My first video ever shot entirely on the Canon 7D and I have to say that I am in love with this camera! Thanks to Henry Bruington for letting me borrow his camera and for helping me shoot the video! vimeo.com/henrybruington

This short film is a compilation of 3 days worth of shooting, and several different concepts mixed together.

Thanks to Jeff Claassen for providing all artwork/props for this video! And for coming out and jumping in the sand with us! You can check out his awesome work here! jeffclaassen.com/


The entire film was shot in slow motion at 720p

Lenses used:
Canon 50mm f1.4
Canon 100-400 f4.5
Canon 17-35 f4
Canon 100mm Macro f2.8 (THIS LENS IS AMAZING!)

    This is awesome. Did you guys use any rigs for the handheld stuff? I love the macro eye shots and wide shot of the field. Also, sick lighting starting around the 20sec mark!
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    Thanks man! I didn't use anything for the handheld, just plain old fashioned hand held. I'm glad you liked it! It was definitely one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on!
  • Ben Ericson 2 years ago
    People must make out the rolling shutter to be a lot worse than it actually is... I've rad on numerous forums that handheld use is impossible. You need a steady cam, dolly, etc... It looks great to me.
  • iamkalaniprince plus 2 years ago
    I definitely think the rolling shutter issue isn't that big of a deal. This footage looks FANTASTIC. Makes me want to get a 7D just for the 60p-ness of it all. Until then, I'm stoked on the 5D2. This makes me want to try some close-up eyeball stuffs. Well done : )

    Love and Aloha, iamKP-

  • this was niiiiice, really nice to be your first video on 7D. Keep getting better ;P (i like the shot at 1:25 that macro lens work very well with the 7D, i love the details!)
  • and the music fits very well too.

    I loved it , the end part is great...how do you grade the camera for real(vs. fun) video work ?
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    What do you mean by grade? Are you talking about color correction grading? Or wether or not I think it has practical professional applications?

    I think this camera is amazing and I am selling my HVX200 to buy one. It's portable and 10x sharper than my HVX!

  • BumKi Cho plus 2 years ago
    Reflection shots on an eye was incredible. Great work, Patrick.
  •  
  • Teddy Hoffman plus 2 years ago
    Nice work! I agree on the quality of the 7D compared to the HVX. I think that would be a great move. I am on he market for a new camera and thinking seriously about a 5 or 7 D. Great job!

    Wow, very very nice! I've been on a decade long mission to get the perfect eye close ups and yours are awesome! Excellent editing as well... did you do that? If so, you've got to kick me down some skills bro!

  • dolly plus 2 years ago
    very nice !!!! the quality is so amazing !
    The 100m f2,8 is the "L" one ?
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    yea I think it is, I borrowed it from my father who is a professional photographer, so I'm betting its an L series.
  •  
  • Luke Pygman 2 years ago
    I love it Patrick! I'm really thinking about getting a 7D, but I'd like to see what Nikon comes out with next...
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    yea I'm geting a 7D and using Nikon glass on it, considering I already have a ton of Nikon lenses, I'm just getting a little adaptor ring thing. It should be no different.
  • Brian Stansfield 2 years ago
    Novoflex Nikon to EOS has been great on my 7D... def worth getting. AWESOME looking work man... What picture profile setting are you using on your 7D for this?
  • Henry Bruington 2 years ago
    SuperFlat!! its the sharpness down all the way, the contrast down all the way, the saturation down two notches, and the color tone stays the same.

    everything else is just color correction
  •  
  • Nice editing! :D
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    thanks dude!

  • Trankilstef plus 2 years ago

  • DaVincicode plus 2 years ago
    Patrick for your first shoot with the 7D I congrajulate you. And nice choice of music. You had one thing that is key to any production and that is you had "fun". Also you had some amazing lens on your shoot. The 50M 1.4 and that 100M Macro Lens 2.8. But its not always about the equiptment but what you shoot. And tons of credit go to you and Henry. Along with all the people involved in front and behind the camera.
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    YES! I agree! Having fun is the most important thing!
  •  
  • marfab plus 2 years ago
    I certainly wouldn't give the camera all the credit for this exceptional work.
    Great use of color.

  • The Barbour Shop plus 2 years ago
    Fantastic lighting, mood, and color. The macro details are sick -- like the sand texture starting @53 seconds. Stunning eye refections. The faces hanging from the tree are quite magical. Love the golden light on the actress and landscape. Can't wait to see what you shoot next.
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    Thanks Meg! Can't wait to show you what I'm shooting next week!

    gotta love that 7D buddy. Happy New Year!
  •  
  • Aaron M. Buckley 2 years ago
    wow. great piece. loved the macro shots and the colours. did you adjust the colours in post?
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    yes I did a lot of color correction. mainly crushing blacks and brightening midtones, then I changed the overall color temperature of some shots, making them cooler or warmer or more green etc.
  •  
  • John Deckart plus 2 years ago
    great job! An incredible opportunity to enjoy a beautiful film days.
  •  
  • alex ahlund 2 years ago
    Great stuff! What sort of color grading did you do?
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    just a lot of crushing the blacks and whitening the highlights and then affecting the overall color temperture. Nothing too extreme except for the last few shots I made the midtones a lot more saturated and orange. All done with FCP 3-way color corrector
  •  
  • Pedja Rusic 2 years ago
    Hey great vid!
    On what scene did u use the 100-400?
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    the 100-400 was only used for the telephoto shots of the girl walking towards the tree. I wanted to use it more but didn't have anything that needed to be that telephoto. Next week I'll be shooting a lot with it though!
  • Pedja Rusic 2 years ago
    osom imo a lot of good scenes can be done with it ;)
  •  
  • tschikay 2 years ago
    never seen so good close-ups from the human eye..great film!

    so, ist's 100 mm 2.8 L lens and not the 100 mm 2.8 lens I guess? I want to shoot such eye shots too ;-) , but I don't think you can achieve this with the normal 100 mm 2.8, or am I wrong?
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    Uhm I don't really know if the lens I was using was an L lens or not. But if there is a 100 2.8 and a 100 2.8 L lens. You would be able to do EXACTLY the same things with either lens because the focal lengths and apertures are the same. The only difference would be the quality of the glass.
  • Will McGregor 5 months ago
    You're so right Patrick, although I see that this was posted ages ago which means a 100mm macro 2.8 lens didn't exist. The L just came out about 2 months ago, before that canon never made an L for it weirdly.

  • Justin Gallagher plus 2 years ago
    awesome work man, all the shots turned out great!
  •  
  • Charles Son plus 2 years ago
    great work.... a lot of really beautiful images! it makes me a lot less nervous to shoot 720 60p (afraid of the aliasing).

    what'd you use for the quick dolly-ins of the faces around the :17 mark?
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    Thanks man! Yea the 60p looks great! Just as good as my HVX!

    For the dolly-ins I used a tripod dolly thingy (just three legs with casters that the tripod sits on) on my wood floor.
  •  
  • Emre Saraçoğlu 2 years ago
    very nice !!!
  •  
  • Ben Ericson 2 years ago
    I'm also curious what you used to do those quick dolly in shots...? Very rad looking. I almost want to sell my HVX and buy this setup.
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    Yes, I am selling my HVX and buying a 7D now haha.

    The dolly shots were on a little three legged caster thing that bogen makes. You set it up and put your tripod on it and it rolls around on smooth surfaces.
  •  
  • Beautiful shots !
    May I ask what was the lighting setup
    for the close-up of the eye ?
    (I mean the very first one, title frame
    when the film is loaded into the page.
    Was it color corrected ?)
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    It was color corrected, I used the same shot in color later on in the video. I just de-saturated it and played with the contrast.

    My lighting setup was one really big soft light to the left of the subject creating a split.
  •  
  • zero-13 plus 2 years ago
    Beautiful footage and great edit man! For the hand held shots, was there any stabilization applied during post or did you use the z-finder or any other added point of contact with the camera?

    I ask because it all looks very solid. It's as though you have the ability to stop your heart from beating altogether!
  • Patrick Lawler plus 2 years ago
    I didn't use anything for the hand held shots, I've been practicing my steady shooting ever since I got my HVX.

    I didn't use smoothcam on anything in this video, but I do use it frequently it's a great feature in FCP.

    I wish I had had a zFinder, because I found it extremely difficult to shoot the outdoors stuff and expose correctly.
