Filmed in the German "Pfälzer Wald" nearby Edenkoben - looking for sweet chestnuts (or in German "Keschde")!

This is a first test with my brandnew Canon EOS 7D... I really love the look of these takes, but for my next session I will definitely use stabilization equipment.

    Die ganzen lieben Menschen mussten die Kastanien aus den Stacheln holen und du hast wieder nur gefilmt. Aber das sehr schön. Tolle Qualität. Das Zuschauen macht richtig Spaß.
  • Wolfgang Gaebler plus 2 months ago
    Hi Ralph, natürlich habe ich nur mit einer Hand gefilmt und mit der anderen Kastanien gesammelt... ;-)))) Mit meiner dritten Hand habe ich die Kinder rumgeführt und mit meiner vierten Hand habe ich uns vor bösen Wölfen beschützt... oder so ähnlich... ;-))) grüße

    Hey Wolfgang,

    When are you going to join the Glidetrack club? It would sort your stabilisation probs! That said, i actually like the hand held look, gives it a touch of the super 8 look.
  • Wolfgang Gaebler plus 2 months ago
    Hey Alastair,

    I'm on my way to the Glidetrack club... I'm short before the entrance... ;-))

    Greets!

    1. Cooles Video !!! Sehr ordentliches Editing, das einen simplen Familienausflug echt plastisch und lebendig erscheinen laesst ... erstklassige Arbeit !!!

    2. Scheint schon recht herbstlich in der Heimat zu sein ;-)))

    3. Haste Dir also die neue 7D geholt ;-)))

    4. Ruckeleien sind mir auch keine ueblen aufgefallen. Passt alles einwandfrei zu der action-betonten Kamerafuehrung ... keineswegs stoerend. Aufgefallen ist mir allerdings ( nicht nur bei diesem sondern bei den meisten Filmen, die neuerdings mit manuellen Linsen gemacht werden ), dass der "Out of Focus"-Effekt ein wenig uebertrieben wird. Mag aber einfach auch nicht mein Geschmack sein oder besser ... sparsam eingesetzt kann dieser Effekt cool wirken. Der Film hier bewegt sich so gerade am Limit finde ich aber bei manchen anderen Werken is inzwischen schon fast nix mehr scharf ;-)))

    Ansonsten wie gesagt ... ausgezeichnetes Filmchen !!!

    LG aus dem immer noch recht sommerlichen Tokyo.
  • Wolfgang Gaebler plus 2 months ago
    Hi James (oder Berndt...),

    1. Danke!

    2. Ja, ziemlich!

    3. Jaha... ;-))

    4. Ich geb' Dir vollkommen Recht. Ich sehe es auch so, dass das Video an der Focus-Effekt-Schmerz-Grenze ist, aber ich wollte es einfach mal ausprobieren... Und das mit einer Hand am Focus und mit der anderen an der Kamera, ohne dabei zu sehr zu wackeln... ist mir zwar einigermaßen gelungen, aber wie gesagt, das nächste Mal nur noch mit Stabilisierung...

    In Tokyo ist es immer noch sommerlich? Ich muss da dringend auch mal hin... es wird einfach Zeit!

    Grüße

    Horst Jankowski had a hit single in 1965 called "A Walk In The Black Forest" but since it is not under creative commons it would not be applicable here... Nice film, this is the first I've heard of that camera. It looks good!
  • olaf h. ☞ nadu 1 month ago
    ... "h.j.", i´m always impressed again fred! ;))
  • Fred Davidson 1 month ago
    Don't be. If anything I am impressed with how far you have come. You are not quite at the level of Wolfgang Gaebler's expertise but you are getting there.
  • Wolfgang Gaebler plus 1 month ago
    Hi Fred, of course I've heard from Horst Jankowski, but I was even more astonished that it's possible to buy his tunes on iTunes... ;-))) Thanks for the kind words! Wolfgang

    thanks for share.
    Beautiful DOF, colors and positions. The problem is only the wobble effect because the CMOS. Especially in 02:22 and 04:11.
    Very good family video.
  • Wolfgang Gaebler plus 1 month ago
    Thanks, Italo - and the wobble effect is one of the reasons why I wish do this next time with a mechanical stabilizer... ;-)

    Felicidades por el vídeo y por la buena compra ;))
  • Wolfgang Gaebler plus 1 month ago
    Hola Donny! Verdad, la 7D es una buena máquina... ;-)) y gracias!
  •  
  • Nice test ... the 7D is one camera I'm adding to my kit list - wish the 5D had the same features though as I think image quality is better, but only just.
    For videography, the 7D is outstanding.

  • Ron Coker plus 1 month ago
    Nice Going!
    Light weight Gitzo or Manfrotto trekking tripod + fluid head = good value for 7d, coupled with EF-S IS 17-55mm & Zacuto Z Finder. Use this rig as a brace for more dynamic hand held shots.
  • Wolfgang Gaebler plus 1 month ago
    This is a good idea, Ron. I've already looked for the latest Manfrotto single pod & the Zacuto Z-Finder...

  • Peter B. plus 1 month ago
    Nice!
    One question: did you stabilize it with the Steady Cam filter of FCP? I think I recognize the strange wobble because of that. Or is it the 7D itself?
  • Wolfgang Gaebler plus 1 month ago
    Hi Peter! I'm not sure at the moment, because I've tried the FCP filter, but after getting some poor results I've removed it on most of the takes... So, I have to say better than any software stabilizer are stabilized shots... I will do so next time!
  • Peter B. plus 1 month ago
    I do that too: add FCP SteadyCam filter, and then don't like the results, and remove them.

    stabilized shots is the way to go with CMOS. Hope to see more from you! Thanks!

    Looks wonderful! I love how the subjects stood still for a while thinking you shooting a picture... and then realizing its not. Guess folks will get a few of those with this new VSLR cams.

    Any specific reason why the 7D and not the 5D?
    And was this shot fully automatic or did you use manual focus? Curious.
    I've yet to try one of these beasts myself. Stabilizers definitely a +.

    This is gonna be one those family keepsake I'm sure. :) Well done!
  • Wolfgang Gaebler plus 2 days ago
    Hi Hasan,

    I've bought the 7D because it has 25/50fps modes and I don't like to convert too much, because my other cam is a Sony with only 25/50 modes. Often I want to combine footage from both cams easily.

    I've tried several settings... regarding the focus there is no continuous autofocus. So you have to correct it manually, as long as you need it - this a little bit tricky.

    Finally I'm very happy with the 7D!

    ;-))

    Besides the beauty, its nice to see people and families are the same around the world; Video unites the world. Lovely piece.
  • Wolfgang Gaebler plus 2 days ago
    Thanks! And you're right... we are all human and we should remember more often that we all share the same biology... ;-))
