    Best parade video I have seen by far. You really captured the feel of the fans, etc. I'm a bit jealous of the Canon 7D. I bought my Nikon D300 before they had the option for HD video. Really beautiful work!

    Thanks Sharon...the 7D is awesome...I have only shot a few times on it but it is amazing...

    Torin,
    Great Videos ... what filters did you use on the video in Post Production?

    Love to find out.

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks Mark..I used Magic Bullet Looks...glad you like it

    Torin -

    Are you using a follow focus? Seems like you have no trouble pulling focus smoothly without adding shakiness. And, great work with the Monopod - you achieve the same steady shots that I can get with my steadicam.....
  • Torin Simpson plus 1 year ago
    Randy..no follow focus...I just got the camera recently so I have yet to really invest in any add ons yet. I am glad you like the video and the monopod is pretty awesome for when you are on the move...thanks again

    Hi Torin -

    Thanks for the quick response. I live in SF too, and couldn't make it to the parade. My friends who did make it told me that out of all the videos they have seen, including news footage montages, that yours most accurately captures the excitement. I have the feeling that your 1700 views are about to be catapulted in to the 100k's.

    A few more questions from someone who like you, is new to the DSLR world. I have a 5d mark II, and I sometimes get hiccups or blips when I am recording. This is especially true when I am panning, or moving around with my steadicam. Do you have this problem at all with the 7d?

    Lastly, what type of Monopod are you using?

    Thanks, and sorry for all the questions.
  •  
  • Torin Simpson plus 1 year ago
    Randy--
    I hope it gets into the 100k's...that would be awesome. I haven't seen blips or hiccups, but I have seen the jello effect when panning quickly...which I have heard a lot about. The monopod was a loner and I didn't check to see which one it was...IF u have any more questions feel free to ask...thanks

    Torin,
    Did you use the 7D for all of the Audio? ... how do you feel the audio is compared say to using a Sony HVRZ5U ... or even the sound quality on a Sony PD-150 or 170 ... something where you can split channels?
    I thought all the sound was rich and amazing.
  • Torin Simpson plus 1 year ago
    The audio is all from the 7D...The quality is ok so far...some things came in over modulated...but for the most part it worked out well....Glad you like the vid

    This is a fabulous video, currently making its way around Facebook. Though you don't think so, you so captured the true essence and pure excitement of a parade of this magnitude. The Earth, Wind and Fire song was a great background choice and there's nothing better than a marching band in a parade. You captured so many of the personal things - the posters, the bell ringing on the firetruck, the policeman giving direction, the confetti, the chanting-even Dianne Feinstein and Tom Hayden!

    It looks like you were everywhere. Did you just take a specific spot on the route or were you walking? Whatever, it was a great video. Couldn't stop smiling.
  • Torin Simpson plus 1 year ago
    Karyn...thanks for the kind words...glad you like the video...I walked 2/3's of it started at the front of the parade and slowly just passed by things that caught my eyes...eventually I jumped on lincecum's trolley towards the end and got some moving shots...

    Simply amazing. I had join vimeo just to tell you. I love the Giants and photography/videography. You're living my dream! I was at both events you shot video for. Your videos totally captured the mood. You and these videos rock! And, great use of the Cal band! Go Bears! Delicious! Love it.

    Wow, You Nailed it! Love the Cal Band Playing "In the Stone" by Earth Wind and Fire - one of my favorite songs to fire me up! The video perfectly capture the joy, the sea of fans mashed together, the unity of "Lets Go Giants" and even an U -Ribe, chant. Perfect!
  • Torin Simpson plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Moises...glad u liked the vid

    One week later and I'm still getting the chills from watching this. I was at Civ Center that day. Big mistake... This makes me wish I was on Market instead! FANTASTIC VIDEO.

    BTW, how did you get this access? The 50mm makes it look like you were like 5 feet away from most of the action. I know it's a crop sensor and all, but again, great capture!
  • Torin Simpson plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Greg...I actually work for the Giants so I was free to roam the parade

    Great video! Followed your tsizzle.com link to view some of your other work. Clicked the "Contact Us" section and it seemed like a broken link.
  • BayAreaMike 1 year ago
    Your work is excellent; I just want to make sure people can tell you that, and more importantly, offer you opportunities to make some cash.

    I think Archishop Riordan High School's band was behind Cal. Too bad because Cal was on fire! And you say it was hard to catch the energy! The force was with you at the parade. This is a video work of art! Congratulations and thank you!
  • Torin Simpson plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Cynthia

    Torin, I just want to say "thank you" from my fam and I. That morning we made the one day trip from LA for the historic parade. I personally, had waited 28 yrs for it and through your video we're able to relive, just for a moment, the sights, and sounds and chills. It will NEVER grow old. Thanks again.
  • Torin Simpson plus 1 year ago
    I am glad that this video means so much to you and so many other Giants fans...Thanks Steve

    Great video man! I was there in front of city hall so I didn't get very good shots of the parade but your video totally captured the moment. I'm sure I'll look back on your video fondly for years to come. Go Giants!

    Thanks Derek. Watch as many times as you like. Glad you like it.
