Whilst in the US recording a new show for Zacuto I took my 5d and the new Zacuto "Tactical Shooter" to the mean streets of Chicago for the "60th Annual Old Town Art Fair".

Last time I shot a short on the 5d was for "Sofia's People" with just one 50mm lens. This time I took a whole bag of lenses to try out some new stuff. Including a Shift Tilt 24mm Canon f3.5, an IS 70-200mm and a few others.

Please read my blog at philipbloom.co.uk/2009/06/18/new-web-series-and-new-short-film-on-canon-5d-mkii-the-art-fair/ for more info.

Ungraded and converted to 25p in Compressor. Full 1080p version available for download.

Video tempts me to move towards DSLR's verses HVX and Letus Ultimate... A sad sad day...

nice video by the way, really feel like I was there

I like I like I like. You need to tell me what your pitch is to get these people to let you film them. Great stuff as always.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

all in the making off to come later...
Mike Dorsey 2 years ago

I would guess that you just ask if you can take their picture, and then they don't realize you're actually filming... although looking at the rig, it might be hard to explaing the microphone.

Dose the IS of the 70-200mm work in video mode? is it good?
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

yes it does, very useful
Round 1 Productions 2 years ago

Superb. I love the choice of lenses, and the bokeh is great. Dare I ask... Philip... Are you giving up on the 35mm adapters?
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

no chance!
Round 1 Productions 2 years ago

ok good!!! haha Great job Bloom!
Matthew Byori Mann 2 years ago

Absolutely gorgeous, Philip! My jaw dropped when you showed me the footage on the 5D, but I think I teared up a little bit when I saw the final film. Can't wait to see the BTS!

Looks like Phil has also given up on frame interpolation ... ?

better 25p version coming later, had some issues with compressor.
Love Story Media 2 years ago

awesome. btw i'd love to know what your current workflow is for 30p --> 24/25p
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

i am still perfecting it in time for my presentation at the UK FPUG next week. Still not found "best" method...converting 30p to 24p/25p is bloody hard!

Hey Philip, Cineform Neoscene. The real deal.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

what is Cineform Neoscene?
Ron Coker 2 years ago

Really!! HDV, AVCHD, or Canon 5DMK2 to Cineform AVI or .MOV files. One click and done.

Old dog, new tricks.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

yes but it doesnt convert 5d 30p to 24p!
Ron Coker 2 years ago

For what it's worth Philip, the application is able, however not recommended for that task. No problems.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

have you tried it Ron?
Ron Coker 2 years ago

Phil,The information was sent from a well informed IT person, suggesting the app could enhance the 5dmk2 work flow for 24p. I considered installing after upgrading Mac OS in near future. I contacting the IT person a further time for reassurance on the product, finally I decided to contact the product tech support people, they kindly supplied the information as described above.

Is that the Rode Videomic you are using? How did that get on when the IS is switched on? Did you try the Zoom setup Zacuto favour? I have an older H4 but have struggled to find the right adapter. Zacuto's is nice but a luxury for a hobbyist
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

I didn't actually use any of the sound. Also the IS is pretty quiet I found. I have the zoom hot shoe from zacuto. Check out the rapid fire from zacuto, it's the cheapest and the one I recommend.
Jeff Wood Visuals 2 years ago

Hi Philip, How do you like the Zacuto Z finder thingy? Is it worth the money?

Hey Philip,
Have you got yr GH1 yet, and by any chance do you know when the actual release date is for the GH1 or if there's anywhere one can be bought in the UK?

Cheers.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

i get mine early next week. Been a bit delayed hasn't it?!
Doug Smith Media 2 years ago

Some really great stuff! How do you think video dslr footage would look alongside 35mm adapter footage? I already own an HVX Letus setup, but I'm thinking about getting a 5d or comparable dSLR to use for lowlight situations/night shoots, Any ideas?

TheMuc 2 years ago

that was very nice as usual. cheeky question but do you think you can get similar results with the dare I say "less expensive" gh1.

Seeing as you are getting your hands on one soon, any chance you can do a side by side comparison of the two? I think alot of people have been yearning for something like this and I think you are one of few that is lucky enough to own both.

Cheers.

if i get the chance to...the 5dmk2 is far better though.

Philip,

Great work as always!

I did not see this in any of your 5D films yet, but are you having the problem with losing color information in patterns (moire effect)? Are you getting around this somehow?

gotta love the 5dmk2, nice choice of lenses too, although i'm not a fan of the shift tilt lens, but you chose a couple of nice shots with it.
rickflick 2 years ago

Nicely done Phil. You have great rapport. Any tips on how to set folks at ease?
Justin Ho 2 years ago

Just spectacular, wonderful shallow depth of field, and i love the shift tilt lens. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the shift tilt lens?
Crystals 2 years ago

Thanks a lot for sharing your new clip. (I was the person who corresponded with you at midnight by mail) I was inquiring today at Canon Switzerland if the 5d is available but no concrete answer and all dealers say people are waiting for months to get one. Do you have any insider information where to get one in Europe?
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

you can buy one in shops in uk today
Love Story Media 2 years ago

Wow, amazing job with the 30 to 25p, looks "native" 25p if that makes sense. Maybe I can do my 5dmkii blu ray after all? Video is tear-inducing as always...
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

going to do a round up tutorial of all the various ways to get 25p/24p with a mac...many ways. All have their positives and negatives...this is my favourite but comes at a cost. Will reveal at FCPUG then online at my site!

Hello, Philip. I've often wondered, when you add masking in post to give it the '2.35:1 look', is it something you've already taken into consideration when you were shooting? i.e do you shoot a little bit further back or anything?

Interesting that this is coming straight out of the cam. Really nice color management. If not confidential would you explain your Picture style setting and fine tuning of saturation and contrast in the cam? Thank you!
Chris Barcellos 2 years ago

I would be curious if you could try NeoScene from Cineform in PC and compare to your other process. I have done a work flow using Vegas, setting playback rate of the footage to 80% (dropping to 24 fps), then, rendering in Cineform codec (through vegas) to 24p. Following that, i drop the new rendered file in, and raise the playback rate 125%, and render to 24p again. I think this is close to what you do in compressor. In fact I would try it on a clip you sent me so you could compare. Chris Barcellos

Augusto Alves da Silva 2 years ago

Great stuff...but if I can say I prefered the mood on Sofia´s people...This whole video has a much more uniform pattern on the video shots grading but less breath taking although excellent. The one comment about cineform, I have the sw and it doesn´t conform from 30 to 24... :-((
The image on this clip has a very GH1 ambiance too... You used it before and know the results...
Thanks for sharing your work.
Philip Bloom 2 years ago

you can one conform if you are in a compatible codec, like pro res which i was in here.

Hi guys, I posted a video recently that talks about what makes or breaks good cinematography... or shot design.

youtube.com/watch?v=IZA9r0iWbdw

I work mainly on music videos and commercials, and Ive been getting a lotta questions as to what camera I use... which i personally don't think matters that much. Specially since i've used everything from 35mm film, to RED one and hvx with the m2 adapter, etc.

I wanted to show my appreciation somehow for this work so I bought TWO songs from Hope Sandoval off of iTunes, unfortunately Cherry Blossom girl is not available there, do you know where I can get it?

I haven't tried Amazon.com, need to do that.
