good job Duncan. Not my ideal camera for something like that!!
duncan sharp 1 year ago

mine neither but couldnt take a pro ENG camera into the country
nigel walker 1 year ago

Nice Duncan. Did you feel less threatened with the Canon?
duncan sharp 1 year ago

yes and no, you stand out less, but at the same time they still grabbed me and tried to take the camera. It was alot easier to get into the country with a stills camera rather than an Eng camera.
Matei-Alexandru Mocanu 1 year ago

not only solid, but this footage was also quite elegant, especially given the circumstances
Joe Sheffer 1 year ago

Duncan...how did you go about entering? Are you on a tourist visa?
Paul Reid 1 year ago

Nice camera work in tense environment. I would like the narration to be louder. The ambient street noise makes it difficult to understand.
andrew marshall 1 year ago

Good work Duncan. It helps to be able to blend into the crowd rather than become a target so the camera was your friend there. Did you have any rig to keep it steady?
duncan sharp 1 year ago

That was why I took it, certainly not an ideal camera to cover these sorts of events. In terms of rig - just my right and left hand - nothing else, the IS on the 24-105 is outstanding, without IS it would have been a nightmare, I also use a battery grip which helps with keeping it steady
Chris Duke 1 year ago

Very good job indeed. I agree with Paul that the narrator was hard to hear toward the end over the crowd noise. And I was going to ask about camera stabilization but Andrew took care of that already! Well done.

IS is a lifesaver. Keep asking Santa for a fast prime with IS, but he's ignoring me...

Great job. Well done nice work

Good job. I can highly recommend the journalist having a rode lavallier mic fed into a zoom h1 and sync up later in post. audio would be brilliant.
duncan sharp 1 year ago

thats exactly what I did, except I used a Tascam and Seinnheiser Lavallier mic. As I said earlier - the mix was fine for broadcast, as it was a split track mix, now that I have compressed it for vimeo it has mixed the tracks hence why the reporter sounds quiet in both stand up and voice track
www.carlpendle.com 1 year ago

Ahh...I see. Shame that it did that but great job anyway.
Jeffrey Butler 1 year ago

Nice camera work; fantastic lens, eh? I think that's actually a great camera for an "event" like that; mix didn't bother me any...
duncan sharp 1 year ago

thx, I did try to explain earlier that the mix was effected by the export changing it from split to mixed but after listening to it again on vimeo i dont see what the problem is, worth thinking about though the next time I export

Is this part of the reason I see the internet went down this morning in Egypt - good job on the coverage. --

One day, when I grow up I wanna do stuff like this !! ;)
irlicht 1 year ago

Nice work Dunkan. Sorry for question but which Sennheiser mic did you use?
duncan sharp 1 year ago

its a lapel mic, not sure of the model number - it needs powering though

What did you use to edit with FCP? The Eos plugin?
duncan sharp 1 year ago

I used a lexar fw800 cf card reader - log and transfer using Eos plugin into final cut

Ryan Prouty 1 year ago

Love how close you were able to get - well done!
Martijn Doornenbal 1 year ago

Great piece of work. It's good to finally watch the news from Egypt with some steady shots! Sometimes it feels like these news reports can only be made with all kinds of shaking-handheld-bourne-ultimatum-shots to make it feel more urgent... I'm glad you didn't do that!
duncan sharp 1 year ago

I certainly wouldnt be shaking the camera to give it a 'look' but sometimes if something is far away and your getting pushed and shoved its unavoidable, i was lucky that i was in enough space. Is very tricky with the limited focal length but if you can brace against something you can keep it pretty steady with the 70-200 as long as it has IS
James Drake 1 year ago

Dangerous situation. Solid footage for a sketchy scene.
Johnnie Behiri 1 year ago

Duncan, very well done!
Thanks for sharing.

I was filming for the BBC with the Canon 7d El Baradei when he left the nice and comfortable Vienna back to Egypt 2 days ago....It was the first time I have used the Canon 7d for pure ENG work and it worked well. I didn't bother with "good" audio for the "door step" interview at all. We planned ahead that my correspondent will record the interview on her Marantz and later I've synced it in Premiere.

Wow, powerful footage! Well done, please post more..
duncan sharp 1 year ago

hoping to post more, havnt been able to get great stuff since have had to do lives, will probably wait until I have some really strong stuff
Dan Chung 1 year ago

Just to say I spoke to Duncan by phone earlier. He is fine, but unable to get online at the moment due to the internet being cut. Lets hope he can send some more vid soon.
duncan sharp 1 year ago

will try and post more, was a shame last night we were stuck in the hotel with no way to feed since they shut down the hotel internet. few nice high shots but couldnt get anything close enough.
Laurens Neels 1 year ago

Wow, must have been impressive to be there. Great job, filming something like this with a dslr!
Pascal Schaffner 1 year ago

Respect to the people who risk that much to hold the mirror for us all to see.

I hope Egypt's people get what they want!
TR Umrani 1 year ago

Very nice work under those circumstances. Did you use a viewfinder and camera mounted mic for ambient sound?
duncan sharp 1 year ago

no camera mounted mic was used, no viewfinder - just the 5D with battery grip, 24-105 canon f4 IS. Ambient sound was done using the built in mic on the camera, The reporters audio was done using a Tascam DR100 and Seinheiser Lapel mic.
TR Umrani 1 year ago

Well, that makes it more impressive. I don't think I could have gotten proper focus without a viewfinder. Nice work.
duncan sharp 1 year ago

when the light allows i make sure im around f16, so i have a very large depth of field, there is no way you can rack focus while working in a riot / protest.

Powerful images Duncan that made me feel like I was there :) It would be great to see what you could do with a smaller camera like the GH2 in these situations.

Great Job Duncan, steady hand held shoots and once again this is a good example how 5DmkII can be used for ENG job.

Perfect job. It seems like a fiction shooting, with a DOP, a director and acting as in a script. All handheld in a dangerous situation! Chapeu, Duncan.

Great work mate, Im off to Syria to shoot a short factual Doc on its political views. Went over last year with a Sony cam, ridiculously strict. Hopefully the size of the 5D will help. What (brand) bag did you use for your gear on the go?
duncan sharp 1 year ago

It's a kata bag that I used when entering the country. While on the street ive been using a non branded small bag, it's kind of a girls bag but looks very non discript

On board sound very good it must be said. I'm really surprised the background noise was this good.

Definitely that looks like the missing google employee, Wael Ghonim, who was being dragged off by plainclothes police.

Dear Duncan,

Please, the shot starting 1:04, when exactly and where did you get them?? Please, it's urgent.

The boy being arrested look a lot like a friend and he has been missing.
Ahmed Al-Adawy 1 year ago

Mona this video was uploaded on thu 27th of Jan while Wael went missing after the events of Friday 28th
duncan sharp 1 year ago

the video was actually shot on the 26th so I really dont think its the same person. Have had another look through and it definitely looks like him but from what i understand he was seen on thursday and friday.
