action test footage t2i

[berylium]

The rain weather in Vancouver, BC improved enough that we shot a quickie action sequence at a local cemetery.

I didn't have a neutral density filter available, so I was forced to use a shutter speed of 125 and an ap of f11 at 100 iso.

In the 2pm sunlight, I couldn't see a damn thing on the lcd viewfinder, and had to focus using the auto mode. I was hoping to get by without something like the Zacuto finder, but it's going to be a neccessity.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the Rebel t2i. Once I learn to get around it's limitations, I feel I will get terrific results.

<3 the headbutt

Pretty terrible.

Angle wrong for pulling punches, hardly an action, no sound.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

Look out, Francis Ford Coppola!

Your days are numbered!

Ditto.



Keep practicing though, you have a long way to go. The positive thing is you are at least trying .

What lens did you have on this

All i can say is there are loads worse in the footage section.

Not bad....not amazing, but not the worst ive seen.

i felt like it took too long for anything to happen in this short....too many shots of their feet walking and them waiting around.

As for the fight choreo, it needs some work. You should make the hits look more realistic, or just cheat the angle so it looks like the hit was real.

I'm a t2i user from vancouver as well, and film a LOT of action sequences with my stunt team. here's a clip of our t2i test shots if you're interested:
