Dimitri Popov 3 months ago

Wow! Absolutely awesome pictures and cutting!

After all those forum comments is was not sure about the image quality of this camera, but now I'm almost definitely getting one ;)
JB 3 months ago

This is a great video. It is so much more enjoyable watching footage from DLSR cameras that do not include bokeh overkill or videos 2 seconds in length. D'you know what I mean?
Naija Docs 3 months ago

Great vid plus love the color grading
Which lenses did you use
thanks
Bernie Hipos 3 months ago

As per Jason, there was no golor grading done on this one and they used available lights only. Amazing quality isn't it? I'm definitely getting one once it's available.

Wow, that is nicceeee. I want one but $1,700 is a lot of dough for an amateur that I am. But it looks like it is worth that much money. Oh, I have to check the bank acct.

Very Good Job! The clips are stored h264. Which Premiere preset did you use to edit the video? or perhaps you did a conversion before?
Jalaludin Trautmann 3 months ago

Nice. Good music choice. But what about the sound?
emmagination 3 months ago

Everyone questioned the ability with the low light footage. I think you just showed how well it can perform with this video. Great job.
g4esy 3 months ago

this video has convinced me of 7D's potential, the video gizmodo put up didn't serve it justice. I love it documentary too, awesome shots.

this is making me want to put down my XSi. Awesome video!
bob lorrimer 3 months ago

Excellent work with the 7d.

At the end of the day filming is about pace, shot variety and storytelling. It is All here in this short video.

I f you are interested in A DSLR 7d everything you need to know is here. (Mine is on order! Sadly, I cannot order talent!)

Julian Willemsen 3 months ago

Bernie, I know it might be silly but I find it confusing that so many people use DSLRs to make shorts with.
I never thaught DSLR would be used for making docs!
I've been experimenting with DSLR lenses in front of conventional videocamera's and realy starting to get into it.

I checked out the specs and even though it compresses to H. 264quicktime it still looks ok, max file size 4gig max film duration 29min.
And what about the sound? You use a DATrecorder?

I love what you did there, realy nice short :)

This is so stupendously beautiful. You're killin' me. I am blown away at both the look and the content of what you captured.
Jared Levy 3 months ago

Far and away the best thing out for the 7d so far. Hell, it's just one of the best short docs on this site period. I don't know if you used a crane or a ferris wheel but that move was a nice addition.
Adolfo Cantu-Villarreal 3 months ago

Why there are two of these here on Vimeo? Is it just to make downloading easier?
DaVincicode 3 months ago

Just amazing work. I know you had a Senheiser mic mounted. But did you mix ambient noise with it? And
just kudos to the Editor and Cinematographer.
Michael Herzog 3 months ago

Wow - a great short documentary. I'm also impressed how good the camera works in low light situations.

I like.... but i'm invested in the 5DMII already, but this would be a hell of a backup.

PS: what did you use for audio ?
Paul Zadie 3 months ago

I love cameras as much as anyone else, but it amazes me that the only thing that is getting any attention here is the technology. How about the story? Pictures have no meaning without a story to tell. This is amazing from a storytelling standpoint! All I could think about after my first viewing was where is the rest of it? I really would like to see more of this story. Very well done.

Philip Lemoine 3 months ago

wow this is so good! i was wondering, are the 7D files .MOV files? and if so, what did you do/use to edit them in Premiere? thank you so much because i am having a hard time editing the footage i gor from a 5D.
Bob Nicolas 3 months ago

transcode your files to a format that is native on your editng program. procoder3 for example can convert .MOV h264 files to the most common formats for editing :)
Alejandro Alventosa 3 months ago

Hello, very good your work, I ask myself, since you made to have the camera, where you have bought them, Canon you has lent it? Thanks and congratulations.

Tommy Clark 3 months ago

Great use of not-too-shallow DOF, it's often overdone to show off these video DSLRs. What lens and aperture setting did you use please? I'm researching to buy ;)

Good work!
Andreas Paleologos 3 months ago

This is how a low cost super-camera should be used! To bring stories about real life to the masses. Great little film, great shooting!

rauf 2 months ago

great, great visual and also very strong reportage style!
however, as 5d2 owner i must admit, that theres no comparing IQ between ISO over 800...honestly i was just checking footage, after today fresh testing 7D...you did some good job with converting it to 720p, once again amazing vid!
Jon Chema 2 months ago

Wow! Awesome job man! Love every one of your shots and how you cut them together. I'm shocked that you used no additional lighting. Just out of curiousity, what country was this filmed in? and also, was your mic mounted on the camera or were you using a boom pole. and finally, what lenses were you using? I'm concidering the 7D body with a 50mm prime to start off, shoulder mount kit, FF, and XLR converter.
Paolo Mugnaini-Editor 2 months ago

Fantastic!

I was wondering how you managed NOT to have jello footage on those moving shots? and no aliasing...can you please explain?
I am seriously thinking about getting one of these.

Thanks
shan mugaa 2 months ago

No body mentioned about the heating issue with the Pre launched versions. I realize that it's not a good video camera out there. it has it's limitations. Can't shoot continuous due to heating. Jello Effect on fast pans, But it's a great still camera and a "hobby video camera", not a pro for a client base projects.
Podratic 30 days ago

It seems that there are pros out there that would disagree. It may not be for everybody, but money is being mad from the 7D and the clients appear to be happy.
Ken Ochiai 2 months ago

Wow, I'm speechless. I should have waited for 7D before I bought 5D...
ricky vb 1 month ago

wow. simple to watch yet superbly done. kudos:-)
Bill ONeil 27 days ago

Beautiful footage! I noticed that there is no motion blur on the daylight footage which tells me that your shutter speed setting is way faster the 1/30th of a second that a film camera would have.

I just purchased the 7D along with the 50mm f/1.4 lens and neutral density filters to allow my shutter and aperture to be fixed.

I am also purchasing Premiere CS4 (Windows). Will the 7D mov clips play natively on the timeline or will they need to be converted?
onjoFilms 26 days ago

After a month or so of research I've leaned away from the 5D II toward the 7D. Mostly because of the frame rate. And partly because the quality seems to be indistinguishable.

NOw that is what I call documentary. Great audio and video editing. MOst of the vimeo videos are videos with a song. THis one is complete.
