2. The Last Outpost
10 months ago
In this survival tale, a hiker emerges from a snow covered mountain to find a remote cabin. The rescuer inside takes action to become a hero.
This is our first short narrative film shot on the Canon 5D Mark II. The only lenses used were a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 and a Canon 70mm - 300mm f/4-f/5.6.
The film was edited on Vegas, and includes full color grading. It looks pretty good, but we've learned some tricks during the process that will improve and simplify our next project.
The music is 100% original. We produced all of the music and sound effects. The only sound remaining that we recorded on location is the moan, and it was captured with the onboard mic.
Personally, I think the mix rocks. TURN IT UP! :)
Let us know how you like it.

Besides that, I think the quality of the video is great.
Nicely shot, edited and graded.
Simple and fun and harmless. Good Show!
Make some more? That's our plan!
Our next project is ~ The Murder of Dirk Snowglobe ~ at DirkSnowglobe.com. Dirk is a private detective who believes that he is dead as he goes about solving murder cases in Borderton, a city in decay. Oh, and it's a comedy!
Shooting starts later this month. You can see our first clues at the site.
You can see our previous work (sadly, with lower production quality than we can now do with the 5DM2 - but still funny), at ColonelCrush.com
Congratulations on getting the 5D MkII!
We edited using a very low resolution proxy (270x480) using the Cineform Codec. It gave real time playback on a modest system, letting us set the edits accurately. We used a custom macro to switch back to the original files for high-resolution color checking and the final render.
To fight the crushed blacks, we made a custom profile that attempted to correct for the well documented Quicktime 0-255 RGB problem. Since then, somebody discovered that by re-wrapping the Quicktime file as an MP4, Vegas can see the crushed blacks and whites.
For details on how to fix it, please see this thread: dvinfo.net/conf/canon-eos-5d-mk-ii-hd/141569-quicktime-rewrap-vegas.html
But for me, it's the audio that I'd want to play for Murch. The only live sound in the whole thing is the zombie scream. Every footstep, the pouring coffee, the gunshots, the slurp - everything - was recorded separately and edited in.
Good to see you here! "Dickishness" IS a big word. :)
