Production 7D movie 'Another night in Beijing'

To reiterate what Luis and Jason already said (twice) in this thread.... if you want to discuss the merits of how the 7D performed in the OP's test, that's wonderful, do it, go for it. If you want to criticize the OP's test for what it inherently ISN'T, then please, contribute a test of your own under the conditions you'd prefer. Or, if you are sans camera or haven't got the chops, maybe "ASK" a 7D owner to consider doing one, rather than berating them for not. I'd hate to see them discouraged from ever contributing a video of this sort again.

Get it together. No disrespect. :)
 
I think people should express their opinions. What they like or dislike but they can be nice about it.
I'm really glad there are all these people out there who get these new cameras and test them before i buy! We should all be pretty thankful for what can be done with forums like this.
 
Of course people should express their opinions. There was a time I even posted a thread about people sugar coating how they really felt about a bad piece. It still happens, but now these same people become overly critical about other people's work that isn't considered a "test".

Just because it doesn't have flowers and cats/dogs, doesn't mean that it was supposed to be a blockbuster film. If you have an opinion about something, like Zim said...be dipolmatic about it. Diplomatic = constructive criticism

They may have started, but we want it to stop.

What did your all's mommas teach you? "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"?

Seriously, if someone asks "let me have it", then let them have it. Otherwise, if what you have to say is "bashing", just don't. If it's constructive criticism, intended to help the o.p. improve their craft, then that's fine.
 
Refreshing to hear these anti negative comments, i have felt an increase in this bashing on the boards over the last few months. Miss the old days, was a much more giving place before. Let's bring those days back! Positivity and support!
 
Nice footage Dan, makes me miss Beijing. It's got such a distinctive gray color palette that I haven't seen in any other city.

And to throw my 1.5 cents in here, over the past six months I've seen threads immediately go to the dead horse does this look like film discussion. It's made coming here less fun for us as well. I lack the patience of some of the better moderators here, so let me apologize now for the bannings that will come out. I've been on this site since the beginning and it's one of the best film sites because a lot of people are actually making stuff. If you get a temporary (or permanent) ban from one of us, think of it like a reminder that you should be making more stuff instead of burning up time posting nonsense here. Tough love is on the way until things settle back into a groove.

AMEN!

In the summer of 2005 when I joined, my mother had just been diagnosed with cancer and I shut down my recording studio and moved back home to take care of her. I was working on a business plan for a multimedia company and didn't know anything about filmmaking. So I hit the net and started studying. This was the site I found and this is the site that literaly tought me about filmmaking. After my mother passed away I quit being a music producer/ sound engineer and decided I REALLY wanted to make films. DVXUser is one of the biggest parts of how and why I have became a filmmaker.
I would really like to see this site remain a source and catalyst for creativity and inspiration. We are at a turning point in the industry, this new technology is bringing many peering eyes in the DVXUser direction. So many more creative souls looking for guidence and inspiration that can truely be helped by our community. This site has always maintained the highest standards when it comes to being a source for filmmaking. I wish it continued success and know that the moderators and core membership will do it's best to maintain the integrity of this site.

And to you Johnny Cola I say in the spring/summer of 2009 I went through a very similar thing with my mother and when I was brought to my knees because of the situation your posts always made laugh and think when I needed it and I truly hope you get what you need.
 
Ha ha. Yes, an instigating incident at the end of the 1st Act, some bizarre twists in the second act, but a happy resolution in the third (I hope).
