DSLR Actionfilm (Canon 550D/Rebel t2i/7D)

After using my Canon 550D/Rebel t2i for shooting different project the past months, I decided that I wanted to make an actionfilm to test it even more. I bought a new lens for my camera: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, and a field sound recorder: Zoom ZOH4NK H4n and a boompole so I could record much better sound, and get closer to the object with the shotgun microphone.

We filmed everything during one day with a Canon 7D and Canon EOS 550D on homemade shoulder-rigs, and used only natural light (the sun and the existing lamps on location). I used Final Cut Pro to edit the film and Color to colorcorrect. I added blood bursts, muzzle flashes, gun-shells and so on in After effects.

I hope you enjoy the film! :) Homesite: www.axp.no

This video is amazing,it makes me feel good that i just got the t2i,now gotta order some guns.

Very, very impressive! I am pleased with how well the 550D handles fast motion too. I'm absolutely sold on this camera now.

Thanks for the example and a really, really well made short!

quick question what did you bounce the video to quicktime, mpeg, avi h.26 and what was your video bitrate

[xamdogg1]

Awesome video!

[vladoportos]

very nice, did you use ZOH4NK as microphone ( imputed it to canon ) or record separately and join audio in post ?

[LoopyNacho4]

TO THE PEOPLE THAT WANT PROP GUNS: You can use you airsoft guns(unloaded) as props. Or you can get cheap airsoft guns online for 10 bucks. You can cover the orange tips up BUT make sure everyone knows that the guns are prop. Or that old lady will call in the SWAT team.

Anders, you are like my idol. (My name is also Anders :D ) You inspired me to get the 550D and have helped me alot with your films and given me alot of inspiration.

I hate it when people ask for people to watch there videos but It seems like the only way to get some views and feedback. So I'm gonna ask all of you guys to have a look on my channel if you are bored. I have recently started out with making films. My first serious film came out today actually.

@RetroRepair in case you still haven't bought the 550d the 600d has better upgrade options for wireless flash, or was it sound?
