A short film about what makes people happy.

Shot & Cut by Jon Rawlinson.

Produced by Jeremy Aiken and Jon Rawlinson.

Shot on a Canon 5DMKII with a 28-135 EF lens. I used a Rode VideoMic for audio. Graded with Magic Bullet Looks.

The music is "I wished on the moon" by Billie Holiday.

    *and like star wars hahahahah almost spat out my coffee!

    had a huge smile on my face watching this the whole time.

    this is great!

    (also i thought the flicker thing was intentional)
  • Jon Rawlinson pro 2 years ago
    Thanks Duncs!

    Star Wars makes me happy too! hahah

    About the flicker thing...must be an issue with the encoding into h.264...I might re-do the opening and make the background blue.
  • Jordan Megahy plus 2 years ago
    I rather liked the flicker!

    But honestly this video just cheered me up so much.

    "Being in peace with yourself" - That was the best answer, because if you have everything else and don't have this... It's kinda pointless to me.

    Hey Jon how method you use to capture sound with markII? with a camera mic connected to XLR in?

    Colors, DOF, resolution and your work in post-production was very beautiful.
    Only an comment is about high skew and wobble effect of Cmos, this camera is very good with video but not how to any camcorder HD. Any little fast movement is possible to see the back wobble. See in PC is cool but in high size TV like 42", i think will strange.
  • Jon Rawlinson pro 2 years ago
    Ya...there is a bit of wobble effect.

    don´t you have a video "what makes you sad?" I don`t want to be negative or anything like that but it might be interesting to see and listen what people answer...
  • Jon Rawlinson pro 2 years ago
    Thats a great question! Maybe we'll do that next time.

    Thanks.
