    Charming ... a superbly cut and photographed Christmas Message.

    Fine work with the 5d, and looked great full screen.

    As I was watching this I was thinking, "this has got to be shot from the Canon's 5D." Sure enough...

    Again, well done. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

    Really well done Andrw.. As always, impressed with your work. Gotta love that MK II yea? How long did this project take, Filming, Post etc?
  • VsTheBrain plus 2 years ago
    Thanks Joe. That's a kind series of words. Bout an hour to write up the shot list (it was all pretty clear our heads...almost like it had been living there already). 2 days of filming. Couple hours of editing. Couple hours of colour correction. Carissa helped w/ cc majourly.

    Probably one of the best 5D films I have seen yet. And emotional too – not just another tech test. Thank you! What do you use for color correction? Any effect libraries? Any websites you can point to?
  • VsTheBrain plus 2 years ago
    Thanks Alexander. My wife did most of the cc - it was done using Final Cut Pro's 3-Way Colour Correction tool. Check out her photo blog at carissagallo.com -you can see how she works her colours and stuff... Very rich.

    Did you mainly use the 50mm, or something else?
  • VsTheBrain plus 2 years ago
    Actually used a 35mm for the whole thing... Thanks man, appreciate it.
  • William Wilkinson plus 2 years ago
    Ah nice, had a hunch that might be the one. f/2 or f/1.4?
  • VsTheBrain plus 2 years ago
    f/1.4L

  • Alex Hill plus 2 years ago
    Nice job, really liked that film, use of colour and editing was excellent.. If I can ask you a question. Did you know the song you wanted to use before you filmed, or did you just shoot with a style in mind and track down your music later?
  • VsTheBrain plus 2 years ago
    Good question: we knew we wanted that song and planned / wrote the video to that song.
