PUSH PULL

This short film is gorgeous. It follows Pete Billington, friend of filmmaker Landis Fields. The whole thing was shot on Canon SLR cameras: “The entire film was shot on 2 canon 7D’s (mostly at 60p for “slow-mo” flexibility later on while editing) and 1 Canon 5D at 30p which was conformed to a 24 frame timeline.” Crazy awesome.

Solitude
a universal feeling

“A long journey in solitude searching for hope.
A film that communicates in a esthetic pictures poetry and emotion, to explore a new experience in Cinemato Graphy.”
I’m enamored with this short film by Robin RIsser. Shot in the Charente region of France, the locations are enchanting and varied. The “filming” was done on a Canon 5d Mark II, and the attention to detail is amazing.

A gorgeous little short film. And I think this is the first d90 footage I’ve see, personally. Really beautiful. It seems to stack up to the 5d Mark ii well.

Earlier this year, my friend Andrew Hyde and I worked on a video for the band, The Autumn Film. Before going further, check out the video. In this post, I’ll go over some of the behind the scenes: a making of, of sorts.

A Video by The Autumn Film
04/20/09
I’m super-excited to be able to post this video to my blog. I directed/edited it and, along with my buddy Andrew Hyde, shot the footage.
I’ll have a post later this week that goes into much more detail on how we made the video, but for now, just give it a watch and enjoy it.
The singer is Tifah from the band, The Autumn Film. The song is an old public-domain song that she rewrote and added a bridge to. We shot it in her living room with bandmate Dann Stockton recording sound.
Free Music
As they’ve been known to do, the band is giving this video away for free, along with an audio track of the song and two other brand new songs. You can download it (and 8 other songs of there’s) at theautumnfilm.com/share.
If you enjoy it, tell your friends. That’s the whole point.

First Video Attempt
Changing the Game.
02/01/09
Photographer Jeremy Cowart posted these frames from his first-ever video shoot. He shot the video with his Canon 5D MK II—technically, a still-frame SLR camera that happens to shoot HD video.
I’ve heard good and bad (but mostly good) about the camera. But what I really think is fascinating—what I really think will change the game, is the fact that you no longer need a camera costing tens of thousands of dollars (or more) to shoot pro-quality video. You still need to understand filmmaking and you still need to be good at what you do. But the barrier to entry is constantly getting lower. It’ll be fun to watch what happens.
