Dublin's People: Canon 7d 24p
3 months ago
Filmed at the end of the 2 day F-Stop Academy Cinematography workshop in Dublin when we were in wind down mode. Shot on a pre-production Canon 7d.
I took the Canon 7d, Zacuto Tactical rig, Z-Finder V2 and one lone lens, a Canon 35mm f1.4, which becomes more like a 50mm lens on the 7d. So a bit like what I did with Sofia's People (but I didn't have the Zacuto rig for that).
I shot 1/50th of a second as I was shooting 24p and to match the 50hz frequency of the artificial all around me in Temple Bar.
I also shot some stuff 720p 50p with shutter at 1/100th to get the slow motion shots of the juggler which were conformed to 23.98p in Cinema tools to create the beautiful slow motion.
Sound on the last bit was just the internal mono cam mic as I didn't want a big mic on top of the camera.
Big thanks To Darragh and Emma for organizing the workshop. To all the people attended and especially the people who came to the intensive 1 day Cinematography practical workshop on Sunday. Jala (from Germany), Cathal (from N. Ireland) and Jean-Jacques (from France) stayed on another night and joined me for the night shooting. We had a great time. You may also spot my partner in crime Den Lennie a couple of times here.
Music is appropriately by the great THIN LIZZY and is of course Whiskey In The Jar.
Minor colour balance grading was done. That's all to take out the yellow of the sodium lights.
Smoking may look cool on camera kids but it's bad for you! The reason so many smokers in this? All the smokers are outside, all the non smokers are inside due to smoking ban. I hope you notice the one in my mouth was not lit! :-)

Also, the on-board mic appear to be very decent.
Congrat for the great movie!
I love the musicians at the end and the entire ambience - easy, fun, and energetic.

Thanks Bloom for making this video
:-)
I have an important question!
From your personal experience do You think that 7D would beat 5D MKII in video mode?
Which is better?
Quantity of options in 7D V.S. Full frame Quality in 5D MKII...
Bottom of the line, the market will heat up in the following years specially when Red Scarlet is released.
Thanks!
I thought you missed focus on that one old man... then I noticed the tip of his cigar! :)
I actually shot some daytime stuff at f4 yesterday! I know...won't do i again. That will be up tomorrow. For now I need to sleep! Proper work again tomorrow back to my old DSR 450.
Thank you for doing all this work, and getting deprived of sleep for us!
Either way, I'm effectively sold.
Thanks for the vid, my auntie will love this (hails from Dublin herself)
Now I just need to download the original and project it onto a 25ft Screen... haha
I'm all the more reassured with my 7D order. Can't wait for it to ship.
Anyway, kudos on doing this test shoot. It's very intriguing.
well done.
1 out of 3 for me, must try harder for teacher next time ;)

what codec do you edit in?
Since when did the great Philip Bloom not grade?
Incredible images with incredible color without grading.
And no real rolling shutter jello.
I haven't been so excited for a camera since the RED one.
P.S. I love the cowboy hat. I always knew you and Den were Texans at heart. Come visit me for a couple drinks sometime. On me, of course.
Love Texas!
It actually looks it ratchets up a third stop (probably less), then back down just before the cut.
I restarted my computer just to make sure it wasn't on my end.. I could try another, but I definitely see it.
There is a very good chance it's vimeo's reencode that did it though.
The exposure lifts at precisely at frame 3019-3020 (2:05:19-2:05:20) and drops back down at 3036-3037 (2:06:13-2:06:14) maybe it's actually just ambient light changing? The flash version made it seem like it was more abrupt than the original. I am inclined to think it's ambient light because the background light does not seem to change like the subject does.. I suppose I was concentrating just on the subject :)
These timings are from after effects, start frame 0, base 24 non-drop frame.
Like Sofia's People, your love of ordinary people is again given a beautiful treatment. I think James Spencer's (a native Dubliner) comment above is a great and deserved compliment.
It's depressing almost... the amount of money we spend to get that film-look with our camcorders while these DSLRs achieve it natively!
