Waiting for the 7D, I decided to shoot with a T1i instead of HVX+LEX

Nice work! The only thing that kept me from buying one was the limited manual controls while in video mode. You did a great job with it JC!

Was getting your singers to sing at a different speed a challange?
 
:) modify button is like life... it gives you second chances..

anyway, I'm like JC here, while waiting for the 7D to arrive in my country next week I'm also getting used to the form factor using the nikon D5000.

I have a question, since I'll be modifying my rails to fit the DSLRs, I want to know if the distance from bottom to center of lens of the eos line is the same.

Say I have an old 300D, can i use it as a stand in for the 7D to configure basplate height for the 7D?

sorry this is off topic. But we're nikon users in the studio so not so familiar with canon.
 
for 799 thats spectacular...

Good looking too... Nice footage.

Im buying one for my Mom...

Very nice work. Have you tried other lenses?

Just the kit lens, 18-55 IS zoom. It's ok, but I stayed with the 50 to keep it sharp and shallow. Just trying to keep it slick looking.
EDIT: I shot wides with the HVX, I was too afraid of aliasing from the T1i to shoot wide. But looking at some of the wider T1i shots, I think it would have been ok. I have a music video next month with a lot of dancing so I have to shoot wide shots. If I don't have a 7D by then I think I'll use the T1i with the 18-55.

Yeah they freaked the first time they heard it. I emailed him a copy of the modified song so he could get used to it and asked him to send it to her.... of course that didn't happen, I guess it was too much like homework.
25% faster doesn't look that overcranked but musically it's much faster. The singer's parts were easier, her cadance is slower and smoother. The rapping on the other hand is pretty quick and it's gonna be a ***** to sync up cause it was just so sloppy at that speed, fortunately it has an extensive narrative section to cover up performances.

Yes, Modify, the late night posters friend! : )

Thanks for the info JC, I thought that might have been tough for the talent. They pulled it off really well from what you've posted so far. Good luck with the rap syncing.
