[sunnyscoots]

[NWACLANLEADER1]

[deion807]

[TheBTBproduction]

im impressed. the voice over audio is good, and of course the film is as well. esp when he goes outside. very good indeed!

[ZerikMarves]

great video! what f stop did u shoot most of this at? and what zoom range were u at??

[deion807]

@ZerikMarves All different depending on the shot. Can't remember specifically what was used for any given shot.

[cpo2u]

Cute little Christian short. We need to pray, just to make it today.

[VacaVidsPictures]

can someone tell me if you can get those black lines in the video from imovie 11?

[doodaadoolifesgood]

Real nice work, i'm impressed - totally inspires me!

I have one question though: what program do you use to edit your videos and was it only natural light during the short film? Thank you for replying!

[laughingcrows]

Looks great, nice work man. Question about your Tamron; how smooth is the zoom? In other words, could you get a nice zoom while filming?

[BigDoski]

God bless you man

[DEskateboarding]

what rendering settings have u been using , please hopefully u have after efects cause thats what i have and i cant seem to find a good rendering setting once im done rendering I want to upload to youtube but i want the quality to look great!

[stiffvids]

Incredible! Natural light only?

[masterprogram]

when you keep switching views do you pause the camera?

[OxSADEKxO]

is there a big difference between Tamron AF 28-75mm and the orgnal lens.. GREAT SHORT

[TheRenstarmusic]

Watch it at 240p...Great Job!!

[guttarekordz]

my bad i tookso long brotha yea it was i like it homie keep up the good work

[aznanime562]

Wow man, really good job. i love the angles you shot from.

Im getting the T2i soon, do you like using it?

[deion807]

@aznanime562 I really like the picture that it puts out, for sure. I'd be interested to know if the 7D or 5D pictures looks any better. I'm actually shooting another video similar to this one on Sunday using the T2i. Thanks for the words!

[eleazargraycomedy]

@deion807 The 7D and t2i are exactly the same when it comes to video. 5D is the best though.

[eleazargraycomedy]

What editor did you use?

[guttarekordz]

yep! i liked it bro god bless 1

[guttarekordz]

dope fil;m homie 

[deion807]

@guttarekordz Is that a compliment?

[GhettoPunktual]

hey did u color grade or correct this? i have the t2i and its nice but i cant ever color correct it right in final cut express.

[deion807]

@GhettoPunktual Yep...it was color corrected in Magic Bullet Looks.

[TheOfficialSnowFlake]

@deion807 color correct looks awesome

[adapmal]

Beatifull job! What picture style did you use in camera? Amem!

[deion807]

@adapmal Honestly I do not remember the in camera style. It may have been just standard. I color corrected it in Magic Bullet Looks.

[drummerboy955]

i have a question, Im thinking about buying one, and was wondering how much it cost for all of the stuff the camera, boom mic, and all of the stuff u use in the vid?, that would be very helpful. Thanks, and thought your video was very good.

[macktysontv]

What did you use for lighting?

[deion807]

@macktysontv I have the Lowel DV Creator 55 Kit, but for this I just used the Rifa light that came with it

[TwinVisionFilms]

Dude this was amazing good job!

[TheSheepTalks]

this is really inspiring!!

[ICEx03]

Hey great film but how did you manage to get the Rode NTG2 to work with the T2i? What adapter did you purchase?

[deion807]

@ICEx03 I used a Zoom H4n with the mic on a boom pole to record the audio. It has a headphone output that could connect to the input on the T2i.

[ICEx03]

@deion807 And you automatically get audio from the t2i when you take it into post-production? Or do you have to match up the audio from the Zoom with the SLR? Thanks for replying!

[deion807]

@ICEx03 I matched up the high quality audio from the H4N with the reference audio recorded to the T2i in post

[ICEx03]

@deion807 Oh I see. Thanks man, I appreciate it.

[EndofLineProductions]

Great film. Absolutely great. Did you ever consider adding in music?

[yournotknown]

That was beautifull,touched my heart!

made we want more.

[TheElliotBee]

Beautifully done.

[Sybernetic]

Beautiful film. Nice camera work, buddy.



[Sybernetic]

Beautiful film.  Nice camera work, buddy.

[IkeyTV]

Amen

[OneFoolShow]

is there pause while recording or do you need to stop to get the next footage?

[deion807]

@OneFoolShow There is only an option to stop....but it's pretty much the same as any other camera.

[UnknownTalentStudios]

Was this the raw footage or was it colour corrected?

[deion807]

@UnknownTalentStudios It was color corrected.

[FullSailtv]

That was awesome. What is the name of the font you used for the credits?

[deion807]

@FullSailtv The font was called 'Bebas Neue'

[NiGHTSChao689]

Very well done. Thank you for making this.

[towdow3]

thinking about getting this...is it worth it?

[IkeyTV]

@towdow3 Yes it is either this or the T3i There the same camera just one has a movable scrreen

[mic4rap]

AMEN

[dahunt17]

@Jakemz51 i had the same problem with my memory card on my t2i, i asked around and it's not normal for cards to do that, if you have the receipt you should try to take it back and get a different one.

[shadayafreeman]

@Jakemz51 Yeah he's right I just learned the hard way myself! Ordered it from Amazon for $54 but at Best Buy its over $100

[rlsmith0813]

Great message, very important to express his will before others

[rlsmith0813]

Great Message! we need to confess this everyday to Him. Great video work and keep these powerful films coming. I'm thinking of getting a Canon T2

[believerster]

Horrible message, but the best 550 cinematography I've seen on youtube.

[bboysoy]

how did you get the movie quality to look like that? is it stock or some kind of filter? Nice short btw :)

[deion807]

@Jakemz51 I used a Class 6 16GB SDHC card. Using SD cards or anything less than Class 6 may not work...from what I've heard.

[FoobarFilms]

@deion807 It's true. I use a class 4, or was using a class 4, and It worked for 3 seconds and then quits out.

[sourcekings]

seems very wide angle

[bluromance]

Great video, great message..!!

[stj2496]

awesome video... very well shot compared to other t2i videos Ive seen.

how did you like the lens? I'm looking into getting a lens for video... have you found anything better?

[deion807]

@stj2496 I'm not a "lens snob" like some, so it has served me well. Search youtube for "run to you retta" for a video I shot using just the $100 Canon 1.8 50mm on a T2i. All the shallow DOF shots are using it.

[mattNish2]

what movie editor do you use ? :O

[deion807]

@mattNish2 Final Cut Pro on the Mac

[prajath]

Nice Video*



[prajath]

Hey Video,

Did you do any color corrections? IF yes ..what settings.. thanks

[deion807]

@prajath If I recall correctly, I used Magic Bullet Looks to push the shadows toward an aqua color and then the highlights to a slightly warmer tint.

[LastFilmProductions]

did you use anything to stabilize the video?

[deion807]

@LastFilmProductions We used the RedRockMicro microShoulderMount for the unsteady shots. The other shots just used a fluid head tripod.

[Vonnesera]

Nice message! Beautiful prayer, and well shot. This is what I pray for everyday : )

[mrphlipper]

I loved your sweet prayer. I am alos happy that it was made using the Identical camera to the one I own. May I say two things. I love God and the Canon T2i - in that order.

Nothing else in the universe matters.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

[YouGeneration]

LOVE IT ALL bro.

[JoshQuillin]

Awesome! Great job! Love it!

[MOVEMEMZ]

amen... this is my prayer.

[avamilan]

Great Job

[mark84j]

While the directing, acting, and everything involved in the production of this piece is top notch, I can't help but feel weird about the message. Me being an agnostic, and former Christian, I never was too keen on living every step of my life in concordance to that of my creator. I don't live my life to serve, or to worship, or to fear. I live to just live.

[deion807]

@mark84j Yeah...this video is really a message to believers and followers of Jesus. I wouldn't expect it to make much sense to those who are not. Regardless, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[iKenj]

Just 455 views? This is sooo well done, it should definitely have way over 10K. This is serious talent...

[gambitrocks]

Very nice! Did you use your Rode NTG2 on your T2i or did you have an external recorder?

[deion807]

@gambitrocks I ran it to a Zoom H4n. Some of the shots we tricky, so I didn't want to deal with a cable connecting the T2i to the mic/boom. Thanks for the feedback.

[William82oct]

@deion807 what kind of lighting did you use bro

[deion807]

@William82oct We used the Lowel DV Creator Kit 55...primary the Rifa light and then the pro light bounced off of the roof with a gel.

[William82oct]

@deion807 Thanx! Man lighting is so hard to learn. My first directing job will be directing a music video for some local rappers and lighting is my biggest fear because its so difficult to master.
