[lars steenhoff]

whats the iso you think?

[PaPa]

wow @ bokeh. Very nice looking stuff. Jello is still present in that last shot as the camera vibrates making his face ripple ever so slightly, but that, in no means, looked like a wide lens. Can't wait..

[Jim Klatt]

35mm

[Michael Olsen]

According to das Bloom:


35mm f1.4 L series shutter at 1/50th

Edit: Jim...you beat me!

[PaPa]

aight, so we still have to deal with slightly touchy jello, but everything else is perfect.

[Michael Olsen]

It's worth noting, as Mr. Bloom has on his blog, that his camera is a pre-production model. What exactly that means in terms of Jello, however, I have no idea.

[Rakesh Jacob]

Jello seems better than 5D but not as good as the Line of Sight video made it seem :(

[Ian-T]

I thik it's fine. I'm sure none of us expected it to be completely gone. I just want to see images without lots of bokeh...it just makes me claustraphobic.

LOL tell me about your childhood...

[Ian-T]

Dude...my wife's a therapist. Everytime I piss her off I'm disgnosed with something different....everyday. LOL

[Cranky]

When he was 8 months old?

Philip Blooms likes his DOF shallow. Did you notice that he refocused each time another glass was put on the table. I wonder how hard is to focus with this thing. What focus assist features does it have.

It has 5x and 10x zoom. But from my experience with the 5Dmkii it's hard to use on the fly, it's mainly to set up a shot. But the LCD on the 5D is wonderful and Philip said the 7D 's is better so I think focusing sounds and looks do-able on the LCD

LOL Sorry about that, didn't mean to push any raw nerves... but if you wanna talk about it I'm listening :)

[Cranky]

In pause mode only? No peaking?

[Rakesh Jacob]

In pause mode only? No peaking?

Good question, I don't think I tried while recording, so I don't know. Sorry

[bwwd]

doesnt make me thirsty ,makes me angry,its not what i expected from filmmaker when everyone is waiting for decent footage

[Rakesh Jacob]

doesnt make me thirsty ,makes me angry,its not what i expected from filmmaker when everyone is waiting for decent footage

Wow angry? really?
Umm I kinda of appreciate these types of candid shots. Decent footage is usually editing together the best footage and grading them and is basicially like seeing a chick in tons of make up and a pushup bra. For evaluation purposes I think candid, unedited shots are mor revealing and provide a better base line for what the camera's true performance is like.

[ChipG]

I could do without the hyper shallow depth of field but as a promo video it's probably something canon wants to show off so indies can see the range. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

I simply pulled focus manually using the lcd screen, no assist. tricky but am quite good at it after all these years.

MUCH BETTER FOOTAGE COMING LATER. this was a little joke video post

well you won't like my next footage. MEGA shallow DOF. Sorry!

[philip bloom]

DUDE relax. That is me having fun before i test proper. that is why it is ONLY on twitvid not on Vimeo or anything. Be patient please. I am staying up all night to try and put something together for everyone.

[azboy1985]

Phillip, can you do a Jello test in all of the framerates? Please let us know how it holds up against the Red and GH1 and the Mark2

[mcgeedigital]

Looking forward to more tests Phillip. Thanks.

[philip bloom]

Phillip, can you do a Jello test in all of the framerates? Please let us know how it holds up against the Red and GH1 and the Mark2

I can but the problem is this is a BETA camera so anything I do like that may not be representative of the final version.

First off i will do my creative stuff then I will do all the dull side by side stuff :-)

[ChipG]

well you won't like my next footage. MEGA shallow DOF. Sorry!

I'll let it go this time :) Seriously, everything you do is good. :beer:

[Taylor Rudd]

doesnt make me thirsty ,makes me angry,its not what i expected from filmmaker when everyone is waiting for decent footage

Angry? You're not allowed to get angry until you're the one writing checks, and this gentleman is working for free.

This hack doesn't speak for me. Excited to see what you are able to come up with, Philip.

[puredrifting]

Bitch, piss and moan, jeez. They are so ungrateful Philip. THANK YOU for posting anything with this camera. THANK YOU for taking the time to obtain it and put it through its paces. I have gone through the same thing when writing reviews and articles, they want EVERY possible combination of circumstances, variable and situation tested but they don't realize how long it takes and how much money you are losing by not doing all of this on a paying gig.

Once again, THANKS for all you do for the community with your site, clips and insight.

Dan

[John Caballero]

If people are going to be so disrespectful the least they should do is sign in with their full name, not hide behind a few letters. Philip Bloom I really appreciate and respect all your wonderful work. Thanks a million.

[bwwd]

relax dudes ,it was just a joke

[Rakesh Jacob]

relax dudes ,it was just a joke

Sorry didn't read the sarcasm :beer:

[sblfilms]

I for one enjoyed the clip and like that Philip is addicted to appletinis to the point that his first video from the 7D is of a bunch of empty tinis. :beer:

[mhood]

You wouldn't guess that a man could be addicted to appletinis and pull focus that well...

[DM_rider]

Ugh, I just bought a Blade. I know I'll love it, but the vdslr's are getting more and more tempting...

[Ian-T]

Thanks Phil. Your work is much appreciated.

[sunburst]

thanks Mr. Bloom! I liked it.

did you by chance name this Sophie's Sipping?

{ loved sophies people, btw }


I'm also glad I didnt hear the old gh-1 drinking expression:

" here's mud in your eye" !

[griffin86]

oddly, I've never seen something so mundane suddenly become astonishingly intriguing:-) lol

Shout outs to Philip on this little sample here- I can't wait to see more

[ChosenPredator]

Philip, is the soul reason i got into the DSLR cameras and damn this footage looks so nice and delicious that I want to stick a fork in it and eat it. I wonder how the stills look with it too.

[sblfilms]

Nice work Phil, much appreciated. Downloading the 720p clip on Vimeo. A couple of nits to pick with Phillip's write up (though I forgive him, he does look tired!).

"using just my Canon L series 50mm f1.2 (which effectively becomes an 80mm with the 1.6 magnification you get when using a full frame lens on an APS-C camera)"

A big misconception that people seem to have. An APS-C sensor does not magnify the image at all. What it does is only captures the APS-C sized area in the middle of the lens projection which narrows the field of view but doesn't cause any magnification at all.

"What it does is simply stretch the clip out to 25p effectively doubling the length of the clip giving you perfect slow motion."

This is definitely nit picky, but all that the conform function (which I adore) does is change the meta data so that the player or NLE plays the file back at that framerate. It actually doesn't alter the video itself at all (which is why it is nearly instant).

[tony240sx]

Thanks for this Phillip. Excellent work as usual. I can't wait to see what else you put together with this thing.

[Isaac_Brody]

Nice footage, looks fantastic. Can't wait to get mine.

[xbourque]

I wonder how the stills look with it too.

What!? You mean this thing shoots stills too?

[HHL]

Your work is inspiring Phillip. I assure you that you are an inspiration to thousands! Thanks for giving us all insight and perspective. We all look forward to seeing your 7d footage and hearing your perspective.

[astigmatic]

nice footage, so how does the resolution compare to your ex1?

[Cranky]

How about conforming 50i to 25p? Does it alter video at all? It does not alter original video, but it does alter what you are getting.

In Vegas, video is played back with slower speed, but the event's length on the timeline is not doubled, you have to do it yourself if you want to slowdown the whole event. So, saying that conforming to 25p means stretching an event is a bit of misnomer and depends on NLE.

[ChipG]

PB, you drink a LOT! :thumbup:

EDIT: did you drink all those martini's? This video must have cost you a fortune?

I'm calling the canon recomendation # to ask them for thier fax # to send my resume'

This is quote-worthy, man. I want to write an entire feature based on this quote.

[Everts]

Ugh, I just bought a Blade. I know I'll love it, but the vdslr's are getting more and more tempting...


Almost did the same thing last week !
Now im just waiting to see what comes out with these vdslr's.
And start collecting glass.

[Kholi]

I know that you said you were just kidding, don't take this as my slapping your hands or calling you out of your name. I saw that someone else posted "no footage of bees, flowers, etc" in another thread and I'd like to remind people that for working class people like Phillip, sometimes it's hard to pull together something more than just outdoors and people.

The times that you do shoot something magnificent, it may be for a client (or probably always is) and you can't come to the forums and post it. It's quite a sad thing to experience, but work is work.

As well, with the pressure to show footage you kind of just want to give people something to look at it, even if it's just the camera on a bar counter shooting glasses. Vincent Laforet's piece is a serious rarity. We're lucky to have been introduced to the 5D like that.

Hopefully when cameras get into the hands of more users there'll be less bees, trees and automobiles and some lit, narrative footage. Stay cool and let's take what we can get!

[Richard J. Johnson]

The Blade is an excellent piece! I'm running the LEX and since the 7D is relatively inexpensive, I'm going to keep my existing HVX Setup and add the 7D as my 2nd cam.

[Richard J. Johnson]

Kholi, Are you getting a 7D?

Stick to your day job Phil, cause I didnt get that joke :beer:

[Kholi]

Kholi, Are you getting a 7D?

Did you even have to ask? LoL. I jumped on the Amazon Pre-Order list the night before the "official" announcement. About 30 minutes after ChipG. =D

[Richard J. Johnson]

heh, as I said, I already forgave you do to your lack of sleep :grin: Again, much appreciated, Phil. You're an asset to the community!

[Jean Dantes]

Awesome work Philip, and thank you so much for taking the time to test this camera for us all!

I have one minor request: please, please, please do a test to show if "jello" effects this camera in both 720P and 1080P.

Thank you again for all your hardwork!!

[Barry_Green]

Jello definitely affects it, he's already reported that it's comparable to, and perhaps a tad better than, the 5DMkII.

[Cranky]

I liked the short video of the wine glasses much better.

I don't feel like seeing bloody cuts on Philip's neck, and I am not fond of heavy color correction he uses at times. With crushed blacks this video is not representative of what comes from the camera. Did he want to make an artsy piece or to show what the camera can do?

[tfg]

We all know that PB can make any camera look amazing. We don't need reassurance of that. What we wanna see is PB exploit the SH!t out of this camera, so that we know how it stands up to the faults of the 5DM2. Bloom - shoot some badly aliased stuff, and work that jello vision!

[xbourque]

The former.

Test charts and waving the camera at a bookshelf to test rolling shutter is not his thing. And that's great, if you ask me.

I do not get how people could be whining at a guy that stayed up til 5am to edit/grade/render/encode/upload a great short movie for *free*.

Thanks Mr. Bloom. Great work. Can't wait to see more of your 7D stuff.

[Cranky]

Wow, f64manray was right. You really have an accurate screen name.

[Kegan]

Free publicity for what exactly? He's already pretty well known. He knows what he's doing and is taking the time to contribute something. Where's your pre-production model of the 7D?

Kegan

[f64manray]

You mean, for free publicity?

Have you ever heard of "existing in appreciation" It's kind of a spiritual state. Mr. Bloom gives, and we just sit back and appreciate. ...and yes people that give and give like mr. Bloom tend to garner some recognition. I don't have a problem with that.

You kind of sound like a person that I would invite to my house for Rib Eye and and then complain that there is no baked potato.

Yes, but that is only mildy interesting. I find it much more instructive to see the best that it can be.

[sblfilms]

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Cranky is the twit who was trolling Phil's vimeo page as well.

[Cranky]

I don't have problems with appreciating what someone else is doing. I have problems with someone telling me that I must appreciate what someone else is doing just because it is free for me to peruse.

I do respect Mr. Bloom as a person and I do respect what he does, but not for a second I feel obliged.

[Nik Manning]

Cranky tell us what you like and let's go from there. I am not excited to see a man shave either but if it is slow motion, backwards, and on a Canon 7D I will watch it! The footage was just letting us know that yes the camera actually works as stated. I now know for sure that it uses the correct frame rates and it can be easily edited in FCP. Also that using ProRes LT should be good enough for most work with this cam.

That's a lot for some simple video.

[Cranky]

Cranky tell us what you like and let's go from there. I am not excited to see a man shave either but if it is slow motion, backwards, and on a Canon 7D I will watch it!
I like his test videos of the HM700, HPX301 and the HM100. For the HPX301 he actually has two videos: one is a walkthrough accompanied by uncorrected from-the-cam video, another is color-corrected piece. This is a great pair of videos, making a whole package. The HM100 review is very nicely done, but crushed blacks killed it for me, I did not see what exactly the camcorder put out, I saw what Philip made of it, and these are two different things.

[John Caballero]

Nobody should care what nicknamed posters care about or not. I am a professional and
that is why my comments, good, bad or controversial carry my full name. Philip Bloom is giving us a chance to take a look at a professional tool that might benefit us tremendously as professionals and I appreciate his efforts regardless of his video's contents. Thank you Mr. Bloom ,again, as pros we really appreciate what you are doing.

[13th Judas]

cranky, could you give me a link to some of your videos please. thanks. :)

[Kholi]

There's no reason to continue ganging up on Cranky, you just drag it out. He's already stated his case and has given examples of what he does like. On a forum where people are allowed to voice their opinions in a vicious fashion about feature films playing in theaters, it should also be okay with being honest (and polite-- Cranky really wasn't that impolite) about the work of our peers.

Should probably let it rest and wait for more footage from Philip.

[John Caballero]

Well, I guess at the end of the day all the controversy is good publicity for Philip Bloom! After all we all belong to that wonderful world of showbusiness!

[Jean Dantes]

Jello definitely affects it, he's already reported that it's comparable to, and perhaps a tad better than, the 5DMkII.

Thanks for that Barry! I must of missed his post.

I actually wanna know if it's better then the GH1 in regards to jello.

The 7D costs $700 more then the GH1 down here in Australia...guess I'm just really anxious to know if it's worth me spending an extra $700 (on my already ultra-tight student budget lol), and waiting another 6 - 8 weeks for the 7D...

Thanks again :)

[sunburst]

Nobody should care what nicknamed posters care about or not.

John are you attacking the basis for this entire board?

[John Caballero]

John are you attacking the basis for this entire board?

No. To me the basis of this board is to exchange as much information as possible in an intelligent, respectful way. One thing I don't really like and will say it without compromise is that I do not like individuals using nicknames to interact in a professional and informational environment, especially when they attack the work of somebody that is really doing us a favor. Whoever does not like that philosophy well... That is why I applauded and supported reduser.net to go with real names. I love this board and I've learned a whole lot here and I am sure I will learn a whole lot more looking forward.

I make an artsy piece. Want to see some charts? Sorry. Wrong man.

[dadoboy]

Reminds me a bit of Scorsese's The Big Shave. Except no audio commentary on the Iraq or Afghanistan war.

The pieces seem to use available lighting, so I wouldn't judge these pieces as technical representations of what the 7D can or cannot do.

[philip bloom]

Hi Guys,

If you do check out my blog I have clearly said that you will not see a review from me until I have some time with the camera. Yesterday I got a new toy and I was DESPERATE to do some slow motion with it. Limited to my hotel room I did a simple little film to just get some footage out there that is different from the current stuff. Yes it is graded, yes it's not to everyone's tastes. Not all my stuff is graded. Very little of my 5dmk2 stuff is actually.

When the review comes it will be neutral colour profiles with some 5d comparisons. The problem I have is it's not entirely fair to compare the 5d to the 7d as the one I have is a preproduction model so AS LONG as people are aware of this and don't take what I say as gospel (and this is GREAT advice for any reviews you read from me and other people, these are just opinions, it's what you think that is most important) then I will go ahead and do lots more filming and as usual share it all with you.

Yes I am not getting paid for this, not by Canon or anyone, and yes it is good publicity for me of course as after all I am a freelancer trying to get work like anyone so the more known I am the better. BUT, the reason I do this, like the reason I started the F-Stop Academy is i love to share imy knowledge, my information, something I have been doing on my blog for free for the past 2 and a half years. I want to give advice, as much as I can and help people out. It's as simple as that.

Trust me, this is not an easy gig. I am up till 3am most nights replying to emails or comments. But I want to do it and it gives me satisfaction.

I am sorry if you were expecting an on camera review of the 7d. That will come, but for now it makes more sense for me to get a feel for the camera. Shoot it in a number of places and situations and share as I go along and THEN give a proper review. If you would prefer I could just post at the end, but I think people like the snippets of info and the fun little shorts I knock off when i can. I enjoy filming more than I enjoy testing. I combine them both in a relatively un-technical way. I am about real world and real life examples.

yes I will go out at night and do some handheld low light. Yes I will do side by side. Yes I will check aliasing. There is a lot to do and I have this camera for 3 weeks. I will make the most of that time and try and be as thorough as I can. What happens at end of 3 weeks? I give camera back to Canon and wait for the one I have pre-ordered from Calumet photo.

I appreciate the comments.

Cheers!

Phil

[Ian-T]

Phil, you really don't have to explain yourself. Regardless of a few negative comments the majority of us respect the contributions from you and the many other professionals on this board. So keep on keepin on.

[Michael Olsen]

As Ian said, there is no justification necessary. Thank you for your dedication.

"I used my Marshall 6.5″ monitor mounted on top of the camera to help me shoot myself"

No Philip, don't do it! You have so much to live for!

Keep us entertained and well informed Philip Bloom. Great stuff you do.

[sunburst]

No. To me the basis of this board is to exchange as much information as possible in an intelligent, respectful way.

Whoever does not like that philosophy well... That is why I applauded and supported reduser.net to go with real names. I love this board and I've learned a whole lot here and I am sure I will learn a whole lot more looking forward.

thanks for clarification. I'm sure users who post with real names, or nicknames,
have there reasons. That's fine by me. I appreciate the free flow of ideas.

There seem to be plenty of real name boards for those who prefer that. I'm sure
those that prefer those boards can be happy there. However, sometimes, on those boards it seems like every post is how polite can one be ? Or some posters sound like they're constantly on prozac. Names may be real, but what about ideas?

as for reduser, it's interesting. Real names are apparently there policy now.
I guess they want all members to stand by what they say. However, how
come the Owner Jannard, posted a thread, that some apparently disagreed with, and it was subsquently deleted? Ie: he can delete what he wants, but it's apparently not an option for his posters? { I didnt see this first hand,
but read about it on another forum, so not sure if its true }

LOL I thought the same thing when I saw that, nice

[dcoughla]

Thanks again for the footage and for taking the time to address the naysayers - enthusiasm gives way to impatience in everyone at some time or another and that post will likely calm them!

[UKyank]

Was I the only one that didn't bother to read that the video was in reverse.... i watched for the first few seconds wondering why this man doesn't know how to properly use a razor until i realized what was actually going on :grin:

Good stuff nonetheless.

Good stuff nonetheless.

that's because i never said it was in reverse in my description!
The clue was in the title. So i started in a subtle way to get that reaction then make it more obvious as I went on.

I to l love your work and your humor. I look for your stuff everyday. Thanks for what you do. :o)
