this is for the girl that I haven't met
16 days ago
This is slightly EPIC, be advised.
Finished on 11/11 in anticipation of 01/10/10.
Backstory: This was created for Emily Wilson, who is the sister of Sarah Wilson, a girl I met and became good friends with at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Sarah thought it would be a good idea to set me and her sister up despite the obvious distance in between California (where I live) and Florida (where they live). So I made a video for her sister and got one back, and thus we started talking in June 09, and I am going out to Florida in January 2010... Thus, a good reason to make such a video!
Directed and Edited by - Colin Cabalka
Starring Colin Cabalka, John Travolta, Lucy Chacon, and various other background extras off the street.
Camera - Justin Barlup and Laura Vailancourt
Shot with all natural light.
Graded in Magic Bullet.

Lenses Used:
Zeiss Ultra Speed Prime 50 T/1.1

awesome collection of lenses and bodies, btw :)
I found it on the street, and that is the reason why it was amazing...
:) i like this camera, its pretty cool!
well said Joyce.
I agree.
:) appreciate it!
dude im so glad you saw this. thanks for passing it around. laughing at your comment!
thanksgiving soon!
Thanks for checking it out!
Good luck with the girl.
OMGosh!! thanks for the "like" i feel so liked! haha!
you sync really well ! .. i made a pop video for my artist down the street from where you made this ... he was really scared to sing in the street as people walked by lol .. also we were scared the police were gonna pull us for filming with a hv20 on a tripod without a permit !! ha ha ..fucking hollywood !! lol
none of that shit back home in UK !
im getting a 5dm2 soon .. can you recommend what lenses to get .. im thinking of getting the kit with 24-104mm .. and i need to buy another lens too ..
what lenses are essential and in what order to buy :-)
ant
uk
i tried just a little bit.
hollywood can be crazy about permits and such.
definitely... it helps shooting on something smaller for sure.
for lenses, i would grab a 70-200 f/4 L, its a great lens, super useful. and then get a sweet wide angle.
check out my music video in hollywood lol
vimeo.com/6781385
its only shot on a hv20 .. time to move up :-)
P.S. Thanks for checking TKF out! ;)
Thanks alot, it turned out great, and I had some good help achieving my vision.
Did not know about Travolta, but when I did I hopped like the Energizer Bunny into the right place and rolled the take, and it turned out so perfect!
TKF?
The funny part is.... My name is Emily Wilson, my sister's name is Sarah Wilson and we live in Florida. We also visited France, but a diferent times. Initally I thought that this was some kind of joke. lol
what a coincedence! sorry to get your hopes up if you thought it was for you. hopefully some guy, maybe even a colin, will make you such a video :)
also you seem to know about lenses , if i get the kit 24-104mm lens and a canon 70-200mm lens , will they both be really useful ?
also for video what is the difference in quality if i buy either a canon :
70-200mm 4L
or
70-200mm 2.8L
0r
70-200mm 4L IS
or
70-200mm 2.8L IS
looking forward to your answers :-)
im a bit confused with lenses
so no shock there lol
you say they should only be used in sports photography, but colin here used it in his video and recommends it ..
i just wanna know if the IS will be used when i video ..thats 90% of what ill use the 5d for
