7d Slow Motion Test

I’ve taken a short sidestep from the music this week to explore another of my passions - Film!
Here’s some test shots I made using a Canon 7D camera…




For the film geeks:
This is a quick no-frills test of the Canon 7D 50 FPS video function to achieve slow motion.
The frame-rate was adjusted to 25 FPS in After Effects and then cut in Final Cut Express.
The biggest headache I had was a slow memory card which would stop capturing after a few seconds.

It’s shot and edited in 720p.
There’s no colour correction and I’m using the EFS 15-85mm lens that came with the camera and focusing manually. It’s not the greatest lens for achieving a film look but might suit a straight shooter, for me the image was always too sharp.

I also used a monopod to avoid shake and was quite satisfied with how that and the camera stabilization turned out.

Without an external monitor it was a struggle to shoot anything that wasn’t eye-level.
I welcome questions and tips. I’m waiting for a 5D MKII to arrive but want to see how the 7D might be useful as a B-cam.
