My daughter had a friend in town so we showed him the sights...

Took my Canon XHA1/Letus Extreme 35mm adapter/Bogen 562b monopod along for the ride.

    Excellent work!!! You always capture great images. A few quick question, what presets did you use for this? Vivd? Is there one that can replicate as close as possible your 35mm adpater footage?

    i would love to hear what the old guy was singing.

    "Under the Boardwalk" :)

    I find myself yearning to hear what all those baskers were singing / playing actually. Was hoping you'd leak some original footage audio behind the Howie Day's on those scenes. But still, you kept me wanting. Thus you've succeeded!! How do you carry around the cam with Letus attached? You seem to have it on on every video. I would too! But isn't it prone to be handheld in busy public?
  • Steven Dempsey 2 years ago
    The Letus, when attached to the camera is quite easy to tote around. The added weight adds stability to the shots. I just basically cradle the camera in one hand and have the other on the focus ring. I also use my Bogen monopod which gives my arm a rest.

    The audio is really distorted because these guys were really loud compared to what I had set the audio levels..so you are not missing anything...you can just barely make out the song through the distortion.

    Do you do alot of color correction from your raw footage or are you just using the miracle preset in which I do not have? :) any help would be great, thanks
  • Steven Dempsey 2 years ago
    Miracle preset :)

    love your work by the way. Did you get my video suggestion because i really think that would be worth a shot.
  • Steven Dempsey 2 years ago
    Yes I did...thank you. Unfortunately my time is extremely limited these days and I grab what I can when I can. I'll keep it in mind :)

    uh-oh, a daughter with a visiting male friend....you'll have to tell me how that goes; I have a daughter myself and the next thing you know......I'm showing her visiting friend the sights-
    As always, love your stuff-I always learn by watching how you film.

    Great video!! What were your settings? 24f or 30f. I just picked up the xh-a1 and I am still learning the depth and power of this camera. The colors in the video were beautiful, was that the camera or done in post?

    Nice! loved the Pike's Market footage. Owns mine. the Monopod looks great!

    and I'm pretty sure that guy with the possum, stores his possum in a burlap sack. Thats atleast what he did last time I saw him.

    Nice :)
    I was wondering whether your 562b monopod will squeak one in a while while moving it around since mine squeaks a lot!

    I love your videos! I love Seattle. My wife and our two-year old son were there three months ago. Went to all the sightseeing places and Kurt Cobain's old home. :-)

    With all that weight and no rail system, how does the connection between the adapter and the camera feel? Is it solid?
  • Steven Dempsey 1 year ago
    I have occasionally gone without a rail system while using the Extreme but I really do not recommend it at all. In fact, I no longer use it without rails...

    if possible you can you tell us your settings?

    Camera settings and
    rendering settings.

    I love your aspect ratio.

    Thanks Steven!

    Smooth. You've managed to give those colours a very cinematic look, contrasty yet richly graded.

  • learner-gr 1 year ago
    Great looking video. The music - the atmosphere and also the handy grip.
  •  
  • Kyle Stebbins 1 year ago
    I was just at all of those places a matter of weeks ago, Steven. Such beautiful work, here, man. Reaaally really great.

    I visited the beach where the Teng video was shot. So fantastic in the NICER (not so rainy) weather... though not as dramatic ;)

    What lens(es) were you shooting on?

  • Lemmy Caution 1 year ago
    I really think that digital has a unique beauty. I prefer the digital look over film. This is fantastic stuff.

    Compelling video -- and with a nice smooth touch - you make it look easy, man ! I've lived in Seattle for years and you've captured a real slice of this town... I want more. When is your next one?
