    Gorgeous - what did you grade with? What sort of transition is that with the film flicker/burn?! Great work!
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    Thx I used magic bullet looks and the transition is made from a video (burned film)

    at 00:55 what DOF you use???? f 2.8? also do you think 28mm f1.8is not wide as 24mm, do you want upgrade to 24 or 20 mm???? none canon lens?
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    it was my 85mm @ f1.8
    28mm is wide enough for me, using a 24 or 20mm will be too wide for the things I shot

  • bryan andrew lee 1 year ago
    Great stuff bro, only suggestion is the film burns. They actually go a lighter color (rather then dark) and they fill up most of the screen rather then being transparent. Beyond that, fantastic shots and beautiful grading. Keep it up!

    Thx Bryan for the comment & the tips :)

    Des fois sur vimeo on tombe sur des perles, et c'est le cas avec cette vidéo ! J'ai fais lecture avant de lire quoi que ce soit et je me suis dis : mais c'est en France !!

    En tout cas merci pour ces 3 minutes de bonheur !
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    Merci Johan, des commentaires comme le tien font plaisir :)

    Tu croyais que c'était ricain au début ?

    Oui, comme la plupart des vidéos que je regarde sur Vimeo viennent de chez l'oncle sam ou d'Asie j'ai été agréablement surpris !

    Beautiful. You convey so much emotion through the smallest of details. The actress is also stunning. I look forward to seeing more from you both in the future.

  • Galkin Team plus 1 year ago
    This is beautiful. I am saving up for a Canon 7D, but all the footage I've seen form the 5D Mark IIs is making me wanna buy them! I am learning French, so I wanted to give you a compliment in French as well:

    Je suis étonné par votre travail. Il est très beau.

    Hope that even makes sense :)
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    Thanks for the compliment in French :) it has sense !
    the DOF of the 7D is easier to manage than the 5D one.

    Please tell me how you anchor text to a position in the video, its a wonderful effect and I can't do it! Lovely vid.
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    Thx I've done it with after FX and a tracking !
  • Matt Miles plus 1 year ago
    so you put the whole video through AE once its done just to add titles and the re render it out...?
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    No just the footage where we have the title
  • Matt Miles plus 1 year ago
    Wooo I did it! Thank man
  •  
  • Aaron Palabyab 1 year ago
    Thanks for delivering on the promise of the title - there's so much 5D work that's just about pretty faces and nothing else, but you managed to actually make me feel something! Great work, lovely actress too.
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    Thx to you Aaron, nice that you enjoyed it !
  •  
  • Jon-Luke Lourens 1 year ago

  • very very cool

  • Nice video David. Here is my comment:

    First, the cinematography of this piece is a strong point, is really well done: lights, colours, DOF and the shots makes the video very watchable. Some times you can imagine some shots in a feature film (like 00:53 sequence or 03:16), then you can see shots more adaptable to music videos like 02:41, and shots more documentary-like (02:59)

    So the point is that you're showing a range of versatility. I advice that you can keep working on a style first and then try the others...

    There is a shaky shots when the actress walk, i think this happened maybe for the tool used, i can see that you know how to apply AE, so maybe next time try to stabilize a little the image and see if it's better..

    About the song, it fits really well into the atmosphere created by the colours and the tone of the video (kind of nostalgic, kind of cheerfull and a bit of sadness -hehe this is what i felt) so, nice composition there. And was a good idea mix some street sound effect to complement the music.

    Last, the burned film sometimes transform a good video into a cliche video, i don't think this is the case because you didn't abuse of it.

    Well this was my long comment, hehe.

    Keep uploading vids.

    cheers!
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Elena for this very usefull comment :)

    The different styles that we can have into this short film is probably to the fact that most of shots have been improvised. When shooting this short, I has some bad feelings (when moving some stuff I found some old pictures of an ex girlfriend then I was sad & melancolic) I decided to shoot the day after in order to share my feelings.

    About the shaky shot, I tried to stabilize it but I'm a begginner on AE and I was a little bit lazy to work more on this shot :(

    I discovered and heard this song again and again when I found those pictures. I thought that it was great for that kind of short film.

    I'm happy that I gave you feelings (it was its goal :) ) this is a kind of experimental movie, no really story, don't think just feel... and use your own experiences to create your own end of this movie.

    Is she dead ? Was it just a dream ? or have you just broke up with her ?

    Thanks to you Elena.
    In May there will be a new one shot the same week.

    David
  • Yes David, i can notice the improvisation in the vid but it is good because it shows that you can create different styles. That's why i wrote you about trying one style at the time and explode it (later, when is not something kind of experimental)

    Is great that you give the right feeling, sometimes sound simple but is the hardest thing to make.

    So keep making this experiments with music, i want to make those experiments too but i don't have my own cam (yet) hehe.

    I will be checking in May, then.

    Cheers.

    Great Video. You have a nice natural style and eye for the camera.

    Of the 3 lenses, which one did you end up using the most?
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    Thx Alex I used the 85mm f1.8 most !
  •  
  • Jean Marc ROCFORT plus 1 year ago
    Très belle utilisation de la lumière et de la couleur !!
    J'aime le côté sans prétention, le 5D porté, spontané, proche de la vie, caméra-stylo :))

    Très beau. J'aime l'effet sur le titre du film "Feelings" qui suit le mouvement de la caméra dans l'intro. Et de très jolies couleurs. Bravo
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    Merci beaucoup Bernard, j'essaie de retranscrire ce que je ressens :)

  • Fabrys plus 1 year ago
    J'ai vu Ashes en premier, cependant je préfère peut être celui ci car il est plus optimiste, même si je pense que Ashes est légèrement meilleur techniquement. L'émotion est aussi déjà la, un beau bokeh, de bons acteurs et la musique qui retranscrit bien l'émotion des images... C'est simple, c'est beau... et MB Looks fait des merveilles içi ;)

  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    I don't know I work with the 5D only

  • Gab BT plus 1 year ago
    You said you used

    Lenses : 28mm f1.8 / 50mm f1.4 / 85mm f1.8

    Are they Canon Lenses? Or Sigma? Zeiss?
  • David Dang plus 1 year ago
    Canon only !
  • Gab BT plus 1 year ago
    Very nice. Have you used Zoom Lenses for filming?
    I'm thinkinf of getting the Tamron 28-75 with constant aperture of 2.8. It would be a nice all around lense.
    Then I would get probably 1-2 prime lenses with greater aperture like a 85mm with 1.8.

    What do you think?
  • Gab BT plus 1 year ago
    I'm scared the sharpness of a zoom lens wouldnt be as good as on a Prime lense.
  • Alec Kinnear 1 year ago
    Video is lower res than stills so any good lens will work, including old Takumars or OM lenses. You don't need auto focus for video (in fact manual focus lenses are an advantage on the 5D Mark II).
  • //Slash// plus 1 year ago
    Very True Alec,

    I'm personally using Super Takumars with my 5d and the quality is just Gorgeous for what it cost... My 50mm f1.4 cost me 45$... if you are doing video than you should look for those kind of lenses, i've also heard that manual lenses are actually sharper than AF ones...To make them fit on the 5d you'll need a M42 to EOS adapter!

    Watch that you'll understand:
