions? Or a training DVD? The drop time should be 2.5 seconds to 3 seconds.

[fuzzylogic218]

Bjork All is full of love. I just used Shazam to find that out. I love my iPhone

[intellectualstylez]

WoW Amazing video. **What's the name of this song please?** Thanks

[TransformaFilms]

great work buddy!!!

[M2Lfilms]

The major difference between Video & Film is a shallow Depth of Field, (DOF). Film has it, video doesn't. Until now; Canon 7D, 5D Mark II & Nikon D90 all shoot with a shallow DOF like film.

XL2 can't produce a shallow DOF without a DOF Adapter, a rig to attach it & a good photo lens. All of that will cost around $3,500. Even if you got all of that, your still only shooting in 480p SD (Standard Definition) instead of 720p & 1080p HD (High Definition). As a Filmmaker I recommend the $2k Canon 7D

[korgpadude]

hi, is it possible to attach a dof lens to the canon hf-s100?

[M2Lfilms]

Yes, Letus 35 makes a DOF Adapter that will fit almost any camera. But you also have to get the rod support system to attach it to the camera. Then you need a good still photo lens. You'll spend close to $3,500 for everything.

I wouldn't recommend it. For less than $2k you can get the Canon 7D or the $1,200 Nikon D90. The D90 only shoots 24p / 720p. The 7D shoots 24p, 30p, 50p 1080p / 60p 720p.

Those cams. are much better then using a DOF Adapter & their a lot cheaper.

[cpollo666]

Might i ask WHY your suggesting still photograph SLRs for a person who wants to shoot moving pictures...?

[Barbadian2k8]

Check out the Canon 7D movie footage on vimeo/youtube, you will be very surprised as i was when i first saw the quality of moving image.

[MrSupersushiboy]

yes google twoneil and ask him. he makes the best adapter

they are good dof adapter

[GrinningLizard]

I'm confused.

The XL2 is a MiniDV camcorder, the 7d and D90 are digital SLRs - principally still photography camcorders.

How on earth can you recommend a SLR in place of any film camcorder, no matter how good the field depth or how high the definition? Camcorders like the XL2 are designed, from viewfinder to body shape, to shoot moving footage.

Wouldn't a digital Single-Lens Reflex need an adapter to switch its lens from photography to cinematography anyway?

[Dustie1984]

@M2Lfilms I don't get the depth of field thing. Depth of field is the range in distance between the lens and the object where the object appears sharp. Video cameras have depth of field controls as well, and many films contain images with high depth of field. I always thought the difference is actually the fact film tape picks up light differently that consumer-level CCD in camcorders.

[roadblock80]

@Dustie1984 not quite, dude. It's the amount of space that is in focus. (IE If 10 feet in front of the camera were out of focus, the next three were in focus, and beyond that was out out of focus, your DOF would be 10-13 ft because that is the space that is in focus).

[Dustie1984]

But that's what I wrote. The range in distance between the object and lens where it appears sharp - in focus.

And after a discussion with other ppl here I confirmed by theories, that it's just impossible to replicate film look on digital. I guess we can only get super close, like digital movie cameras do using multiple light-sensitive matrix sized as a 35mm film frame.

[mogwix]

@Dustie1984 Depth of Field is a function of aperture size and imaging area. Larger aperture (lower ƒ stop) = shallower DOF. Larger imaging area = shallower DOF. There are cinematic cameras nowadays that have image sensors that are the same size as the imaging area of 35mm film, so optically they perform exactly the same as film.

You can match the frame dimensions and rate of a cine film camera, but film renders light in different ways. More dynamic range, wider colour gamut etc.

[uthzz]

awesome film clutter inserts.. cheers :)

[digitalnow]

HI. Nice work! Question: Along with the 3x wide lens, did you set the camcorder to 16:9 shooting?

[brainstudiox]

of course :) we always shoot everything in 16:9 :)

[cg68]

I love the look of this footage. I have an XL2 and I love the results of it. What are the filters that you used for this look. Where did you get the film reel writing footage?

[CircleofShit]

Who needs HD anyway. This camera still has a great look. Its all about the films you are making, how they are made etc, You dont have to have HD for it to be great.

[yyGODyy]

that does not look like video....

[LilNikki815]

what programe do you use to edit this video, and down anybody know where you can get it from ?

[thelegendsaretrue]

Great video, great camera work.

Too much noise (for my taste) to recreate the vintage 8mm film look. Anyway, great post production job too!

[Burritoast]

i agree. a asoft focus filter would have done nicely... artificial particles always kill it for me...

[scrappybilly]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[Feelosoph]

Sounds like Bjork in the Background, Nice Videoquality

[MrPacMan36]

this should be re uploaded with an HD option...

[PlaceProductions]

The XL2 is not an HD cam.

[SonnarProductions]

The wide angle lens is not necessary, but it does help you out if your are close to the subject.

[PuckEntertainment]

can you make the canon xl2 hd? explain. and how much does a wide angle lense run for? were can i get it. explain. and is it necessary to have one. does the xl2 look like real film? explain how if not and how i can get i tto do that. thanks.

[dreDREb13]

The Canon XL2 does not shoot in HD, only standard definition.

Any detachable lens from Canon will run you at least $1000 US.

To find a wide angle lens by Canon, your best bet would be a reputable source on the internet. But this is coming from me, with no damn dealer in town that actually has cameras of this caliber.

Having a wide angle lens isn't necessary; however, it will add to the overall effect of the film you are shooting (should you want a large landscape shown at once)

[dreDREb13]

The Canon XL2 gets as close as it can to looking like real film without actually being real film. This is the best you'll get without actually buying a 16 or 35mm camera, and with post editing, you'll easily be able to give it a better overall look.

Just look at this video, and you'll see that you can get a spectacular look with it.

Great video. Beautiful post effects.

[Cineman2011]

While shopping for my camcorder, I looked at the XL2 for about a month and learned quite a bit about it. You cannot make it an HD camera. I don't know what the wide angle lenses run for but it is not necessary to have one in order for the camera to function. The XL2 does have a 24p mode (film/movie/cinema mode) which is a nice feature but there is a converter in Final Cut Pro that you can use to take standard 30 frames per second film and convert it to 24 frames per second. Hope this helps.

[MrSupersushiboy]

if convert like that than its fake and dont look the same

[PuckEntertainment]

whats the point of the lense? will it effect it much? were can i get one really enixpensively?

[ziryab92]

The point of the wide lens is to extend the focal length to a smaller value. This way, the camera can get wider coverage than normal.

[sidewalkBROADCASTERS]

представь, что это ная и алёна бегают в лесу в твоих платьях. )

[MichaelPattiVideo]

What post effect do you guys use.

[TheMacUser701]

whats this music?? i want it

[nihilo9]

It's Bjork - All is Full of Love

[Nemesys422]

This is beautiful. Your post effects are right on but your framing is excellent. The camera work has to be good if your effects are also going to be. Despite the HD environment I think the XL2 still holds it's own. Thankyou for this ;-)

[treveymills]

this really looks like you used a 35 adapter

[treveymills]

These guys are great. Im a fan

[zerosk8r707]

fuckin amazing. incredible how some simple walking shots outside with ambient music can give you goosebumps

[treveymills]

Dude your work is great.I love the color. The glide cam looks good as well

[AndDenDeyCalledMeTim]

ah that was mean... working up mood and then just smashing it at the end there..haha

[IndyCreations]

This looks amazing, I really want to get this camera and the glidecam.

[FictionalGeorge]

Amazing is all i can say. Might get this camera within a year or so :)

[sausagenmuff]

very good indeed

[craigmazzali]

Great song.

[EirikHendenMedia]

This is art! Damn good..

[Bullet0hris]

very nice

[DJCnetwork]

Wow love the video, the birds flying goes in with the bjork song. Wow now im really angry i wonder what to get, canon xl2 or canon xha1, i already checked out the test footage on both but having a hard time.

[invadertaco777]

I got a Cannon XH A1 and I love it. I dont know what I would do with out it! One thing though, with HD you have to upgrade everything around it. Keep that in mind. It takes a lot more money to keep active, tapes are more, needing more space on your computer, higher end editing programs, choosing to burn to Blu-Ray etc. It takes up A LOT of room on your hard drive, but it is sooooo worth it! I think going HD was one of my best decisions for my studio!

[invadertaco777]

That was to DJCnetwork, but anyway!

Great video! Added to favs!

[nicolascueto]

0:14

please tell me what's that effect name!!

like burning film and stuff

really cool video by the way

[Kyros]

What speed was this filmed in?

[brainstudiox]

Pal - 25fps - progressive

[jwc1926]

Obviously I meant "stabilizer" in my last post, not "stabilizinger." : ) Although I kind of like stabilizinger.

[TangyPenis]

Where did you get this version of the song? It's got more strings and harmonies than the one I have.

[TangyPenis]

Hey where are the lesbian robots?

[paulolopescurtas]

fantastic colors, beautiful björk song. amazing. congratulations!! 5*

[STRAIGHTP]

gorgeous man. nice job. i take it this is the canon 3x lens thats like $800 you are talking about?

[safty1st]

how much was the smooth shooter

[illusionz2004]

Depending on what model you look at but they usually run about $4000.00

[jwc1926]

At B&H, you can get the Glidecam Smooth Shooter Support System Kit (which includes the vest, arm, and the 4000 Pro camare stabilizinger - i.e., everything you need) for $1,769.99. You can probably find a better price someplace else, but I've dealt with B&H for a long time, and they are very reliable - nice products, fast shipping, excellent customer service. This product is on my wishlist right now.

[bluenuks63]

i love that 3x wide lens look and did you crop to 2.35:1 ?

[brainstudiox]

Right!

[DJaysParadise]

@brainstudiox Why choosing 2:35:1 instead of 16:9?

[joshisold]

How do you guys find the smooth shooter? would you say its worth the investment?

[brainstudiox]

just see our videos :) Its really great :)

I love this stuff

[HazzeNL]

That lensflare isnt real is it?

[brainstudiox]

Its real

[HazzeNL]

Nice. I like ur vid!

[brainstudiox]

Thanks dude! But its looks awful in this new player. Also i dont have an option to change the vid... great

[HazzeNL]

Jeh youtube sux. But I can see "through" that and know that your vid is good :D

I just ordered the XH A1S

[thomasck5]

h, we all suffer from that, the product was great though, im going from the xl2 to the xha1,just to get comfy with HD

[kazaa141]

this video is so poetic.. you can feel the song and the video.. it's like homogenic..

2THUMBS UP!

[cruzzycruzz]

what did you use to edit this? and how much is the wide 3x lens?

[brainstudiox]

We used premiere and after effects

[anthotatoo]

Is it raw footages directly from your XL2 or you modified it, cause the image is so sharp! Also I don't know if anybody as an idea but my 24p footage from my XL2 looks strange since a while, I guess it's when I transfer on my computer, but it looks interlaced when it's suposed to look progressive or either it has kinda lines in the screen when there is movement... Someone has a solution?

[rubent100]

im selling an xl2 for $1400 let me know

[overether]

man, you are my hero!

Bravo.

[magermax000]

how do you get that effect, where it looks like film spliced together or something????? it's SOOO cool!!

[treveymills]

!!!!! more footage on my page. XL2 Footage

[Witlen]

Oh god -_- is that Bjork? The music went good witht h video though. The footage was good too.

[RahRy444]

Brutally Gorgeous.

[magnusw09]

hey what video editing program did you use? i like the effects.

[brainstudiox]

Adobe Premiere

[ktaklism1]

exelente!!

[ihatebarakobama]

How do you like the 3x wide lens? Is this cropped beyong 16:9 ratio? Looks great tho

[kazaa141]

what's the title of the song?so good.. is it shot in 24p?

[brainstudiox]

the song is "Bjork - all is full of love"

Its 25p coz we live in europe (PAL)

[AnnonymousOne]

Why is it 25p. Why because of Europe? How come it can't be 24p.

[widerangledotcom]

its PAL, its in 25 fps.

[mynameischad]

Wow, I love this

[1suaveguy]

this video is immaculate. the music and everything...I just got an xl1s and can't wait to do my thing w/it.

[xXItachiXx06]

dam O.o

[Kremenchug]

Cool!

[brainstudiox]

We using adobe premiere to edit, the film strip effects made with after effects using mattes.

The song is björk - all is full of love.

It was filmed in Hungary, Budapest where we live. It was shoot with Xl2 (pal) with the wide 3x lens.

[TheRedComa]

And the "look" of the footage? Did you do any color correction in premiere or after effects? This looks great!

[pfranks44]

how did you do the film strip effects like the writing and the red and yellow spots?? please respond someone

[Burritoast]

that wide angle lens makes all difference... holy shit If I were you I would never take that lens off... you really have a good look going with it... Try adding a CTB filter and dropping down to 24f. That would give a film look indefinite

[GermanMovieMaker]

These shots are awesome. They are super smooth and kind of the best I have seen with the smooth shooter. Please tell me your set up.

[Graphicspittz187]

Please tell me what the name of this SONG is PLZ

[GermanMovieMaker]

It is Björk - All is full of love

[schizophrenik8]

this is as smooth as it gets. Very nice glidecam shots. Love the film strip effects too.

[mrocean468]

nice locations where was this filmed?

[noljer]

THESE GUYS ARE BAD ASS...YES! I would like to know as well...What program? I use Magic Bullet.

[zoojude]

what type of editing program did you use?

[lkabird]

love the mood

[onetwotony]

Excellent job I like this video by you guys! What software do you guys use? thanks you.

[ariffshah10]
