lol i was looking up fims shot with Canon 550D/600D and came up with this. I was amazed to see a such a high quality video shot at my school, SFU.

Excellent video!!! What fps did you shoot this in? You got some really smooth slow mos in there..also, what program did you use to create the animation in the beginning?

@dgatan

Mostly 24p for the bulk of it. The high speed shots were done with a different camera. Casio EX-F1. For the motion graphics I used Apple Motion.

Heya! We used two cameras, the t2i and the casio ex-f1 for some of the high speed shots in the intro. t2i is pretty cheap nowadays. I saw it w/ the stock 18-55 lens at the store for around 599.99. when i bought it in 2010 it was 999.99 :P

[papan1990]

How long have these fighters been trained in martial arts?

[papan1990]

@hybridmovement Its a brilliant video my friend. I have 2 questions. 1. Did you shoot the entire film with just one Cannon T2i? 2. How much does it cost?

@MostlyGeek

Heya, depends on what type of work you'll be doing with the t2i. If you're shooting a lot of portrait photography I'd at least get something like a 50mm prime (1.8 or 1.4 if you have the money). If you're shooting wildlife or sports from far away get a zoom lens that goes up to 200mm or something close. Personally, I like to have 3 lenses available whenever I'm shooting action scenes. A 50mm prime, a zoom with 18-55mm, and a wide lens in the area of 10-20mm. Hope that helps!

Really Amazing Oo

[MostlyGeek]

I'm planing to purchase my first DSLR it's going to be T2i, can someone explain to me how to pick lens?
