  • AB Productions plus 2 years ago
    I wonder if it is possible to shoot footage this good looking on the 7D? What do you think Camille?
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Hi Antony,

    Well I've seen some great footage with the 7D but what gives you the best image is a big sensor, and it's a lot smaller on the 7D.
    So I think in a lot of situations you're gonna lack contrast, color accuracy, DOF and sharpness.
  • Thomas Lew plus 2 years ago
    IMO the answer is yes.
  • Nicollo Lopez plus 2 months ago
    Don't know if this is still helpful (2 years later lol).. but the answer is YES... check out Salamon Lighthelm's videos here on vimeo.. about the same style of grading (and more..).

    Definitely can be achieved! :)
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 months ago
    Yes Salomon has some really nice videos ;)

    I would love to see what's in vente-privee.com but unable to register as I am not in any of the countries.

    How do you capture your shots? Mono-pod?

    Once again magazine like images in motion. Wonderful!
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Well yeah for now vente-privee is just for western europe countries but growing really fast.

    I didn't use any stabilizer, it's all handheld but some shots are stabilized in post. But my next purchase will be a glidecam, that's for sure.
  • Danial Haris 2 years ago
    Would love to see what sort of work you will be produced when a glidecam is in your hands. I guess that would be exciting.

    Are you using any stabilization rig?
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Not yet, but I sure will buy one.
  • TortueGenial 2 years ago
    It's pretty stable for a handheld shot, it adds some realism. Sorry to ask so much questions but what is the soundtrack? I quite like it.
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    The music was done by a talented inhouse musician.

  • Adam C 2 years ago
    Pure newb question but I am just curious. When a clip cuts to the next one and there is that little redish flash...how is this done? I see it in a lot of videos..gives it like a film look...but not sure how it is pulled off.

    Oh and amazing once again.
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Hi Adam,

    Well in fact it's simple, it's some videos with random "burn reel" effect, you have a few collections but the one I'm using is called "Film Clutter" and it's from the Artbeats website.

    Then you just have to composite those in the Add mode and voila ;)

  • Ellz Ramclam 2 years ago
    Great piece of work here and responding to everyone's questions is magnificent. Thanks for sharing.

    Were these all stills or a mix between Stills and Video.
    There are scenes which move too quickly to be shot with the 5Ds continuous shooting mode but then again, that can easily be fixed in post, but then there are scenes that look super sharp, almost too sharp to be HD video. Ha ha. It's awesome that this video does this to me :)
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Hi Ellz,

    Everything is shot in video and the scenes that moves very fast are just speeded up in post but that's it.

    And yeah, the 5D can produce really sharp images ;)
  • Ellz Ramclam 2 years ago
    Very impressed. I had to watch this video three times to get everything wrapped around my head. Will definitely be sharing this with the folks around the studio. Thanks for answering my question. Keep up the excellent work.

  • AB Productions plus 2 years ago
    Hey Camille, so you have pretty much convinced me to purchase the 5DM2 over the 7D, but I have a question: Do you down convert your frame-rate to 24p? If so, how do you do this through after effects? Do you convert back to 30p to snyc your sound?
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Well in fact I don't sync anything with audio, because I always use a soundtrack.
    I just "interpret footage" inside after effects to 25p to a 25p timeline so every frame is rendered but everything is slowed down, but I kinda like it, so no probs for me.

  • BIGMONKEYMAN 2 years ago
    hey camille! what color grading did you use? is it a plugin? is it magic bullet looks? or you just done it manually? i love your works! all of it. damn! you are good! you got the eye and the style.....
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Well it's a bit of everything, really depends on the footage but usually 5-6 layers of curves, hue/sat/levels/color balance/looks/grain, mixed together.
  • Setzer Bei 2 years ago
    hi camille, im a very noob in editing, so sorry for my ignorance; but when you put those layers of curves and color correction is it on the individual clip or nested? or there is another better way? i really dig your colors and definition of your subject. respect and merci.

  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Thanks buddy,

    Aperture was close to wide open and ISO set at 100, so in a bright sunny day like that the shutter can go up to 2000 or even 4000.

  • Evgueni Tatarnikov 2 years ago
    beautifully done, very atmospheric!
    You had to use some kind of a tripod, right? Or some other equipment for steady movement...
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Hi Evgueni,

    No, this one was handheld all the way, with a non-stabilized lens (but with only 50mm you don't get too much shake).

    But some shots has been a tad stabilized in post, using magic bullet steady or the default tracking tool of After Effects.
  • Evgueni Tatarnikov 2 years ago
    my bad, Camille. now that I watch it the second time, I can see that the camera is live.

    I guess you make the frame in such a way that only the important things are seen, and the rest kind of doesnt matter.
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Hope you're right ;)
  •  
  • Blake R. McRitchie plus 2 years ago
    Camille, great work. Your videos are very inspiring. I'm looking at getting either the 7D or the 5Dmark II... i know you use the 5D but is there that much of a difference in cameras? the quality is the same is it not?

    cheers!
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    From what I've seen the quality is a lot different because of the size of the sensor.

    The great thing with the 7D is the ability to shoot 720p videos at 60fps (great for slowmotion), but the new firmware for the 5D seems to add this feature too (in January/February), so I'll go for a 5D if I were you ;)
  •  
  • Wam Franck 2 years ago
    Bonjour,

    Ton travail est superbe !
    Je viens d'acheter un 7D et suis totalement débutant en ce qui concerne la vidéo ! Tu arrives à trouver ces couleurs, ce grain en utilisant uniquement After Effect ? Utilises-tu des plugin externes ?

    Je ne sais pas vraiment vers quel logiciel me tourner...

    Encore une fois très beau travail !!
  •  
  • Daniel Weaver 2 years ago
    This fantastic. The image quality is amazing...did you shoot RAW? The Colour correction is pretty nice. I like the shifting focus too, it's a very nice touch.
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Thanks Daniel.

    I would love to shoot RAW but you only can do that with the RED, not the 5D mk2, but maybe with a future mk3 ;)

  • IF Chen 2 years ago
    this is really GREAT. May I ask what was your picture style setting on the 5D? :)
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Well for now I was just using the standard picture style, and settings are quite basic, only playing with aperture.

    But I spend a whole day of work on the grading which is really (but really) important for me.

    Mr. Camille,
    this is one of the best looking videos of the 5d iv,seen!!
    the color correction is out standing..!!

    did Ralph Lauren Use this in any media?
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Hi Paco, thanks for the kind words.

    Well the video was only shown on the Vente-privee.com website, the company doesn't offer them rights to use the trailer in their own website, that's would be great and a lot of brands ask for the videos.

    But that would be too complicated in term of rights (models, photographers etc...).

  • Fiat Lux 2 years ago
    really impressed by the work on grading and lens/blur setting especially did you do any post treatment on blur of the front and the background ?
  • Camille Marotte plus 2 years ago
    Hi,

    No blur post treatment, it's all in-camera with a wide aperture.
  • Fiat Lux 2 years ago
    ok respect you master focus impressive why did you change for a 5D rather than a video camera ? because of the image quality or/and because you come from photography may be ?
