Wow nice picture !

Are you shure it was the factory preset because it looks real natural colors.

it feels more documentary than art this time :)

It's lovely with so many memorable moments. I wished we could hear some of the natural sounds of some of the scenes, but the song was great by it self.

Yes, very grip and rip because I did not plan out this visit, it was just jump in the car, jump out of the car, etc. The ambiance varied so much from scene to scene and there was so much tourist yakking that I decided to cut the ambiance in favor of a more laid back rhythm with the song.

Wow! I tried to think of something brilliant to say but I just couldn't get my mind off the crack in the windshield. :-) Steven, It was a great trip. Can't wait to get you out here again. Don't forget to call the Discovery Channel.

Great Song! Great Footage! Great Company! How can you go wrong.

FYI: The presets were changed when we went to Yosemite.

AMAZING! I was just thinking how great living in San Francisco is and your movie even made it better :D And how you managed to get those perfect footages is beyond me!

I switched the last two shots because the general consensus was that it worked better to end on the cityscape rather than Alcatraz. I agree. The modified version is now online.

Beautiful images!!!! I truly enjoyed the relaxed vibe. Congrats...

as always, your work amazes me...
you truly capture people and places' natural beauty...

used a monopod?

Beautiful colors man. That guys blue beenie looked so cool. And then followed by the side of that bus. Wow!

What a great love letter to my absolute favorite city in the world. You have mad skilz dempsey.

wow now I really want to go back there, you did a really awesome job with the music, images, using the CU to wide shots just great.

Such a beautiful view.

Well done, as usual.

Steven Dempsey,

I always like your work, thanks for this stunning video! Fantastic colour though! Wanted to download this video! I have had your few videos in my Laptop but I lost them!

You have posted some fantastic videos in various forums, the one with little girl and one with snow, one boy and one beautiful lady with car! And there was some kitchen stuff in that video, and the music was fantastic, it was very fast music. I love that video unfortunately it is now not with me, I would appreciate if you can upload somewhere and I can download it again! And if you can upload this San Francisco I would really appreciate it!

Here is my profile on vimeo if you would like to see my work: vimeo.com/user318721/videos

Would highly appreciate your suggestion/ feedback.

Thanks.

Mr. Dempsey, it was because of your beautiful work that I joined this site. At this point, I am only a hack, but have dreams of becoming an artist like you. And the fact you used the same camera I just bought (Canon XH A1) for this particular video is very inspiring.

Great Work! You are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your presets, comments, and vision.

Nice video. Thanks for reminding me how much I miss living in San Francisco.

one of my fav here
really great movie

Nice work Steven. I came across you sight reading the DVXUser.com forums, and your stuff is truly inspiring. Keep it up!

Awesome as usual. I'm so jealous of you.

Beautiful. Great editing. Made me want to visit SF. Thanks for sharing.

another great video! amazing....

Being a born-and-bread Bay Area native, I want to say thanks for producing such an excellent tribute to a city that I love.

has a big budget feel . looks really great

Absolutely beautiful. You did San Francisco justice. The City ought to buy your video for their tourism effort.

I love this piece Steven, it is nostalgic and reminds me of my trip to San Fran. Plus those darn seals, man, I can still smell them!

But really, nice work, great framing as always, and I loved how you captured most of the highlights of the city, in both close and wide shots with some camera movement. That really made it for me. Again, as always, nice work.

Peace and Blessings,
Hidalgo

How in the world did you get those cars going down Lombard St to be so in sync? Very nice!

Greaaat video!

haha love the shot with the poor guy falling off his skateboard. But in all seriousness I LOVE THIS VIDEO its so laid back and beautiful.

san fran the city where i live, like always you have beautiful shots. im about to purchase an xh-a1 and was curious..what are your compression settings? seems to be you have one of the clearest images of a1 footage. im using fcp 6.

That was Incredible and i also have the same question^?

Fantastic video. Really enjoyed it.

G'day Steven -- another cinematic gem :-)

Very Nice Steven! You put a lot of time and effort into this project and it shows. You have inspired me to do something nice for the community of La Canada CA where I reside.

Kindest and sincerest warm regards,

Lisa J,. Kassner

I think everyone has shared my sentiments...Absolutely amazing work!

What do you use for your color grading? Premiere's Color tools or something else?
