1. I got you - Canon 5D - quick test

by Anna Thorbjörnsson

Using the new Canon 5D Mark II inside and outside in natural low light in Old Town in Stockholm.
The movie was shot with a 50mm EF-lens, f1,2.

No grading done, under post-production the only change in colour is the simple desaturation of all colours in some parts of the movie. Please comment on this one.

Music by The Knife.

Photographically superb and talent on both sides of the camera.

I am a little uncomfortable with mime (I really don't know why....maybe it's the pathos thing).

I feel that you probably need a stonger theme to hang all that talent on... a little more sense of direction.
The roots of mime are in the past, perhaps ,You are the one who is going to bring it kicking and screaming into the present century. (Silently of course).

I hope we will be seeing more from You,

Bob

Very nice!

The white balance could be a bit colder, K3500-4000.
Anna Thorbjörnsson 9 months ago

Thanks Dominic, Will probably do that in grading. Did it with the still photos that ewre shot at the same time. Also have some reds i might look at.

Well done. Color tone, incredible low-light abilities of the Mark II and tiny DOF of the 50mm/1.2 L add up beautifully! :)

I absolutely love this. Everything about it is wonderful, from the look and feel through to the actress. It has a magical quality about it.

Shows off the of the 5d Mkii very well. I'm still in two minds if to buy one. You have helped tip the balance in it's favour. Nicely shot. On a critical note, I think more fast cuts and focus pulling would have been nice.
Underground Planet 9 months ago

Really nicely done, the mood allowed by filming with natural lighting is stunning. If only this thing did 24p! I love the look regardless but just have a hard time wrapping my head around giving that up. =)

Absolutely beautiful video! Lovely actress and stunning photography.

At first i didn't know that the song belonged to the video. While i love the song, it don't seem to merge with the video.

Hello Anna,

I enjoyed you film a lot! Congratulations!
The only thing witch distract from the film are the little second mirror to the left in the mirror&hat scenes and quite some camera shake in the handheld scenes.

This little shake could be easily eliminated with a little tool: Mercalli from a company called prodad.de

Nice. But I agree that there a several places where it feels like you can cut away sooner. Many shots feel like they hang too long.. and pulling focus to stay with the actor would be nice too. do you know why your camera does a nervous shaking in a few shots? do you need a more substantial tripod? Cheers.

Good work...and choice of music. Who is the song credit?
Anna Thorbjörnsson 8 months ago

The music is written by The Knife, a swedish band.

Some nice light and nice geometry in the shots, but it seems you are a stills person getting into video. Get a fluid-head tripod The Libec ls-38 is great, and quite light. You cannot shoot video with a photo tripod. Also, read anything you can about filmic story-telling. A good shot is like a mini-story which begins and ends for a good reason - it has to go somewhere - it is not really a still with something moving in it.

As a last note, learn to edit WITH the music - motion in your shots should match the feel of motion in the music. Move your hands to the music as you edit - they are moving like your shot should move, if that makes any sense.

Generally, I would put about 3X more cuts - it feels too slow.

This is not to be discouraging - motion pictures are an art one can spend one's whole life learning.
Anna Thorbjörnsson 8 months ago

Hi Robert, thanks for your comments and good feedback - yes I agree that I could use the tripod more in the movie to create motion. When it comes to cutting I think it is a matter of preference, where I enjoy the long footage which probably also is a result of me going from stills into video. I am however so happy to have discovered video - there are so many more things you can do than with stills :) Anna

I wanted to know, how long is the raw footage you took to make this short film? It would be interesting to know how long to spent in filming, before composing it at home.

Beautiful movie. keep it up.
Anna Thorbjörnsson 8 months ago

Thank you Sunil :) The raw footage was about one hour or so, and we spent about four hours to do the footage, including setup and moving between different locations - all in all one evening. Anna

You should learn to convert to 24P. Its very easy and would give this video a really cool look. Something about actors when behind 24P, it just looks better. Great video though, really liked it.

thank you chris, will look into the 24P conversion and test this. Anna
