Dublin's People: Phil's first 1080p24 short from the 7D

Pretty much. Gots to drop some custom settings on it. It was more important to me to see what the 24p Cadence/Motion Rendition looked like. Pretty square for me.

I think by the time the camera gets here my back-ass-ordered (technically) Zeiss ZF set will be here. Swayt.
 
This montage was good, but via vimeo nothing stood out to me that separates it from the better GH1 clips.

Where the 7D will move ahead is non web delivery or applications that take advantage of its bitrate like chromakeying, FX
or seeing footage on 1080 screens or projected.

EDIT :
I would love to see a 7D example of someone accurately pulling focus all over the place because they are using the HDMI out.
Now that is something the GH1 could not do.

I'll at least say that it has a more "organic" look and feel to it than the 5Dll. The 5Dll has a more.."hard" sharp digital look to it (not that this is bad). But you're right...both will have its purpose.
 
Well I can see my HVX - Letus combo getting flicked VERY soon. I have barely even used the letus, but the resolution on these DSLR's is so much better than my grungy HVX. And WAAAAYYY less hassle to set up and knock off a few shots.
 
is it to clean?

So is Hollywood shot 35mm movie film. I have no idea what people see in the grainy awful looking footage from the D90 and D300s, unless you want that 16mm retro look. That is not the look of 99% of big budget movies out there. They don't have that look neither the dizzying in and out of focus shots. It is clean and very sharp.

As far as aliasing on the 7D footage from Philip download the file. In no way compares to the Vimeo version. Very negligible aliasing on the downloded file. Great work again Philip Bloom.

Not talking about grain,,,,,talking about the "look" and it does look really good but does it just look like really good 1080HD? Which there is nothing wrong with that and it has its purpose.

Yes is does. Which is what it is. I'm not sure I'm understanding your question.
 
these don't look grainy from the D300s

I'm going to agree here, absolutely. Since Philip evidently uploaded the 1080p version and Vimeo displays 720p max, the compression must have done something to exacerbate the aliasing. I watched it through my Playstation 3 and really enjoyed it. Great stuff.
 
Neither of those two clips are HD. If you're drawing conclusions about the look of a D300s from these two clips, you're not seeing the whole picture.
 
amazing looking footage Phil, would love to see the same stuff with a lower contrast to see how it compares to the flat red footage.
 
Just watch the film again- Very usuable it seems considering no grading was done I'd like to see how the footage grades in comparison to xdcam ex 420 and DVCPRO HD in terms of color to test its usability with some lower contrast footage (as another poster stated). Also I'd like to see some stress tests for DR- in the alleyway shot the streetlamps clip (1:37) a little harshly but it actually isn't anything that can't be avoided in 98% of situations. I love the shallow DOF characteristics and I'd like to also know what iso was this shot at (sry if someone already posted) the footage looks very clean for night with all environmental raw lighting

From M. Bloom's fingers:

I took the Canon 7d, Zacuto Tactical rig, Z-Finder V2 and one lone lens, a Canon 35mm f1.4, which becomes more like a 50mm lens on the 7d. So a bit like what I did with Sofia’s People (but I didn’t have the Zacuto rig for that).

I shot 1/50th of a second as I was shooting 24p and to match the 50hz frequency of the artificial all around me in Temple Bar so there was no horrible banding and flickering. Most of the time my ISO was between 400 and 800. Some shots I even had at 200 and a few are at 1600, especially the end sequence.

thanks Michael- I must stop speed reading at times... this is remarkably clean considering the iso was pushed to 1600 and there is very little noise throughout- I will be sure to pick one up by November
