CANON 7D WORKSHOP

First time using the 7D and have to say there are some things I like and others not so much. I have a DSLR myself the Canon 600D (less expensive, not quite as advanced) which I am very used to, having had it for a couple of years. The big difference between the 2 is that my 600D has a flip out screen allowing me to view whats going on even from awkward angles such as the low angle which I used yesterday.

The big advantage with the 7D is the quality which is much more up to the industry standard.

So I am still deciding which one of the cameras I should use whether its the Sony EX 1 or the 7D for my Directions unit.

As part of the workshop we were told to give the cameras a bit of a go and try and put something together with a piece of music of our choosing.

I have to mention the mistake I made as DoP, which was that I forgot to check what frame rate the camera was set to. Someone had unfortunately left it a 50fps which is very clearly noticeable in the clip. It is something I will learn for the future as it not only looks bad in this situation, but also makes it much slower to edit.


Here is the short clip edited together by me:
