    Nice... but, no toe clippings? :(

    Quick question... I am assuming no color grading in post on any of these shots... is that correct?
  • Paul Reynolds plus 2 years ago
    Wow... Just read the description and had my question answered. Welcome to the united club of idiots Mr. Reynolds. Thanks Mr. Bloom.

    Thank you! Finally some daytime stuff to sink our teeth into! What lens(es) was this shot with?

    You captured great light for the "portrait" at 0:54!
  • video4english.net plus 2 years ago
    I attended that workshop in Dublin and persuaded the elderly gentleman to pose for Phil. Afterwards Phil said to me - Do you know who that man was? It was Richard Harris.
    'Really?' I said. Duh!

    Well, Philip, it's official. I pre-ordered my 7D and I am selling my big boy camera. Very nice!!!

  • Jeff Nelson 2 years ago
    Nice. But a question -- how do you get past the 12 minute barrier? Buy many CF cards and change them, download when you get back to the office? Carry a laptop and do it while shooting? Are there any solutions for longer/larger CF cards? That would seem to be a significant barrier for many kinds of run and gun work.
  • Eddy Robinson 2 years ago
    Its 12 minutes per *clip*, not per card - you can use larger cards, and/or swap. There are certainly times when you want to shoot continuously for longer periods, but they're probably not the jobs that play to the strengths of this camera.
  • Jeff Nelson 2 years ago
    I see, thanks for the clarification.

  • Again, very beautifully composed shots. I love your work. My favourite shot is the man at 0:53. May I ask which setting you´re using on the 7D? Is it the Stu Superflat setting or do you have a special one? Your pictures look so amazing, even without grading. Superb, inspiring work!

    Looks great! I've been shooting bright daylight video on my 5d Mkii, and I've been getting a lot of noise. I usually shoot at a 200 ISO with my 24-105 f4 all the way open, usually a high shutter speed. Do you have any thoughts as to why I'm getting so much noise, usually in the shadows? Thanks.
  • Sean Duran 2 years ago
    We should compare shots at the same ISO and f/stop and see if they looks the same. Cause at 200, I think ours is pretty much flawless.
  • Nathan Bloch 2 years ago
    Are you using the 24-105? It's possible I'm just not using the camera correctly, but on the whole I find a lot of my shots to have lots of noise that don't have lots of light on them. Not sure if it's "normal" noise, or if my camera is producing more than it should.

    Hi Philip, just needy our suggestion if I am considering getting a video DSLR should i go for the Canon 5D Mark2 or the Canon 7D. Seems like the videos produce comparing your 35mm on a 7D and a 50mm on a 5DMark2 has a different look. An image comparison of both cameras would be something i look forward from you. Hope to have your feedback on this. The 7D looks good though.
  • Akira Wing 2 years ago
    7D=35mm motion picture frame size(with 1.6x crop), compatible with more cinema style lenses; 5D=VistaVision/full frame, 35mm still frame size(better for stills or for the unique look).

    7D also currently is the only one with the multiple frame rates and a higher bitrate. For most video/film shooting purposes the 7D is an indie filmmaker's dream (and for $1,000 less).
  • Danial Haris 2 years ago
    I pretty much like the looks on the 5D more then on the 7D. Though the 7D seems like a wonderful video DSLR with multiple frame rate and higher bit rate but the images produce on the 5D looks differently appealing.

    So far Jason Magbanua "Perya" is the only piece of video that makes me believe the 7D is a good investment just shooting on Raw without color process. Then again he had variety of lenses for Perya.

    Then again the 5DMark2 unique look does makes me feel like I am seeing pictures on magazines in motion.

    Thanks anyway for the comment Akira.

    Wow, great stuff!
    A question: I'm heading to Africa in the end of this year and want to upgrade my HV20 before that. Do you think a 5d or 7d would be a good upgrade, and the "right" camera to use for a "travel documentary"? Or perhaps a dslr video camera will be too "tricky"? What external microphone would you recommend?

  • G'day Phillip,

    Its always rewarding to see interest in cinematography being rekindled by your talents and ability to create international kinship thru your use of the visual language, as well as educating in an easy way-the 5 C's of cinematography...Make that 6 C's...due to the fact of your easy going nature and consideration to embrace professionals and cinema enthusists!!

    Well done mate...Your work makes me smile in admiration...Keep up the good Work and Karma!
    Best Regards, your friend

    Sometimes, I feel we are all drowning in a soup of technical obsessions.

    Frankly, this film is just darn good observational photography.

    Period.
  • True bob that this is 'just' darn good observational photography. But bearing in mind this quality was impossible from a DSLR at this price point until very recently - I think the technical obsession is justified.

    Best
  • bob lorrimer plus 2 years ago
    Quite correct Michael...I would not be able to make an equipment decision without informed public, rather than promotional, opinion.

    I have ordered the 7D.

    I now enter the labyrinthine world of interchangeable optical glass!
  • Andrew Howe plus 2 years ago
    What Philip and Den were attempting to teach us in the Dublin drizzle was to be better observers. What we saw in the rushes when we got back to base was that the tech we used to shoot with was less important than what you shot. I like gizmos as much as the next man (quite a lot more to be honest) but that is what I will take away from the day.

    I look forward to seeing what you make with the 7D Bob

    Hi Philip! What picture profile did you use, if you didn't grade the footage? I'm watching your 5D Training Video now and you set the images to a flat washed out look. Cheers! Can't wait for F-Stop Academy!!!

    Hi I know I am late to the conversation but I am curious about moving shots or better put people moving IN the shots.
    Someone put it earlier in the comments this was beautifully COMPOSED. How does the camera perform when people are moving about in the frame.
    Do you need to get a focus puller to keep every one in focus?
  •  
  • Love it. Btw your URL to your blog is says phiipbloom.co.uk
    instead of philipbloom.co.uk

    Love your work and blog Bloom.
