AfterWork, my first 5D MII video

[Tomeu Santandreu]

Hi everybody!

Im from the photo world and this is my first contribution as filmmaker

The reason of the film is to show the house, but I didn't wanted an empty house so I invented a little story to fill it with life.

http://www.serraicostes.com/video/VillagesVideo.html

Canon lenses: 17-40 f4, 50 f1.4, macro 100 f2.8.
Natural ligth.
Premiere CS4 encoded to f4v format.

I hope you like it.

Hey Tomeu,
Nice video....which lens did you use when you doing the long pan? I'm new to the dslr movement....It gives a nice effect....


Thanks,
Reggie

Tomeu:
What a beautiful little mood piece. Evocative music, wonderful composition/lighting and who knew that a "house video" could elicit such an emotional response. Well done!

That's the 17-40mm f4 at the wide end I'd bet. I use it sometimes when shooting real estate, but I usually pull it off of full wide because it kind of fish-eyes almost.

Nice job Tomeu... I wish I could shoot my real estate jobs with a story to them.

Thanks Ken,
I just ordered a used 28mm Vivitar f2.8, is it safe to say that all lenses in this wide range can pull it off?

I'm not a big fan of the crotch shot, but it looked really nice. There were also a few times that guys shirt did some crazy stuff on my screen.

I've only seen that 'effect' when panning the 17-40 at full wide (17mm), so I'm pretty sure you won't get that look at 28mm. I usually shoot that 17-40 at around 24-28mm at the widest when I'm panning. I just find that when panning at 17mm, I don't like that look. Bear in mind though I'm talking about when I shoot real estate jobs, which I do quite a bit of. I do use the full wide for static shots though.

Hi!

The pan was took with the 17-40mm f4 at the 17mm position (ISO 4000, 1/50)
The 'fisheye' effect does not disturb me, but you must pan very slow, panning fast will become in unusable fotage.

The shirt effect is aliasing (due to high frequency images). I won't use this shirt again! Jajajaja. I saw this effect in post production, so it was late... there is any plugin to solve it?

I transcoded the film to MPEG2 PAL DVD and the colors looked very bad, any setting to covert the computer color space to TV?

Thanks.
