I didn't intend on using video much with the new camera, but I plan on using this thread to post some of my thoughts on it as I learn more about the feature, including how to edit this stuff. For now, just a little sample.



Click through to the Vimeo page for HD.

Shot in manual exposure mode, ISO 200, 1/30th @ f/5.6 through a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens. Edited and converted to 720p in iMovie.

I'm looking into editing options for my more powerful Windows desktop (this was done on a base-model Mac mini) and right now Adobe Premiere seems to be it -- but the CS4 Production suite would run me ~$400. A steal for what you get, I know, and I could probably make back a little bit of it selling my current PS CS4 Extended license key/disc, but I'm just not sure I'll get into video quite enough to make that a worthwhile purchase.

I'll also post up any links I find while scouring the web for more info.

I think I've given up on the photo part, and am now turning my attention to making lousy movies!

needs more boobs

Some vag would be nice too

yeah, movies are fun, but the editing process is such a PITA it gets old for me.

and I thought you said you lived in canada? I don't see any igloos?

I don't mind the editing, it's the workflow that I have to figure out -- I've never done anything with video, including reading up on the topic.

The igloos all melted

i used to love editing video, making action sync up with sound tracks was a challenge, but the product was very rewarding.

Toying around with some test clips for a conceptual/scenic film project that I'm fleshing out for the summer. I seem to have forgotten to enter the subtitle.

Thanks dude. There's a lot to learn going from photo to video, yeesh.

The House season finale was apparently shot on a Canon 5D Mark II.

I would get one just to SHOOT video with, if I had the cash. Interchangeable lenses and low light handling is something I would love to have on my video cameras.

Maybe...

Sorry I though you were being funny, it has been mentioned in a few threads now.

Dammit. I don't hang around here enough to avoid the WTLW.
