That 85mm sure looks good.
J.
Indeed no better value for money.
Johnnie
What's camera used ?..
Canon 7d
:)
Thanks.
J.
Jello is there if you are wild with the camera, but since I know your shooting style you will not suffer.
This camera is in a different league to the D90.
Many thanks!
J.
-Un-tick the frame blending.
-Slowdown to 50%.
Basta.
The footage BEFORE slowing down will play in a normal speed in a 25p timeline.
Ciao.
J.
There we can see the overcrack result!! Send to me an original small file that I'll try with MAC, if you want.
ciao caro...
Did both methods and Premiere gave me a smoother results slowing down in 50% on a 25p timeline no interpolation.
Will be happy to send you some original MOV files, no problem.
J.
Next time when filming in Sweden I will look for you :)
Johnnie
Here, the same file is playing from the PS3 on a 50inch plasma without any dropped frame!
I would have never uploaded a clip with dropped frame... :)
With the Canon 7d like other memory card VDSLR and camcorders, there is no need to "capture the video" since it is already in a digital form file. Just copy it to your editing hard disk and start editing.
Thanks!
Johnnie
I am on a PC editing platform.
All files were converted to Cineform AVI's then imported to Adobe Premiere for editing.
Thanks for watching the video and I hope you have a chance to play it on a big screen, it looks nice for a modestly priced VDSLR camera....
J.
how did you find shooting with an 85mm on the crop sensor? Obviously it helped give you some creamy shallow DOF, but was it helpful getting you in closer to your subjects or were you finding yourself too close and having to move back often. It's a problem i have with the 85mm f/1.8 on my 500D.
also, I see you were using a few ND filters. were they enough to let you shoot wide open at f/1.4 or did you have to stop the lens down at all?
First, thanks a lot for watching the video!
I love the Samyang fast 85mm lens. Nothing can beat price/performance with that lens.
The camera/lens are new with me and I mostly used the lens as a "full body portrait" not a "face only" one.
In two days I will use it in a real world project and will be smarter if it is limiting my "creativity and needs".
Two ND filters (0.9, 0.6) were used most of the time in order to achieve a wide or nearly wide aperture like I wanted.
All the best and thanks again!
Johnnie

You can buy online from Samyang Europe: samyang.pl
I like!
makes want to get abusive :p
Thanks,
Ben
-The last I heard from DVTEC (the manufacture of DVmultyrig) is that they are about to slightly update their model in order to fit the rig to the VDSLR world better.
-I am about to get a rig from Vocas (vocas.com/links/dslrrig-link.htm) and test it. This rig is more expensive but might be the answer to my different needs.
-ML for the 7d is not ready yet as far as I know.
Thanks!
Johnnie
You're welcome! Good that they may be about to update it.... the rig from Vocas looks great. My feelings are that an all in one solution like that especially for documentary or ENG it might be worth extra cost.
Any ideas on where this available in the uk?
Cheers,
Ben
The Vocas will not come cheap!.
Most of it but the shoulder mount is already available. (end of the month for the shoulder mount).
According to Vocas site this is their dealer:
Pyser - SGI Ltd.
Homepage pyser-sgi.com
E-mail broadcast@pyser-sgi.com
Telephone +(44) 1732 864111
Fax +(44) 1732 865544
Will check with my Vocas contact tomorrow and will let you know if there are more dealers.
All the best!.
J.
Thanks a lot man, had a look at their site but no prices on there so yeh definitely expensive!
I'm probably not going to get the kit for a little while to come yet so I'm waiting to see what other solutions are around in a few months time.
Thanks again and I'll be sure to check out more of your work on vimeo!
Ben
Indeed Vienna is very nice and it is a great peaceful place to come back to when travailing so much as I do.
Thanks for watching the video!
J.
Next testimonial is almost ready. Early next week it will be online.
Thanks for showing interest!
J.
i wish i had a 7d :)
It's a pitty that you didn't colour correct it, i downloaded the footage and graded it in mbl in a few seconds and the colours became much more vibrant
Yes, manual focus used at all times. Auto focus is not possible with the 7d when shooting video.
LCD is fine. Higher LCD quality and/or any camera focusing assist during filming would have been a great help...
Z-finder is my current viewfinder. If you have no glasses/contact lenses, LCDVF will do a great job in a reduced price.
Thanks again!
Johnnie
The images are beautiful. How cool that you captured natural falling leaves. That is a very rare thing to me. It almost never occurs in California.
Do you recommend the 7D over the T2i for people like me that want to shoot mostly video?
1/50 would not give me as smooth picture as I could get with the 1/100.
I have no experience with the T2i (even though those are very similar camera video wise).
As a professional I like the challenge working with the 7d. If you are looking for "home video" camera, I am sure that with a bit of practice and understanding the limits imposed by that kind of camera while shooting video, eventually you will end up getting nice footage.
All the best.
Johnnie
kudos.
It was shot in Vienna, Austria.
J.
Picture profile is standard. At that time (over a year ago) camera was new and shooting was made with camera "out of the box".
Thanks.
Johnnie
Johnnie
Thanks for taking the time writing a comment.
Formatt filters home page:
formatt.co.uk/default.aspx
I am sure other filters from respectable companies will do good too.
All the best.
Johnnie
The tripod used is Sachtler DV8-SB
Thanks!
Johnnie
