quite nice.

did you have any difficulties with rolling shutter and annoying lens flares. How are the lens flares with sun?

@JulianKooijmans

Lens flare depends on the lenses, and your aperture settting. Primes handle flare better then zooms but by stopping down, you can reduce it (if light is directly in front of the camera) - off camera flare is corrected by hoods.

Rolling shutter is straight forward to correct for in final cut pro with a few distort functions. (check out my other video: "Coming to Terms"

Great video and effects , what software did you use for the editing?

[droo3556]

@ANNIESI1 thanks heaps! I used finalcut pro for everything apart from the slow mo effects. The slow mo scenes where 'optical flow retimed' with Apple's Motion app.

sweet! thanks for the video upload! i was wondering how a 10-20 would look like the mkii and it looks great! i think i'm going to buy it, did you have an extension tube? i know the canon one is a EF-s and doesn't work on mkii but i dunno about the sigma version.

[droo3556]

the canon EF-s would be similar to the sigma DG, inc vignetting. if you have one, ensure the aperture is as wide as possible, anything above F4.5 severely reduces the width of the footage.

I had to zoom the sigma into about 13-14mm to minimise left.right edge vignetting, at that zoom amount, the sigma is at F4.5 (not F4.0) and can be 'gotten away with' for night footage. daylight footage has alot of dark edges but can be used to effect if needed. :-)

Also, no extension tube was used.
