    Great video, great model, but I'll keep EX1 for now :)
    thanks for sharing!
  • Mike Kobal plus 5 months ago
    thanks paramon. ha, I would keep the EX1 too!
  • I wouldn't, (this camera is lighter, shallower DOF, and larger sensor) you are doing a fabulous job with the 5DMK2. Keep it coming.
    Steve
  • Mike Kobal plus 5 months ago
    thanks Steve. I will keep it, I meant in addition of course!
  • paramon plus 5 months ago
    But you have to admit Steve, MKii is not as good for every job, I've tried it, waiting for scarlet,
    will see :))
  • Mike Kobal plus 5 months ago
    ha, I am waiting for the scarlet also!

    I just upgraded from an EX1 to a 5D Mark II :)
  • Mike Kobal plus 4 months ago
    how does it compare?

  • indyflix plus 5 months ago
    she looks very young but in a few years times she'll be supermodel status for sure.
    just don't let it go to your head! : )

    I bet this looks amazing in BW. is she shot in front of a green screen?
  • Mike Kobal plus 5 months ago
    thanks indyflix. yup, 13. me, to my head? ha, nope. I think Victoria is more in danger of having it go to her head.
  • indyflix plus 5 months ago
    not you mike, that was addressed to her. Im sure she'll be reading these posts too. : ) 13?!? geez-louise . . . super model status for sure, but i really mean it, don't let it go to your head darlin'! :)

  • Luan Kotori 5 months ago
    Model is very nice,,, though video attracts me even more, but now am confused at 24fps.
    Did you drop frames and it cannot be noticed, or did you reduce the speed to get in to 24fps, or now suddenly D5-II started shooting 24p, or what a hell is happening Mike - don't make me regret my D5000 :D
    Great work mr:MIKE, Arri's they sure do the job but its all some sort of cool alchemy in your taste.
  • Mike Kobal plus 5 months ago
    hah, thanks Luan. No frame dropping.Converted to 24p. I really like it - gives mild slomo effect.

  • Mattia Santino Merli 5 months ago
    Good work, only one question: her mobile number!! ;)) Anyway... I've noted some reflections on her skin (i.e. the nose), is it an artistic choice? Make-up or light?
  • Mike Kobal plus 5 months ago
    thanks Mattia. the shine on the skin is intentional. Make up/light combo. I can give you her dad's cell# she is thirteen ;-)

    So Victoria @ 13. Bird on stool, high point source lamp head on, + Black Mist + hair light & fan = a winner. As they say, strike while the iron is hot !!
  • Mike Kobal plus 5 months ago
    :o)
  • Ron Coker plus 5 months ago
    I take it the above is not complimentary ? !!
  • Mike Kobal plus 4 months ago
    well, she is not bird yet, still in the shell kind of....
  • Ron Coker plus 4 months ago
    I actually thought you had done a stunning job. It's the finished image that tells the story.

    Are the clips of parents or family group available for viewing ?

    Regards.
  • Mike Kobal plus 4 months ago
    thanks Ron. might use them in a different project, not sure yet..

  • Great video, Mike. You think is worth waiting for likely(?) upcoming 24p 5D MkII?
    She pretty much looks like actress Melanie Thierry (The legend of 1900) Anyone else noticed?
  • Mike Kobal plus 4 months ago
    she also looks a little bit like Doutzen. I don't know, personally I don't mind converting to 24p at all, you have the option to drop frames or to slow it down a little. But the next generation camera will hopefully have 60p, thats what I really want.

    Very nice, I am saving my pennies for a 5dMKII or Lumix GH-1. Not sure which yet. Great work!
  • Mike Kobal plus 4 months ago
    thanks Matt. just got the gh1. very nice! the two cameras are totally different. will post something shot with gh1 soon.
  • The Muc 4 months ago
    give us a heads up on your thoughts on the two as i am in the same boat. even better, a side by side clip of the two in action would make my day.

    cheers.
  • Mike Kobal plus 4 months ago
    what I can tell you right now, the cameras are totally different. very hard to compare. the 5D2 is def a pro tool. the GH1 is not. besides from night shootings- if you know what you want and the final output is 720p and if you like 60p the GH1 is hard to beat. I will do a comparison in the next couple of days.

    sensual! another great one mike. I would like to play with a camera like the 5D mk2 but I aint got no money for a toy like that. haha. mike, have you tried the 7D? does it have good video performance
  •  
  • Brian Wiley 2 months ago
    Is there much motion smear when converting 30p to 24p? The video looks a little choppy, but thats just my low performance computer screwing up the playback.
