Venice's People

[TheseCitiesOurGraves]

Great short film. I really like the guys dust my broom cover. Its the best I have ever seen. Have you posted the song by itself anywhere?

[jordanchames]

awesome! the editing was great, and the music fit the video really nicely!

[DicesAreRed]

Cant watch your "Dublin's People"-Video here in germany. (some music-rights-stuff)

Did you posted it somewhere else (besides youtube)?

I love your videos but just beacause I was born in germany I cant watch all of them... (first thing I'd do when I had more money: move to Ireland)

[phatboicarson]

Did anyone listen to the old guys story..dude had a point lol

[esperantomusica]

damn the quality is phenomenal!! all you did is used magic bullet? the thing is that i want this camera so bad but some videos that claimed to have used magic bullet look like crap.dont know if cheaper cameras such as 6d could do the same.i mean you look like u used and advanced camera heh heh can u tell give me some info,please.some refuse to do so.thanks

[rainarzufall]

@esperantomusica I use the T2i which have the same Video Quality as the 7D, the 60D has the same Sensor and the same Quality too. only the 5D Mark 2 and the 1D Mark 4 or the 1D x are much better in Video and still Mode.

important is that you are creative! I saw people which create with Canon HV20 Camcorder better Videos than Dudes with a Canon 7D ;)

[jadecar86]

This is the video that inspired me to save money, sell things, work 12 hour shifts at my job, and go without food for a couple of weeks so I could get a 7D. Thank you, Mr. Bloom for making DSLR filmmakers legit.

[timetotravel]

Great job. Love this video.

[Anton338]

Sweet video!! Would have been the cherry on top if you motion tracked the fretboard at the end with the credits ;D

[Jak00125]

Thanks for the vid. Magic Bullet is a godsend to all indie filmmakers. I need to save up for a 7D.

[MiddayFilms]

I just got a 7d check my test footage out.

[lolerwaffles]

getting kicked in the ass for money is probably the most clever way of bumming it.. Great video, really captures the carni freakshow in venice

[HenriHolland]

reminds me the film "Lords of dogtown"

focus, colors, quality - perfect

[Bombingmonkeyz]

lol this vid is amazing!

[TheCostary]

Wat settings did u use to shoot this video.

Lovr it

[claydrummer05]

this is beautiful

[HighStandardsMusic]

Dude at 4:15 looks like charlie Sheen.

[vgdd4]

do you dslr users, absolutely have to use a 1.4 lens aperture?

[Steve181]

@vgdd4 I don't know what you mean exactly? I've got a canon 50mm 1.4. Shooting wide open at 1.4 with my lens has it's positives & negatives, it all depends on what I'm shooting & what I want the shot to look like. If I was shooting in low light & my subject was close up I might choose to bump up the ISO instead & lower the aperture (i.e a higher aperture #) that way I could get my entire subject in focus compared to if I was shooting at 1.4 which would have a thin depth of field in this instance

[MarsArmy123456]

Does anyone know the name of the song?

[xiongsnx]

The military provides you with all kinds of opportunities to better yourself. If you neglected to take advantage of those opportunities, you end up on the street and blame other folks for your poor choices.

[souledcheap]

Philip, do you have any recommendations for smooth zooming using 7D for video?

I'm new to using SLR for video, but am not new to shooting video.

Thanks!

[TheNoNameUsername]

wait where is this?

[jackroges1]

friend that lens did you use?

thanks!

[xIIIxViperxIIIx]

@jackroges1 sigma 30mm f1.4

see the link in the discription :)

[abbiewrighthsu]

@zorrokun i believe this space among what is semi pro and pro is little these days. d7000 is all we all want. visit... freedslr . c0m change 0 with o and take a chance to bring home completely new Nikon D7000

[jubbosubbo]

1:56 - Steve Buscemi!! This is an epic clip mate, nice work.

[memoriasdeangelo]

Nice video! How did you edit it?

[dillinger2k]

Love the video, true artistic treat of dslr! Simply fantastic, and i also respect the photojournalistic aproach! /Andy - Sweden

[Battlecry45]

iv got to get this cam to...

[Gspsx]

good job.

[psyclistic]

Philip, did you use any sort of stabilization or rigging when shooting? I have a DSLR, and adjusting the focus while shooting video without making jerky shots seems damn near impossible. Cool vid. Well edited and shot. I love the Venice boardwalk.  That place is nuts.

[diwash9612425]

Felt like you needed microphone external one would be better

[B52BOMBER73]

AMAZING VIDEO MAN!!!! :) Loved the music and everything!!! :)

[SurTensionMusic]

Beautiful video...

[Gidis96]

Oh man ,the best video I have watched :)

[jfssatr]

Did you use the camera mic?

[thaolac]

what lens did you use?

[jfssatr]

Hey! I Really liked it i want to learn, what filters you used??

please respond!!

[vwlover94]

The guy at 0:20 he should be an actor seriously!!! hes got the voice and the looks!!!

[dakinehawaiian79]

that was pretty heavy. loved it and great job.

[HakjamEntertainment]

Good video

[HakjamEntertainment]

Good video. It is a shame how veterans are treated.

[2005cbc]

fuck all your youtube comments..people are so worried about lenses and magic bullet and what mic you use...the guy is speaking truth about old war vet getting treated..forget it u brain wash fools LOL

[yommomalama]

this is so cool!, all these Venice Beach videos on youtube are fantastic!, makes me want to visit CA again.

[xavlexav]

I just Love your work Phillip.

Please could you tell me : what compression do you use ? Pro Res 422 ? And then Mpeg4 ?

What's your compression workflow to have such a wonderful image quality ?

please please please ;)

[tanmy85]

Did you use any kind of micro shoulder mount to steady the camera or did you use a tripod?

[philipbloom]

@tanmy85 check out the blog post linked it the details...

[tanmy85]

@philipbloom thanks!

[tanmy85]

@philipbloom

Thank you!

[tanmy85]

@philipbloom I thinking about getting the tactical shooter but I found something called a Target shooter. Is that different from the Tactical shooter?

[tanmy85]

@philipbloom can you give me a link to the vari ND/Fader ND that you used?

[philipbloom]

The mic is called "rode video mic" that is the model of it

[ronaldinho91]

@philipbloom phillip how did you prevent the horrible hissing sound that i get when i use the mic plugged directly into my 550d?

[skateemerica134]

Theres a problem with the 7D... its to amazing.

[Podegra]

good job, man.

[samcharlton]

This is awesome - I used to be in the area a lot and the Wine-o is a genius.

"You can be a hero, support your local wine-o!"

[Curpizza]

It seems to be recorded using autolevels?

[monooo879]

hey dude! awesome film...

[bojoni]

he just used a rodevideo mic with this

[TrialTian]

Does anyone know why I stalled MBL but don't have "Looks" in the MBL effects list?

[philipbloom]

@TrialTian it;s called Magic bullet looks

[160BANGUP]

LMFAO!! @ 2:36 "September the 14th, down the street from where September the 11th died" ...Priceless!!

Seriously tho, great job!

[hotsizzleakadafizz]

Glad you captured the sad reality of our veterans. It's disgusting what the do to these soldiers who fought for our freedom!

[Tovicladiesmen777]

what a great sound!!how u do that??/

[dakzomo]

How did you record the audio?? Anyone have any ideas? And what lens did you use??

[dakzomo]

How the hell did you record the audio?? anyone know??!! It sounds soo good!! And what lens did you use?

[RaNdOmLuRk]

This is the first video I ever saw of what the Canon 7d can do. I fell in love instantly and had my mind set on getting it. Should have it in a few weeks or so!

[TokyoZeplin]

@RaNdOmLuRk If you were just in it for the video, you should have gone for the Canon 550D, cheaper, but same video capabilities!

[wolfmanravel]

very, very good, the magic bullet and the 7d is incredible... parabens pelo belo resultado, adorei esse vídeo, congratulation

[peter1080p]

[RedPanther1]

THE 7D IS THE ONE RIGHT UNDER THE T1I RIGHT

[morrowindwaytoomuch]

@RedPanther1 no

[RedPanther1]

@morrowindwaytoomuch nvmi wasnt as educated as i am now today the 7d is the one above the t2i

[morrowindwaytoomuch]

@RedPanther1 Yup

[patrick1232767]

Amazing video

[infosoftify]

sometimes subjects are out of focus, cant you use auto focus? superb video quality excelent sound quality. thank you

[flyaroundtheroom]

@infosoftify there is no auto focus on the 7d

[RealtyStudioHD]

Amazing quality and sound! What lens did you use? Also, how in the world did you get such good audio???

[Garrrske]

what did you use to record the audio? It sounds fantastic!

[Mixakoatlh]

HOW DID YOU RECORD THE AUDIO?

[philipbloom]

@MrRaptur3 all sound was captured with a Rode Video Mic plugged into the camera That was it. No sound crew. just me and the 7D.

[philipbloom]

@Mixakoatlh all sound was captured with a Rode Video Mic plugged into the camera That was it. No sound crew. just me and the 7D.

[philipbloom]

[nicolmedia]

@philipbloom I have a 7D and a Rode Video Mic, it sounds awful, whats your secret?

[SunsetRC]

@philipbloom Can you share which Rode mic it was?

[leroibonois]

@philipbloom the sound still clear at 3:28 ! i cant believe you did it with a pluged mic in your canon! its to far away from the camera .

[Loonne]

Great work. Would pay for it... Cheers

[VLALOUX]

Very nice job !

[kunalbangia]

fucking beautiful

[ibsprintin]

this looks like it was done in fcp.

[AshKilamande]

@ibsprintin maybe it was..

[brettsk8]

this was spectacular Philip! I love how you captured so much of Venice and really how people live.. emotion is rarely shown about venice.

[DBHkid]

loved it

[theclockstickin]

lol i recognize all those fuckin bums 

[GlowaMightyVibes]

@theclockstickin

Me eighter. Jumped over each one of them playing Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2.

[Vedomediagroup]

LOVE The video, Nice Job.... Would you be so kind to Please, Please Give us the Setting you use on the camera???? and how did you export the video, to make it look HD without having to click the 720p option on youtube... PLEASE.....

[dayboyy24]

omgggg what lens did you use?

[laurentube76]

....of course it is..."graded version" didn't see it...

[laurentube76]

is that footage color corrected ?? Anyway it is pretty awesome !!!

[DjhushaTV]

how did you blur your background using the 7d?

[robintimothycard]

@DjhushaTV just use a wide aperture setting. It's the number with f next to it. Lower is shallower depth of field = blur background.

[lekancir]

Hi there, really nice video. I would like to ask you(and the others) what do you do to not have jittery video when filming in 24p. Obviously I try not to shake my hands when filming, lol. Where is the trick, is that "corrected" on a timeline?. Everyone says that filming in 24p is better, but I don't see it in my footage. Sorry, just starting with Canon 7D. Thanks for help.

[MyDoortotheworld]

@lekancir i don't have the 7D but i know that you have to set the shutter speed 1/48 if recording in 24p

[fedofido]

great work 

[nickhansbauer]

this is REALLY REALLY good!!! you should be proud of yourself, i'd love to shoot something like this once!

[8Trigramz]

Ooo..cutting last words by the vietnam vet. I totally empathize with him though.

Btw, what did you use to record the sound with?

[futurehollywood22]

at 00:27 id pay that guy a lot for that hat omg

[DoCWaSaBe]

the 7d is the mirical of cameras, i just with the 1080 had 50 and 60 speeds, but nothing is perfect i guess =/

[Tauro010]

love it!

[XavierCandiani]

Love for you.

[djtwelvetwo]

Very nice!!!! What lens did you use?

[AnthonyArroyoFilms]

Very good. This is one of the best thing I have seen shot on a 7D.

[TheRvzx]

PERFECT.

[Struck305]

Loved it, tight work.

[ydrai]

[felixbrix]

[BrotherStove]

Amazing work! I love the look you got with this camera. And Magic Bullet Looks too. :) Great job!

[nizarone1]

[jimbobeanster]

[srosefx]

[rmstudio]

Venice is a crap hole.. Anyone that has lived there will tell you... "Yet Tourist flock there.." "Oh Yah and the bums"

[scotttgross]

k wait, what lens is this?

[SouthFloridaVideos]

Canon 7d was used on one of the MUSIC videos on my page called "YOU DON'T WANNA TEST THIS".

[tenayo66]

Love this.

[AtlantiXYL]

great color

[neen0brown]

[TheRmiBoys]

now THIS is the kind of atmosphere id LOVE to live in. very unusual and never boring. my kinda style.

[rubent100]

great stuff, what is your work flow for uploading to youtube? codec and container?

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

HAHAHA, the 1$ for ass kicks guy is so awesome! I did a lot of growing up on the boardwalk so naturally, I really fucking love this flick.

there are so many "New York's" in Venice.

I love the homeless, they're so friendly. this is good work man, good job. really nostalgic for me.

[Farma101]

Really nice piece, love the sunset shot at 4:50

[Artsall]

Great docu type of reel. Very nicely done, lovely pictures, nice work of camera.

[dayuhanspace]

the audio sounds great!

[trigga1uk]

haha, 1:46 - i saw that guy there in 2005 doing that, cant believe hes still there!

[trigga1uk]

venice has gone downhill since i was there. Last time i saw it it was full of canals and gondalas and italian people.

[unclegus]

nice movie

[Aojst]

I just bought a Canon 7D and it is amazing! What did you record audio with?

[bansheebot2]

If this place is so "magical", then why don't the bums make themselves disappear?

[IanCrossland]

there's two types of magic man

[yesilike101]

Yes, healthcare. Ready or not its going to pass. But what comes with it. Dont tell anybody but Mo Govt. employees with salaries. Take out your checkbook America, you are paying for their salaries like you do for the DMV. Dont pay go to jail. So shut up and pay our salaries. Remember, there 4 millions new excellent workers that want to get pay. So pay on time else Incarerated

[tylertvvideos]

Always love your work, inspires me to shoot better.

Also inspires me to send Canon a lot of money. :)

[thepickupchick]

Awesome!! Love it there!

[SeleneCast00]

I love it here, I've only been here once and I will forever remember it. It's like a dream, nothing seems real, but it is.

[elsoda]

i went to venice beach two weeks ago and all i have to say is...WHAT A MAGICAL place! i loved it there!

[crazyboll7]

so clear =o
