2. 5D and EX1 Lady Bug Swarm
4 months ago
Copyright 2009 Spoken Image llc All Rights Reserved
I shot this during the annual lady bug swarm here in the mountains above Boulder Colorado. Mostly meant to be a test to see how the 5D and EX1 footage would cut together. Just had the footage looked at by the good people at GW Hannaway on their ultra high end monitors and it seems, and I am told that, under the right circumstances and understanding the cameras internal codec issues, the footage holds up quite well!
I used Canon L Series lenses (24-70 and 70-200) and a Lens Baby with the plus 10 macro.

Wish I could see it firsthand.
Could you share your work flow for both cameras. Of interest to me. (My Edits FCP) Thank you.
Both were edited in an HQ prores sequence. (I first transcoded the 5D footage in Compressor to pro res at 29.97). Then I cut the piece and sent it to Color and did a simple primary grade to just sharpen and dial in the contrast that I liked. The EX1 footage was a little under saturated because of my picture profile so I had to bump that up a bit. Lastly I used Magic Bullet Looks to slightly soften the clips with a diffusion filter. The next step will be to find picture profile setting in both cameras that will help me match the looks in camera. I hope to do this soon at GW Hannaway, a local post house that has proper monitors and a testing facility.
We are running the same equipment. Keen to track your progress & results. Cheers.
I added to the inappropriate W A T E R channel because I like it and I like your eye.
never seen something like that. thanks
greetings jörg

I think that people are using music without permission on sites like these because they think that if there is no financial gain then there will be no incentive for anyone to pursue legal action against them. I don't know if that is true.
I changed the music on mine because I simply had no idea that so many people would watch this and when I did try to find out how to get permission to use the original track, the process was just too circuitous for a video that I made without any intention of selling. That said, WGN, an American network (and a couple of other outlets) have just offered to broadcast it so I am required to change the music.
So, I am using my friends music (with his permission) in hopes that it will at least generate some extra sales of his brilliant albums.
So, the rule seems to be; get permission, if you don't you are risking trouble..
Yes, I am not.
I preume it means that vimeo is very tolerent to accept that people display clips using copyrighted music. I have myself a recent solution. I purchased copyright free music from SmartSound (smartsound.com)
But it is much more expensive than music purchased from Itunes that I have been using so far ($99 for a disc with only 5-8 tunes)
The EX1 and 5D footage work well together. I could barely tell the difference!
Cheers
Did you use any focus aides on your lenses? Like a focusing rod or anything like that? If not you have very steady stable hands :)
far out man... hey who stole the spots from that one lady bug??

I have an EX-1 and am considering selling it for the 5D. I've tested both (I borrowed a 5D) side by side with a good HD monitor, and I just like the color, dof, and 'look' for the 5d video better...........do you think I'm crazy?
It depends on where your work will be seen I think. The 5D is primarily a stills camera (with some very promising video applications). Issues include: terrible sound sampling, odd frame rate recording, form factor, etc. Your EX1 is a very good video camera. You may just be in love with the full frame sensor and the lenses that you can use (I am). Your are not crazy, 5D makes sexy images, it's just a different tool and can be a real pain if you have to deliver "traditional" footage. Check out Phil Blooms blog, he goes into detail. Also, there are some resolution tests floating around out there. cheers
