India - A Canon 7D Film - Part One

[HollywoodNorthProdtm]

its choppy in film speed.nice to see india etc. are you still there? can you start a company there for me? tycoonaction@gmail.com

[AndersPHansson]

Did you use any ND filter?

[flight1us]

miniature effect on the 7D?

[honrid]

Is that the miniature affect for the shot of the elephants at what I guess is the Jaipur Fort?

[rkrockstarmusic]

is it safe to using copyright music for short film?????

[ShikosCoffeebook]

Thumbs up at 3:26.

[Mexymillion]

Amazing video! Really nice shots dude. Just came back from India.. Totally in love with the country!

[eateer]

i have the same setup. And i was just in Delhi a few months ago. Awesome stuff man.

[BoothJudas]

the color....well you know what I'm going to say

[fastandthetokyolow]

could you please tell me the export settings you used for this?

[guigolazo]

the song is 10000 times much better than your video, good though

[bambuplant]

A lot of beautiful clips! The color grading is lovely, did you use any plugins in FCP?

[MrPaniji]

Geoffrey: I liked the video but not the concept. Why all foreign directors or artists are always interested to show the poor part of India?

[RedNorthern]

@MrPaniji What did he show that was bad? (I'm Indian as well-Karnataka) He films some scenes and put it together? What should he just film a bunch of call centers and put that together?

[ravibansalhope]

Awesome video. Excellent choice of music.

[10mism]

nice video but bad music......

[10mism]

@MrPaniji

i was not jury in oscar.

[MrPaniji]

@10mism Nothing personal bro

[KayWildcat]

@10mism The music is great!

[spuddapotato2494]

hmmmm .... interesting... :)

[Mozo901]

Do you shoot with a flat custom picture style?

[Mozo901]

How did you color correct this???

[amgeoffrey12]

@Mozo901 Magic Bullet looks!

[Hirouzamaki]

Did you do color correction and grading? If so, what software did you use?

[reokn]

Excellent work geoff..

[rhashad88]

I want to go there next year!

[peterchinnock]

Beautiful! Brings back memories of earlier this year.

I started in Delhi, then Agra, then 2 weeks in Jodphur teaching English and back down to Delhi via Pushkar.

[whitemsk]

2:23 awesome :D

[renoldterisen]

GREAT GREAT GREAT!

Did u just used Tamron 7-50? Other tips u want to give us?

[bhavaniputra]

gr8 vid... u are a brilliant cinematographer... pls if possible gimme ur email id... got a nice offer for uu

[pmgurjar]

Nice vid!!! I am waiting for part 2!

[KrissiBenassi]

i got a 5d mark ii. did you use colour setting in camera or have you done the colour correction in post processing?

[hbommd3]

just out of curiousity what color correction program did you use? this really looks outstanding.

[ingeniatv]

nice ! and for color correction ?

[benjiewales]

is it me or is this quite glitchy? It seems to me the camera aint so hot when handheld

[DYONYCIS]

@ :26 that shot looks like something right out of a movie....i'm debating should i get this camera or the 5d mark ii and have no food on the table LOL.

[pixuma]

@DYONYCIS I'd go hungry for a while if it meant getting a 5Dmk2

[TheHueFilms]

@pixuma 7 d is better for filming not mention cheaper

[pixuma]

@TheHueFilms "better for filming" that's debatable

[nomattermedia]

how did you edit this thing. It takes for ever to compress the 7d files to edit them

[WupeViasco]

this is great. reminds of india!

[Morriusvids]

Hey, it's better if you hold the camera straight sometimes.

[TeaGreenz]

amazing,,,

[openalias]

This video is incredible. The elephant alley sot at around 2:17 is mindblowing. Fantastic work, and a fantastic testament as to this camera's capabilities.

[koosoos123]

that was pretty cool man! makes me wanna go back to india again!

[idiley]

what did u edit with? you are absolutely talented!

[mikelyap]

heyy.. they have squirrels in India?

[PhotoBarS]

very very very nice.!!!!!!

[younoyouloveit23]

what song it this?

[BeanpoleProductions]

Some great shots in there. Nice grading too. The 7D is incredible. Did you just use a 17-50mm? There were a couple shots that looked like tilt shift shots...

[shaonzproduction]

hey did u use any monopod or tripod or anything ???? or just by hand ?

[nbb110]

Like scenes from a major production! Thank you for an amazing and decision making video! 7D all the way

[Monsemvula]

Can you tell me please the lens name did you used?

[amgeoffrey12]

@Monsemvula I used a Tamron f.28 17-50 lens.

[Mamarecs]

24p or 25p?

[amgeoffrey12]

@Mamarecs 24p, or more precisely, 23.97

[Mamarecs]

@amgeoffrey12 Thanks!!

[benjamindrewe]

@amgeoffrey12 the film look

[Exhume2Consume]

@amgeoffrey12 WOW THAT IMPRESSIVE THAT YOU KNOW THAT! hardly any one does!

[Haakon680]

@amgeoffrey12 or more precisely 23,976 :)

[kudjo24]

mmmmm the DOF is excellent, but doesn't the CMOS (?) processor in digital cameras like this cause the footage to slightly vibrate, if not shake? don't u truly need a steadicam/vest to fix this

[HellaBased]

Nice video! Did you edit it on a computer at India or did you bring a laptop with you over there to edit?

[amgeoffrey12]

Thanks! I had my laptop with me to edit the footage. Man, I really need to start working on part two eh?

[HellaBased]

Haha yeah it's been a while since part one came out.

How is editing video on a laptop? Does the HD footage cause the editing process to take a long time? I'm asking because i'm getting a 7D next month and will probably edit on a laptop.

[amgeoffrey12]

It was definitely tedious- a 5 second shot with colour grading would take about 4-6 minutes to render. (I'm using a Macbook Pro 2.1 ghz with 4 gigs of ram).

[HellaBased]

ahh i see. yeah that is a really long time, but probably worth the wait since the footage is crystal clear.

[HellaBased]

@amgeoffrey12

one more question, how is the macbook pro when it comes to the editing process? does it lag a lot when editing or is it smooth? im planning on getting a macbook pro and wondering if it does a good job with video editing on final cut pro. thanks.

[ys521wow]

what form you export for film super width scream ?

[lotatkeung]

good job, especially the great choice of the music!

[FeelTheMusic29]

Great job! I love it!

[bpoon2k2]

Reminds me of the trip I had in India last year. Good job!

[PeaceFanor]

I love this piece you made. It does remind me of slumdog millionaire also. what lenses did you use?

[amgeoffrey12]

Thanks! Yeah, I was definitely trying to go for the Slumdog Millionaire look.

I brought one lens and one lens only to India- the Tamron 17-55 f.2.8. It's been around the world with me!

[rodlnk]

great video

giant work

[hoodapradeep]

Wonderful work

[skinnypostTV]

Amazing job....great editing. I love this camera!

[Frogyprod]

wow i just found out about this camera today. looks like its working wonders!

this really reminds me of slumdog millionaire. great job!

[Worldview87]

If you haven't bought this camera yet, you should do some research about the recently announced Canon 550D. It has the same video capabilities and is 1000 dollars cheaper.

[killakdc5]

@Worldview87 its not as good as the 7d, you have overlooked some of the specs....

[watchingnik]

you are not right concerning the video capabilities

[jozb123]

simply amazing, great job.
