Drew Painter 1 year ago

Thanks Andrw! Can't wait to see the Light Outside video...
Roy Brown 1 year ago

Has a great cinematic feel. These cameras really shine in dreary light.!! Nice job- excellent footage.
James Ha 1 year ago

Beautiful shots, the music fits the video perfectly.

What are you using to slow it down? It looks so smooth.
Drew Painter 1 year ago

Thanks!

I used cinema tools to conform it from 60 to 24fps.
Josh Piersma 1 year ago

great Job. Solid editing if there was a prize for the 1st person to make a decent video with the t2i in the 1st 24hours of getting it. You win! Your on 50mm

El Holandes 1 year ago

Hey I saw you had some questions with Sony Vegas and I received this webinar link in my email a couple days ago.
It is basically 10 how-to techniques. It's about 45 min but there is some useful stuff in it. Just thought it could help you out.

Thanks. I need a new lens for my soon to be delivered 550D. NOt sure which one to buy. I googled a lot and basically lots of them say I should buy a 24-70mm canon or sigma. I have a a lenskit 15-55mm EFS at home which people say is not good and unsharp, so that is why I want a new lens. Maybe I should go for the 24-105mm canon or sigma? I am gonna use the 550 for video mostly.
Mike R 1 year ago

how did u manage to not get it wet
Drew Painter 1 year ago

Cut a hole in a plastic bag, stuck the lens through and held an umbrella over the camera. Not the most professional rig but it worked.
Collins Pace 1 year ago

This is awesome! Best one I've seen so far. As long as payday is as generous as I'm thinking it will be I'll be picking mine up at the local shop tomorrow. CAN'T WAIT! Great work.
andysmile 1 year ago

So good the cinematic video it looks like. Thank you.
Alex Everingham 1 year ago

That was awesome. This camera looks amazing. those reverse shots looked really good too. This could rival 7D stuff.

Excellent choice of music, that's probably my favorite film soundtrack ever. Clint Mansell is a genius composer.
Drew Painter 1 year ago

Thanks Alex!

Agreed on Clint Mansell.
Francis Coral - Mellon 1 year ago

This is a nice video the backwards slomo snow was awesome check out my 550D one too.

How did you get your so soon...did you order the kit?

Thanks.
Daniel Dragon Films 1 year ago

I'm probably the only person here who's excited because I have a 50mm f/1.8 lens on the way for my 7D. This is a really nice film, I can tell you didn't just start filming today!

With the T2ik, Now the whole world can be filmmakers. And we can turn Vimeo into internet TV. :-)
FOCUS35.COM 1 year ago

Good choice. the 50mm f/1.8 is the first lens everyone should buy. EXCELLENT low-light and it's only $89.00.
Paul Sellen 1 year ago

Great framing!
Gavin Owens 1 year ago

very nicely done for a camera test.
Good stuff
D.J.G 1 year ago

Nice! What memory card are you using?
Drew Painter 1 year ago

Delkin eFilm PRO, Class 6, 16GB
FOCUS35.COM 1 year ago

is class c = class 6????
Would you recommend this card?
Drew Painter 1 year ago

I really haven't shot enough with it to "recommend" it but, so far so good.
About Her Films 1 year ago

are you using a USB or firewire card reader?
uldmedia 1 year ago

Very nice movie.

Please can you check if the camera output 1080i over hdmi while recording like the 7D or only 576p/480p like the 5D II?

Thanks
Daniel
Robert Sterling Gingher 1 year ago

Nice work, Drew. I like the cello, too. What's the work?
Drew Painter 1 year ago

Thank you Robert.

The music is "The Last Man" by Clint Mansell from the film The Fountain.
Robert Sterling Gingher 1 year ago

Thanks! Have downloaded it; dig it. Also thanks for iTimelapse sequence. Didn't know about that app.

Compelling imagery, Drew. Excited you own one now!

Santiago A 1 year ago

nice footage, did u use an external mic? or is the inbuild one. like the sound
Drew Painter 1 year ago

That's the built in camera mic. It's nice to overcrank and still get audio.
Steve Richer 1 year ago

Excellent!
Ahsan Arshad 1 year ago

very nice Drew.. love the quality ....

did you use tripod only or any other stabilization equipment? :)

cheers!
Drew Painter 1 year ago

Just my $20 tripod. That's why there's only one tilt and no pans. Moves don't look good on those sticks.
MediaServe International 1 year ago

Great job. Thanks for posting!
Mohamad Alobidey 1 year ago

GREAT VIDEO, NICE WORK WITH 550 D
I LIKED IT
BUT WHY YOU DID THE CUT AT 0.55 I LIKED TO SEE THE FOOTS IN THE SCEN
:(
Drew Painter 1 year ago

Thanks MJM. I wanted the drops of water in sync with the music but liked the feet on the stairs at the end of the video and didn't want to use that shot twice.
James Garland 1 year ago

Fantastic! Beautiful job. I have been told my T2i will be here by next Monday. Keep up the great work!
Sam Morrill 1 year ago

I am so conflicted about this whole T2i vs. 7D business. This video definitely scores one for the T2i, though.
Mohamad Alobidey 1 year ago

thanks , DMP .
you did great Vid

do you have problems with 550 d ?
did you get the new plug in for FCp
Drew Painter 1 year ago

No problems yet and no plug-ins for FCP needed. Just imported and edited.
Jordan Romberger 1 year ago

FCP 6 or 7? I'm worried that my copy of 6 won't import footage if I get this camera.
Nick Torres 1 year ago

It will, All you need is the EOS Plugin for Final Cut
Iain 1 year ago

Cool feel to this video. The shot of the polka dot boots on the step made me smile.

You could've said it was a 7d, and I probably would've believed it. Do you feel the same way?

Short of physical differences, I can't see any.
Drew Painter 1 year ago

Thanks Iain! Yeah, I really don't see any differences aside from the physical.
Steven Dent 1 year ago

Your footage looks fantastic ungraded.

I can see why people increase the latitude, though, if they plan to grade it. The blacks are too dark otherwise.
Drew Painter 1 year ago

Agreed.
Rob Imbs 1 year ago

Very pretty, probably the prettiest footage I've seen from this camera so far. Great work!
michaschmidt 1 year ago

yep did it for me too ... :)

Patrick Foran 1 year ago

That is some gorgeous footage! I love the combination of a photographer's sense of composition and a cinematographer's eye for movement and framing. Slowing the 60fps down to 24 is pure genius.
Francis Coral - Mellon 1 year ago

The more I watch this the more I appreciate the film-making done here. Even without the camera it is pretty genius, but shows off the camera and detail possible very well. Inspires me to make better films. This and Nino Leitners video hands down are the best 550D videos right now.
david pexton 1 year ago

This is awesome man. I really dig the reverse effect. Nice choice of tunes too.

I am going to save up for one of these. Thanks for posting :]

Ok...I´v seen, do you think I should get one like this?
Hiroller 1 year ago

Haaa is that Kensington lol...Great Footage, Definitely the best i've seen out of this camera so far...
Drew Painter 1 year ago

Good eye! It is Kensington.
Brad Sayeau 1 year ago

How did you get the slow motion so smooth? I thought the t21 couldn't soot at 60fps.
Dustin Keiser 1 year ago

It can shoot 60fps.
Brad Sayeau 1 year ago

Just read that you can shoot at 60fps at 720. I'm getting one!
Woody 1 year ago

I was waiting for a decent video from this camera. I have now found it. Thanks for uploading so soon. This will now have to be purchased. 7D and 5D owners must be spitting feathers!!!!
Gavin Doughtie 1 year ago

Did you buy the Tokina with a Canon mount or use an adapter. If so, which one?
Drew Painter 1 year ago

No adapter required for the Tokina.

Davon Corbett 1 year ago

im in a huuuugggeee problem. do you think i should just buy the camera with the kit lens? or shouldi save my money, buy the body onlym then get the f1.8? please help me haha
Drew Painter 1 year ago

If you're a new photographer, the kit lens can be a good tool while you learn. I don't think you'd only want to have a 50mm lens. It is nice and inexpensive so you can pick it up in the future.
Davon Corbett 1 year ago

thanks, but which one puts out the best picture quality?
Drew Painter 1 year ago

50mm 1.8 is a much nicer lens.
