Hey, all.

Just finished a rough edit on my first job with the T2i. This will be edited down, color corrected, and turned into a promo with music and VO.

Let me know what you think.

No sound, right?

Looks great!! Looking forward to the final cut.

I don't know why, but I just wasn't convinced the T2i was as good as the 7D, quality-wise. I'm so glad I'm finally seeing sample footage like this which makes me realize the video capabilities of the T2i are just as good as the 7D.

Thanks. Yep, no sound (yet). The onboard audio wasn't worth including and won't make it into the final cut.

I'm pleased with the footage I got, and this is only my first shoot with the camera. So I don't think you have anything to worry about regarding the T2i's quality.

The 70-200/2.8 is the L-lens? The I or II?

Skye Giebink · April 23rd, 2010, 12:43 AM

The Mark I.

Okay... Still got one more question: did you use a follow focus?

Skye Giebink · April 23rd, 2010, 10:33 AM

Nope. I have a DFocus, but don't have any rails yet. I did, however, use the follow focus rings on my lenses, as they seem to give me a little more control.
