Push-in = the most powerful camera move you can have in a scene. Very subtle but it brings you in to a intimate connection with the character.
Roger Deakins uses the push in the best imo. Amazing cinematographer and yet he hasnt won an award for cinematography. Wtf is up with that?

Thoughts on the Nov 3rd Canon announcement? It's do or die for RED with their Scarlet sale launch, too. RED putting the Scarlet on the market and stillmotion selling their F3 -- sounds like the insiders have a little knowledge that something big is to come. But then again, it could just be the "Imagin8ion" release and nothing really special to follow. |

it's definitely a new ef-mount camera from Canon. I play on buying at least one. Plus swapping my D3 for the 1DX.

i love the push-in and use it a lot, especially with wide angles and large apertures close-up.

Tech questions about the vid: What preset did you shoot in? Was it standard with sharpness turned down and a WB shift? Did you grade it? I usually shoot Cinestyle but would sometimes just like to skip the grading process all together out of laziness... |

man, I feel so bad. they got way off schedule by the time we were heading downtown, you were having to leave. and it was so tight in the designer's studio space near Chinatown, I had to sit in the hall most of the time.
I used cinestyle plus sharpness and then graded in color. they're going back soon, and they dropped jaw for the video so hopefully they'll bring me back.

Learning about filmmaking/photography is the first step. Getting the camera to apply your practice is the second step.

IMO, put the book down, pick up a camera, and shoot something. |

What are some good online resources for the beginning videographer, that has the cameras, but only stills experience?
I have ab5D MkII, a 7D and some really decent lenses, but I've only done a few minutes of video. I spend so much time on my stills that I know that I'll have to carve out video time to get any good at it. Dave

in all seriousness, I don't know of any resources off the top of my head so I'd just utilize google and let us know what you come up with.

There is no single "right way" of learning. Something that works for someone may not work for someone else. Personally, I like to learn by fiddling around with stuff and learning by making mistakes and then practicing.
