EPISODE ZERO is here folks. Enjoy!

Episode information located under the video.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

Incase you missed the first one, Episode One:

 
wow, either I suck at filming or you're pumping out some great looking shots on that T2i. what kinda lens are you using on it? what are your general settings (iso, resolution/shutter speed, etc etc)? I just bought a T2i so I'm really interested in figuring out just how to get the best possible footy. Funny show, btw.

Haha, thank you so much for the kind comments. In this particular short, a 50mm lens was being used. When filming, I try to use the lowest ISO light allows. The most I'll bump ISO is 400, this is personal preference.

Shutter speed I keep around 30. I never really mess with it, again depending on light. When filming slow motion, and using Twixtor for slow motion... you need to have the shutter speed at a higher setting. No less then 2500.

Depth of field is huge. I play around with that a lot.

T2i is an amazing camera. Capable of TONS. I have a 7D, and use the T2i over it all the time.

Another thing to remember is this isn't raw footage... The raw footage doesn't look horrible, but color correction is super important to get that nice crisp look. My color correcting is flawed. But thats what this is all about, getting better.

This is true. I forget all the time that I'm not color correcting yet... I suppose it does make a difference. I'm also definitely getting a nifty fifty... the f stop on the kit lenses is horrible. Again, good job

Apologies, I'm using the ZaZa Slider? I think thats what its called.

The days we were filming these... it was absolutely freezing. Some of the panning footage may look jittery because of this. I'm working on a fix for this, as the next few months are extremely cold here. I plan on pumping out 3/4 more of these.

I may start to use the kessler for one of them.
 
Actually, it very well could be. Filming hasn't started yet. Still conceptualizing.

Please provide a download link when 4K is available.
 
Thank you for the kind words.

4K isn't out of the realm of possibility for Double Zero... Though it won't be with a T2i as that was proven a hoax.

Soon, we are working hard to get one out before the end of next month.

Trying to be a bit more precise on the shots. I want it to be well thought out, and fun.

Are you filming it in 4K? Are you still going to use a canon camera? How is that even possible?

Still unsure about the 4K situation, but I'm leaning towards no. Files are waaaay to large. And its possible, for sure.

Teddy, Hello and thanks sir.
