    awesome video mike! very talented musicians! that last band was incredible! I'm about to purchase a 7D myself i can see that im going to make the right choice.
  • Mike Kobal plus 2 years ago
    thanks Darwin, right choice, 7D. you won't regret it. great tool.
  • Darwin Go 2 years ago
    had a look at what arnaud was talking about, is that the painful rolling shutter that has been going around in forums? or was there some post work involved for that clip?
  • Mike Kobal plus 2 years ago
    ae pixel blend side effect, nothing to do with rolling shutter, slowed the clip down by 15% and since it was shot at 24fps using pixelblend produces much smoother motion. the moving walls is a side effect from pixel blend, will replace it tomorrow
  • Darwin Go 2 years ago
    ahh the culprit. have been playing around with time displacement lately and i think it could be applied to slo mo work... havent really tried hard enough though.

    Very nice video Mike, but what is happening at 2:01 and after.. when the people walking behind the lady and the girl pass front of the wall, there is a weird distortion happening of the square.. what is it ?
  • Mike Kobal plus 2 years ago
    thanks Arnoud, ae pixel blend side effect.

  • Mike Kobal plus 2 years ago
    thanks Franssu

  • The camera movement and wide angle shots are very nice
    now I feel you need one more 7D! on the set + a zoom H2 recorder
  • Mike Kobal plus 2 years ago
    thanks SMS. yup,2 or 3 cameras would be ideal for this kind of stuff. not sure how to do it in the subway by myself ;) had my Edirol r09hr, but decided with all that background noise wasn't worth the hassle.
