Vancouver - Testing the Canon 7D
2 years ago
I was in Vancouver for a few days and spent some time testing out the video mode of my 7d. All random stuff, no theme or story; just cut to music.
Equipment used: 7D w/ 17-55mm 2.8IS, Glidecam HD-2000, and.......rollerblades :)
Color Correction was done in Color and I used the "super-flat" custom profile to help increase the dynamic range for post. 100% 720p 60 conformed to 24p.
I included a bunch of clips featuring moire to demonstrate what you can/can't get away with when shooting deep focus shots. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for checking out my video.

check mine when you get a chance

great grading too...this could be an actual musicvideo imo.
Also, I recommend watching this video on custom profiles if you haven't already; it was a huge help for me: vimeo.com/7256322
excelent editing as well!
really liked it a lot.
1. DSLR's don't have raw video...
2. Jello effect with fast panning..
But if you do it right you won't get the jello or have problem color grading your video, especially canon. Canon's firmware is great.
I have both 5d and EX1, love them both, just not comparable:)

1. Well... maybe not for so long. It's still a rumour because it is not officially confirmed, but still:
canonrumors.com/2009/09/raw-video-for-5d2-7d/#comments
2. Jello effect has nothing to do with DSLR. I had Samsung HD camcorder and I had Sony HD camcorder. None of them was DSLR as we know, and still they both had jello effect when panning quickly. So, nothing to do with DSLR, rather with processors not being able to process such a large number of very large images in just one second.
Very well done, I love it all the way, boy
*Oops...just read above..glidecam/rollerblades! Nice!
did you use the i.s.?
and how long did you practice with the gidecam?
thanks.
thanks for checking it out
Makes me want a glidecam.
I have a 7D on order; would it be ok to ask you a few questions when it arrives?
Thanks,
Matt
I'll put a plug in for cinema5d.com/ though. It's where i've learned everything that I know regarding the camera.
Keep em comming, this is nice!
your 7D video looks better than anything else I've seen on vimeo... I have no doubt it's in large part your own talent + the techniques you mention.
but the clarity looks substantially better too... is it because of the lens you're using? ie, is the lens you're using a lot better than the standard W/15-85 EF-S USM IS LENS, or W/18-135 EF-S IS LENS that come with the standard 7D packages?
I think the clarity that you are speaking from is coming from using custom picture profiles to sustain as much detail and dynamic range as possible until the footage is on your computer. Sort of like taking pictures in a RAW format. The footage looks terrible straight out of the camera when you shoot this way, and that's a good thing in this case. :)
check out vimeo.com/7256322 to see what I mean.
Did you do any of the overcranking / slo-mo in post or was that all in camera?
It is all 60p footage conformed to play back at 24fps
Which ties in to my question. What are your time line settings for this? Actually, could I pick your brain about the process. I've been struggling for years to work with over cranked footage in post (when I edit, not when an editor does it). Let me know dan.a.ramirez@gmail.com Thanks in advance!
Thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching :)
Cheers
I don't have the vest or the arm, I hold it by hand. And yes, you would certainly be able to snowboard with it. Might have to keep it slow as the wind resistance will move your rig all over the place... :)
And if you happen to throw the alignment off it could prove to be very difficult to adjust with cold hands; I've had that problem lol. I hope it works out though, sounds like fun to me :P
i read from glidecam website - it suggest HD-4000 for 5D2+lens.. and now 7D is even heavier than 5D2 XD
so do u think HD-2000 is enough for 7D+lens?
thx~
I was using a glidecam, no vest or arm though. Thanks for checking it out
