Hey Disjecta I was only prepared to watch the first 2 mins but I ended up watching the whole thing twice! The contrast between your photography and your wife's is interesting and I can see that it really brings you guys closer together. I too would be interested in what settings you use to shoot that quality of video.

I don't really have a specific set of settings that I use but I rarely use auto exposure. I tend to underexpose by about 1/2 more than the usual stop down for 24PA. It really makes the colors rich. But then again, if a scene is darker, I won't make that choice with exposure.
I have the chroma set to +4 but, other than that, my settings are pretty much at the default setting. I currently have the master pedestal set to -6.
I also creatively use ND filters. I try to combine them so that I can keep the iris as open as it can be to get a shallow depth of field. The dof effect is enhanced when I am at full zoom using my teleconverter.
Acquiring a "sense" for good exposure, in my mind, is the key to getting good footage. That and blocking off your scene to where there is not a lot of contrast. I tend to avoid grey glary skies unless I'm deliberately looking to create a silhouette in the foreground. Of course, there are some grip and rip situations where I just don't have that kind of time to control stuff and, in those cases, I will usually go auto on the exposure but only if my lighting is going to be relatively consistent....otherwise the picture is going to be going dark and light like a strobe
Sorry there's no magic settings because it's about mastering photography (which I will try to do for the rest of my life), not pressing buttons and changing menu choices.

Well I will only echo what the others have said in saying so, but there is a lot of talent in your family. It is so cool that you found someone who shares a similar passion in which you can relate. Your works compliment one another very nicely. Like I said one day I will hire you to use your eye for beautiful compositions and storytelling with music. btw what was the track before the credit music at the end? Great stuff.
