one shooter + one tripod :)

P.

awesome! i'm exited to get the 7d and hope that you guys will share your thoughts on this cam, especially the 7d vs 5d2 issue. can i ask you a strange question. which lens would you take with you to a wedding shoot if you could only take one? the reason i ask that is that i have about 1k left after preordering the 7d and would love to hear your thoughts. thx for the beautiful piece- true art and soooo inspirational.

Wow

This piece exemplifies its so much more than the gear. Its IRONIC that its shot with a pre-production 7D because for me, the story, how its edited and the amazing, thoughtful imagery trump any kind of tech gadgetry that may have contributed to the success of this piece. The fact its not a SDE also helped to pull this off with one shooter, is my guess. Great job Patrick, truly artful.

There was a lot I liked about this piece, but my goodness 1:19 gave me goosebumps. Goes to show that it's not the kind of paint that makes the art, but the thoughts behind the painter.

Dude that was sweet! Who shot it?

Very Cool guys! Question: Is that Auto WB or do you guys set it yourself? Keep it rocking!!!

Great work guys!!

What? Not an SDE? Not impressed at all. :)

COOL !!!! You best guys !!!!

Nice cameo by Pliny the Elder at 00:37 Great beer! Also the video looks really good too :)

Lovin that camera! Seriously, I gotta get on a list somewhere to get the 7d so my mkii has a friend :) Thanks for getting us excited!

absolutely unbeleivable

Amazing as usual. I can't wait to get a 7d to pair with my 5d! What compression settings do you guys use to export to vimeo, yours looks soooo much cleaner than mine!

Subtle and superb. The voice over’s always get me. Reminds me of Josh and Laura.

godfather rules again.

beautiful work as always!

That's freaking incredible with only one cinematographer. Have to ask, did you have along someone to help you with the equipment and all? Beautiful work.

Great work Patrick as always!
Question... Was this shot for a highlights piece only? This is the only way I can think one cinematographer will work, unless you can transport to multiple locations at once :P

Amazing! Especially the shot at 2:24 considering it was a one man shoot.

I'm looking forward to Sydney in February, I'm going to soak that stuff up like a sponge.

I'm looking forward to Melbourne - Feb. This is the sort of shoot that I would really like to learn more about in-depth, being a single shooter myself.

I'm also very curious about your audio setup? Any chance of explaining that in more detail?

Excitement!!!!!

That was amazing! And to think there was just one cinematographer there is just mind blowing...great job!

Great work. You guys are my favorite TV show (every night I am amazed by one of your new episodes).

Is there any technical difference between what can be achieved with the 7D or the 5D MARK II? What about the REBEL T1i, if used with the same lenses?
Is there really a difference among these cameras in the HD function?

that shooter did one hell of a job.
two thumbs up! The quality of this video surpasses everything I've seen in weddings videos

Patrick, your artistry transcends the capabilities of this camera. This piece is visually stunning and the story is so fluid... I cannot believe how many amazing moments were captured so beautifully.

Did you suffer from Steadicam withdrawals while shooting this? :) I pre-ordered one of these when it was announced earlier in the month, can't wait to get my hands on it. Are you able to comment on the differences in the 1080p image quality between this camera and the larger sensor on the 5d?

I've always enjoyed your videos but this one is by far the best one I've seen in recent times. Amazing work, who cares about the camera.

Did you hire someone to create the score? Lovely.

How did you focus? Just the LCD? Is it that good?

Looks great, also blows my mind it was done by one person... sounds stressful!

Did you use any extra gear like Matte Boxes/Rails/Follow Focus'/LCDs etc?

This is amazing. I can't imagine it's only a one man job here.
Good choice of music and your cut is also very good. I have to say I almost cried.

I got a little dizzy. There are too many shots and fast cutting for me to keep up. Maybe I am a slow watcher of wedding cinema. For my job I like to be a wedding cinema critic one day. Good luck to me. I like that idea we start using a villian in our wedding feature motion pictures because the bride and groom have it too easy and this is boring. This can be CGI if you have no villian why not? Please pay the professional actor SAG scale. to fight. Let us petition UCLA to start this Wedding Cinematography Masters of Fine Arts. Shall I praise you as everybody else in this good party so much for this hard work. You will such a great job shooting news stories because you can get many large quantiteis of coverage. Thank you for this my good chap. Please do not kill yourselves with shooting weddings. 5D looks better more than 7D I think for it is a larger much highest sensor size higher than RED Mysterium included and here we take a depth of feild hit with reduction in this sensor, Greetings.

depth of field taking a hit? Did you watch the vid, the DOF is plenty shallow.

Patrick - wow, you've reset the bar again! Did you use an ND filter at all?

WOW...I was looking for 7D videos...now I think ...it's the painter not the brush :)

Forget about the cameras. This is one great piece of storytelling. I felt a tear in the end.

OK...net time you do one of these one man shows..you have to get someone to film you so we can really see how much running around you were doing...that's insane!..amazing footage as well as your story telling...SUPERB! I wanna be like you when i grow up.

woah that was great stuff patrick. a classic piece once again. one man show is after all possible on a setup for a stillmotion production. Then again $10k worth of equipment i got to work my ass off to own that kinda of stuff. you have definitely convince me that if the 7D was used tastefully you can still get a bunch of beautiful images. If i can afford i will spend my money on a stillmotion workshp. :)

Hi Patrick, but is 70-200 f4 non IS or 70-200 f2,8 IS as You write on the end title?
However very superb...everything supported by P.S I LOVE YOU soundtrack :) very nice OST.
Ciao

WOW, again: amazing.

Weren't you nervous filming a such unique event with pre-production material? I know you made equipment test before (saw the other wedding film), but still...

Congrats for yet another gorgeous piece of work (and dare I say it: art).

How are all these people getting a pre-production 7D?

Quite simply that is a sensational effort....full kudos to you Patrick - incredible work. The couple must be chuffed to bits with that.

One question - did you also find time to cover the wedding from a stills point of view at the same time?

Well done again.

awesome work as usual patrick, you guys are an inspiration! I was wondering where do you find your music selections?

You are truly inspiring. I only do these vids for fun as a gift for my friends. And I know just how stressful it is to just be one man running around. hahah. Luckily(and unluckily)...i only have a camera and a tripod to run around with.

Unbelievably beautiful and inspiring...
What song is that @2:00? I know it was used in the movie P.S. I Love You but could never find it. This song gets to me every time I hear it

Very impressive work! Beautiful images. I know I could not have shot this and kept it in focus consistently.

What happens when you get video clips on 5D II or 7D larger then 4GB (12min)? Do you have to stop and start shooting again or just camera splits files on max of 4GB? I still cant believe that 5D II sensor (36x24mm) shoots the same as 7D (22x15mm) with the same sharpness and DOF. I can't decide which one to buy first. Thank you!

I love you :-D You convinced me about how great this 7D will be and also make me move about this two people totally unknown for me getting married :-) You are great my friend... This wedding is better than most movies we see in theatres nowadays :-D

one question: you said you were not using ND filters. How did you manage to shoot in daylight? Even at 100 iso, wasn't the iris always too close to have the right depth of field? I guess you didn't exaggerate with the shutter speed, the motion seems pretty natural all the time.

I've already told my girlfriend that you guys would be shooting our wedding... thats right, not even fiancée yet (but it will happen)... So when you get a call from me when we're planning our wedding you'll know that I have decided on you way in advanced. You guys are incredible.

cool camera, not a cool camera, whatever, you did a great job...Love this.
