This is a test of a style I'm thinking of using at some point, when I start making videos about Christianity. These are all still shots taken with the 60D's high speed burst mode.

Completely shot on a Canon 50mm f1.4 USM lens.

  • Love this... but do you know if the Sigma 50mm 1.4 is a better investment than the Canon? Thanks...

  • @michaelandcarina Sorry for the late reply. It would be a better investment only if you were doing a lot of stills photography at f1.4, and you needed as much high resolution sharpness as possible (i.e. higher resolution than video). That's where the Sigma shines. For everything else they're basically the same.

  • Very nice! Reminds me of something by Wong Kar Wai. You can achieve the same effect from video footage by skipping frames, then you'll have the audio also. I love that lens... but how did you get so many pictures from the burst mode? I thought the 60D could only take about six before the buffer fills...

  • @ximongray There's a couple of advantages to using this technique over removing frames. You have time to adjust settings and focus beofre taking the next picture. You can also use slow shutter speeds in dark conditions, which you can't do with video - and also the flash is available. With a separate flash you could do some very cool lighting. On the 60D the camera will continue to take shots after the buffer is full, except more slowly

see all

  • so I am planing to get 50 mm 1.4 do you recommended for me ? thx

  • I also own a 60D and Im also planning to buy this lens but many tell that its AF motor will fail soon after a couple of months. Is this true? anyway, it is better to focus manually right?

  • isn't this stop motion....

  • @ximongray 60D can do like 56jpegs before it started to slow

  • Love it! No other words... 

  • Very cool movie. Thanks for the idea. I like how you did the burst shots of the different every-day subjects. Cars and trees are pretty cool items to take shots of.

  • @ximongray 58 jpegs, 16 raw (you need a class 6 to class 10 SD card for this), recommend a class 10 sandisk extreme. great card.

    and you can trick it, if you take 16 and arent finished, just start another 16 at approx the same spot.

    :)
