This is my friend Taylor Nighswonger. He committed himself to be a full-time missionary after his 6 month long missions trip in Mexico and Peru. His next trip will be at Ensenada, Mexico from February 11th-17th of 2010 which will be one of many trips he will be going on. He currently has a job and with the money he is earning here in California, he plans to use it all for the next long-term trip he plans to go on. All Taylor asks from everyone else is just their support and prayers as he continues his journey.

  • Great story, only one advice would be to give an 'establishing shot' of him talking at the beginning to see how sincere he is on his face.

    Another really well made video Jon. I love seeing quality vids, especially ones shot with the 7D! That 30mm looks really nice, I have a 50mm 1.8, but something a bit wider like this would be awesome.
  • Jon Chou 1 year ago
    thank you!
    yeah i have the 50mm 1.8 as well, it's great for certain situations
    i love the sigma 30mm 1.4, hopefully i can upgrade to an L series lens in the near future.

    Hey man..

    Finally got my 7d & Sigma 30 in the post today, been playing all night, even set up the flat look using the links you provided, but looks like i have some experience to gain ahead of me.. not sure if shooting PAL makes a difference (im very green at photography & video) but i have along way ot go to have that sweet flat yet crystal clear look you have..... do you care to share any tips? :)
  • Jon Chou 1 year ago
    congrats!

    I'm not sure what I can do, the only thing I can tell you to do trial and error! :P
    The more things you mess around with the camera the more you will learn!

    My only recommendation is that lighting is one of the most important things for your video, if you don't have any sort of special lighting, the main thing you want to go for is shooting daylight (which is what I do)

    BUT this is only MY preference.
