Did you shoot the intro? It looks great

[NextWaveG]

@CoryHeimann Yes. We shot it on a 550D with a Zeiss 50mm f1.4 and a macro adapter.

Great tutorial but you should insert video examples to illustrate what you are talking about (shutter speed, grain, white balance ...)

[PhilippeFreestyle]

great tutorial! I look appreciate that you put that much effort in your videos, but the thing is, that it would be better if you would show us directly on your hdslr what consequences the different settings are having, especially for people who's mother language isn't english. just a tip, but seriously, keep it going, great work!

Not sure I understand about the shutter speed in relation to the florescent lights. If the lights are say 60Htz then what should my shutter speed be? 1/60 of a second??Also is it the same in Canada as USA?

Thanks,

Hunter

What I have heard is that Canon will update the 7D before upgrading the 5D Mark II. W/ the Sony Alphas having better auto focus during video shooting in their SDLRs (while still not great) is a step in the right direction for competion!

I do have a question: When shooting videos with the 5D, The mirror stays up, the 1st and 2nd curtains stay open so what goes on in the camera when manually changing the shutter speed during video shooting with the 5D? Is it with the electronics

@JPettsProductions The difference is that the canon 5d mark 2 is more affordable than the red one. However the Red one has more to offer in a cinematic sense, due to it's available options. But we are talking a full on cinematic camera vs a D-slr meant for the general public and professionsals alike. I believe the more affordable red ones they have coming out just wont be able to compete with the canon slr's. But thier 25k camera has alot to offer, if you are working on a full production set.

Great Video...what I wanted to know,which one is better. I have a Canon Hv30 but I am about to pick up a Canon 6D.
