Great video, Buying the 1.8 tomorrow for my 550D. Good choice of song as well :)

Great video! What program do you use to get the title at the begining? Thanks

[SharpeysSkits]

Stone Roses as soundtrack makes this video 10x better!!! Neat :D

[CamaraMountClamp]

Thats cool

[thatniggbeme7]

can you tell me how to get the image/colors to pop out like this with the camera??

[NHBEY39]

@thatniggbeme7 Correct exposure and focus are obviously essential! Under exposed it will be dull and over exposed washed out. Using a shaloow depth of field will also pop out things in focus and others out of focus. But if you have After effects the exposure control loves the Canon 550D footage, messing with that helps a lot! Then Crushing your blacks and taking care of the colour tops it off. I have a set of nd grad filters now and would reccomend them for avoiding blowing out the sky.

Re you sure this isnt the f 1.2? It's so fricken clear!

[NHBEY39]

@SkyFortStudios It is def the 1.8! I do now own the Canon 50mm 1.4and sometimes feel I got better results with the 1.8 used here.

[JonnyWealthyGang]

what format do you render in and do you think the 50mm is better quality wise then the kit lens ? more clear video ?

[ironicRON]

what editing software are you using?



[lfcruzsierra]

That bridge shot is gorgeous!! I just got this lens today, hope to get some nice filmic footage with it.

[Hex72]

That's some bloody nice glass

[AyzKeys]

if it was filmed by the 550d then i doubt that you can manually adjust the aperture in movie mode. And especially in this daylight shooting, the cameras would possibly set the aperture to f22. Unless you use a tape to tweak the lens, then the aperture stays in f1.8

[martijnisdeshit]

this is not f1.8

[NHBEY39]

@martijnisdeshit You do understand that the 50mm 1.8 does not have a fixed aperture???

[martijnisdeshit]

@NHBEY39 yeah but if you use wide apertures, then you could better use your 18-55

[NHBEY39]

@martijnisdeshit Why would I do that when I am testing a new lens? You are missing the point! It was not a lesson in what lens you should use for a given asituation it was simply a test of a lens. I am well aware of what situations to use lenses, but in each situation of testing a lens you have to simply...use it at any of its aperture's. The title of the video is saying a 50mm 1.8 lens was used, not that it was all shot at a aperture of 1.8

[PoopyPantyPoop]

@NHBEY39 how do you change the aperture in video mode?

[NHBEY39]

@PoopyPantyPoop Hold down the AV button and spin the dial on the top.

[AyzKeys]

@NHBEY39 when you spin the AV in video mode (with the 550d) it doesnt adjust the aperture for the filming, What it does is tunning the aperture for the shooting mode. Because you still can shoot stills whilst filming so this is its purpose.

[NHBEY39]

@AyzKeys I know that! Never said otherwise. you set the aperture BEFORE you start recording, but in order to change the aperture you have to hold down the AV button and spin the dial.

[VidPro95]

What format do you upload?

[NHBEY39]

@VidPro95 I always do any corrections in After effects and render them out at Quicktime Photo jpeg(speedy workflow), edit those clips in PP and render out the final video as WMV HD 23.976. Works a treat everytime for me.

[mrandytherockstar]

does it has zoom?

[NHBEY39]

@mrandytherockstar You can not zoom with this lens, but you can still use crop mode

[NHBEY39]

@StarWars1FanShow Dont give up! when i first switched from camcorders to DSLRS i was like wtf?. I would advise getting a loupe of somekind to always check your focus! Just experiment and keep at it.

[retrodude666]

Great footage, and excellent song choice. Thanks for the upload.

[NHBEY39]

@retrodude666 Glad you enjoyed

[RielWoodBoards]

I'm having trouble uploading my footage from the 550 d up on youtube. Maybe you can help. I use premeire pro. It won't upload in hd. Maybe im exprting it in the wrong format...?

[NHBEY39]

@RielWoodBoards What version of P Pro do you have? CS5 has a "H.264 for youtube codec" that works well. I have always rendered my vids out as Windows media file 720p or 1080 and that is the file format of all my videos and works perfectly and looks exacly the same as shot. For workflow i normally correct and trim in AE and then render those out as QT jpeg for editing together in PP, that has always worked for me without a glitch and retained the quality

[RielWoodBoards]

@NHBEY39 Thanks, I'll try that out. I have premeire pro cs4

[SuperDorp]

супер

[uprise21]

kinda looks like Hawaii

[NHBEY39]

@uprise21 lol on a nice day and from certain angles it does look like a diff place, on a bad day its like hell.

[house88kend]

Amazing!

[DutchinKorea]

This lens is amazing! How did you do the color correction?

[NHBEY39]

@DutchinKorea I only ever use the Exposure and curves adjustment in After effects. The footage responds amzingly well to the exposure in AE.
