Another test with the f1.4d lens in the backyard, I shot this handheld, wasn't so bad to control, maybe I'm getting better at it...

    I'm itching to see your latest D90 video but Vimeo is being slow and hasn't posted yet.

    I DL'd it but it was all skippy in QT so I played it in VLC. Another great job using the D90 and editing was top notch. Your whole family is beautiful and keep up the good work. I also wanna see you with a steadycam and D90, that would be great.

    Thank you Jordan for your kind words, I will probably try to make a homemade steadicam... I would love to buy a merlin but they are way to expensive. maybe something like this: vimeo.com/1285705

    Let me ask you what type of SDHC card did you use? nikon keeps saying they will only take a few types and I really want to try one of the faster ones.

    Roland, you're very talented in capturing heart warming moments. She's lovely...

    ...from what I could see because the video doesn't work on Vimeo and the AVC codec used in the download does play jerky in QT on Mac.


    By the way if you're bothered by stairsteps:

    Thanks Martin, really appreciate your comments.

    The problem with playing the downloaded file in QT was a bad compression from Premiere CS3, I compressed the file with Sorenson and this time it seems ok...

    Thanks for the link about the stairsteps.

    Looks great, did you grade/colour correct !?

    The colours look great.
  • Roland Cadieux plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Tynan,

    I did some CC in premiere CS3, just played with contrast and saturation a bit.

    Roland, this is the finest of all the D90 clips that I have seen on the web. Many D90 clips have issues, and yours sing. Besides using a prime, at 1.4, and a little CC, were there any steps you took to keep the ISO/shutter speed low? Did you use NDs in front of the lens? Any additional tips for D90 users? You have the best footage. Thank you for posting the tests. this guy also impressed me , though with a very different look: vimeo.com/1909407
    Thanks again. B
  • Roland Cadieux plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Benny!

    The iso and shutter speed constantly adjust in live view but you can stop the camera from acting like this by pressing AE-L (you need to change it to HOLD in the menu)

    What I do is, I move the camera until what I see in live view pleases me than I press AE-L. If I want a darker image I move the camera in a brighter direction and brighter one in a darker direction... hope it make sens :)

    I didn't use any ND filter.

    Merci Emmanuel,

    Effectivement la compression aide pas beaucoup, Pour ce qui est de la définition de l'image, lorsque le sujet est static parfois je focus en mode automatique avant de filmer, un sujet en mouvement est très difficile a suivre en focus manuel, ca demande beaucoup de pratique.

    Par contre les images les plus nettes que j'ai obtenues proviennent d'un focus manuel.

    A part ca pas de truc spécial... :)

    I showed this video to my wife and she gave me the go ahead to buy a D90. Thanks for that. I've had it now for 2 weeks and love it. This week I'm buying the 50mm 1.4 lens. Can you tell me what song that is in this video? Thanks.
  •  
  • Barry Milligan 11 months ago
    Sorry just saw you answered that question already. Love your videos!!
  • Roland Cadieux plus 11 months ago
    Thank you Barry!

    I'm Happy that you got the go ahead for the D90 :)

    You will love the 50mm 1.4 lens, especially for portraits and DOF.

    By the way the title is "So they say" by J Gaines & The Soul Attorneys.

    Stunning footage. I can't believe this is shot on a DSLR. I bought a D80 last year after using an F60 for the last 5 years. I've been wanting to get the 50 f/1.4 for a long time, but now I want a D90 and a Steadicam too!

    Again, very very nice footage, the your kids are so cute, and the video captures the innocence of youth so so well. I can picture pretty much any song from Don Henley's "end of the innocence" album going well with this.
  •  
  • Roland Cadieux plus 11 months ago
    Thanks Markku!

    I will keep in mind Don Henley's songs for futures clips. Great ideas.

    Is it possible to get that video quality (by d90) with 18-105 VR lens? I have d90 with that lens and I simple can't get that good quality, not even in half. How to get that HD quality? Can you tell some settings to this, or I have to get 50mm 1.4 lens? I will be very happy for some help. And what is your video display resolution? Like 1280x720 - is it HD? I will look some answer from You. Thanks! :)
  • Roland Cadieux plus 9 months ago
    You can achieve great video quality with the stock lens, I did this one with it : vimeo.com/1775787 and I saw a lot of very nice one on vimeo, you have to do some trial and error and you will find the right setting.

    720p (1280x720) is one of the "HDTV" resolutions. So yes it is HD.

    Roland, what is DOF adapter actually? What's DOF..? Sorry if it sounds stupid, but i'm new with this, and i just don't know. I will ask so more questions, since you make so great shoots with your D90. So seriously thinking of changing my 1 week new Canon SX1. Maybe i just don't know how to work with it:)
  • Roland Cadieux plus 9 months ago
    Here is a link Kiro, DOF (Depth of Field); en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field You can achieve great Depth of Field with the D90.

    your d90 videos have inspired me to purchase one! so i probably will trade in my d40 and see how much i can come up with!
  • Roland Cadieux plus 9 months ago

    Very nice, i'm interested in the D90. I notice though it never really gets super sharp. Is that how it looks even in the original HD file? Is it the focus when you're shooting, the hardware limitation or the conversion? Thanks, makes me even more interested in getting one of these (though i'm primarily taking stills).

    great video, Roland.

    I'd like to know, what's the background music artist and name?
