Thanks again guys. I am leaving in two days so I have tonight and tomorrow to keep practicing and see what I come up with. These tips definitely give me more confidence and i will pick up a 50 1.8 later today.

BTW, you can always hit the button later in the shot. Let's say you're filming in a dark room and step into the light. Lock it for the dark shot, then push the button once or twice as you make the transition and again when you are fully in the light. The exposure might not be perfect, but this can get the shot for a documentary or vacation reel.

You probably don't have time to get an adapter and Nikon 50mm f/1.8, but be aware that the Canon 50mm f/1.8 has terrible, five sided bokeh. The Nikon, on the other hand, is quite clean. Oh well, it's an inexpensive lens, and will still do much better than your zoom in low light.
The following page (just past halfway down) compares the bokeh of the Canon 50mm f/1.2, f/1.4 and f/1.8. But, hey, for $89 we can't complain. (But we can buy the Nikon.) Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Lens Review
