Just a bit of shameless promotion...

This is a video directed by two of my buddies Chris and Tim. we shot it in hackney marshes just on the turn of Autumn. personally i think it's a stoater. all shot on a cannon D7. amazing editing, wonderfull grading. Please have a look at it and if you like it, pass it on.

for full disclosure i'm the chap with the cigar and shades.

man that was well good..

Hehe, I enjoyed watching that

Heh heh.... nice editing, gorra love HD :)

Kind of reminds me of Aphex twin, music wise, which aint a bad thing of course

Loved it. Great music, beautiful people, beautifully shot.

aye, the tunes very warp records. think it's finally getting me into dubstep...

I really liked the feel of this...

Really good.

So what, it's Mark & Spencer's new Autumn season advert or something, yeah?

I don't even like Dubstep, but that is AWESOME.

i like that. top work.
for the slow mo was that shot at 30p and what did you use to get it slow without looking jittery?

i'm not sure to be honest, i'm not too clued up on camera tech. i think it was all shot at 50fps then messed about with in the edit (not sure if that answers your question). to be honest i was all in front of the camera with this one.

7D shoots 60p@ 720p.

By the way MrsSmyth did you know Canon have just announced (yesterday) a 24p + 25p firmware upgrade for the 5D !!! (but not available for 3 or 4 months).

In other Canon vDSLR news, the new D1 MkIV looks shocking in low light, literally off the scale of absolutely anything that has come before it !

Back to the subject of non-jittery slo-mo . . . there are numerous bits of software that employ vectors (pixel motion) to produce smooth slo-mo from standard sources - by way of example, here we have London's famous Wiganwill at half-speed originally shot at 30p (5D) - as you can see even slowing him down to 50% speed does not induce jittery motion.

Some really nice stuff in there.

how the blimey does this all work then? How can a DSLR be used to shoot video?

Really liked that, loved the Predator nod at the end.

2:30 is brilliant. Great work.

because they can. that's how they're being made now. ultimately still photography will wither as screen grabs match the quality. no more decisive moment. more and more photojournalists are expected to shoot video as well as stills already; hence the 5D and others which can do both.

love the style and concept of the video, the tunes awesome too, is this the official video for the track then? gorgeous colour grading too. nice work

Agree with everyone else. Top work. I didn't watch the credits though. Where's the directors website?

Great stuff!

Fun stuff. Are you guys a film-making team or a bunch of friends with crazy video skills? :) One girl and Chang himself were very distinctive, I'd maybe recognise either of you two on the street if I saw you after that video.

i love 2:23. hello sir.

well... i was just infront of the camera for this one. i've co-directed with Tim before on this piece Big Face style crusader on Vimeo
but it was a few years ago. but aye, just a few mates that enjoy the medium.

The Spheres of Fury video was fucken brilliant. I'll be sure to pass this around to other camera/editing geeks and generally anyone who likes awesome stuffs.

I've blogged the first clip in the OP but now I want to blog the 2nd one already haha. Both amazing
