my first feature with 7D

sorry, but it looks completely like video... as it's been said millions of times, light is what
makes difference between video and cinema, not depth of field...

So maybe he wasn´t after the classic hollywood filmlook? If this look isn´t essential for the story, why complain? Does everything have to look the same? Geeeez...:violin:
 

Although you're awesome for showing footage even after the comment that set this thread aflame, you have nothing to prove to anyone aside from yourself-- and not saying that you're trying to.

Finishing a Feature is an incredible feat, I would suggest waiting until you have a more finished product to show as it's hard for a lot of people to look at images and go "Well it's not finshed yet". There will be many more comments that you and the rest of the forum may not want to hear forthcoming. It happens all the time 'round here. However, it's your material.

Congrats on wrap.
 
P.S. For the record the camera work in your video footage is pretty dynamic. I like it. When graded and cut how you're envisioning it it'll stand out.
 
Footage looks cool, man. Congrats on finishing a feature, you're ahead of 99% of us on here in that category (including me).

kholi, you're completely right, but this board is mainly for professionist, and sharing opinions and experience is what will make everyone of us growing.

Said this, i won't surely publish any more material, at least until i will have a trailer, cut and graded.

I agree with you as well. I just got reminded of the Corrado thread and how that turned out after Adam showed footage unfinished. Thanks for showing either way! Takes guts to put your stuff out there. Kudos. =D
 
Beside from pictures, I would like to share some opinion on how the camera performed in this stressing use i asked her.

I shot 320gb of material in 18 days, with an average of 14-15 hours a day of sets. (the maximimum established was 24hours continuos for the last scene shooting).
I only had 2 batteries, but never had the need of one more, i could averagely record 30min with every battery (viewfinder of course was open much much more time). And only had 2 8gb extreme III card, that were downloaded on a laptop everytime that were full. I never experienced one single over heating of cmos, and i wonder how people can reach it, since i can't imagine a more stressful use.

The was of files is such a good thing, my secretary of edition was always writing audio file and video file for every scene, and having a laptop with all the files always with us, helped many many times to check how an actor was dressed in case of any problems.

Even for rebuilding a scene, files are such a help, since you can move your actor to the perfect position you see on screen.

Honestly, I wonder how i could have worked on tapes for years... :)

For my esthethic taste shoulder mount is a must, and this light camera acts so well on a shoulder mount. with some fantasy, you can really have no limit of what you can shoot.

I suggest everyone to have at least 1 stabilized lens, so in case of needs you can create a sort of steady shooting in outside, with really good result
