AfterWork, my first 5D MII video
 

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.

I'd say it served the purpose very well,

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.

I liked it! Welcome to the film world.

two thumbs up on the crotch shot.
