Bitrate cbr 2.0, 1 continuous shot, audio was on camera for reference as well as live, for final take.
I used the nifty fifty at f1.8 and got great results, combined with the fakehalfIR picture style, by EYER.

The nifty 50 looks good but I kept saying to myself "Focus" due to a lot of content was really out of focus. Maybe that was your intent. If it was not then look into focus peaking, one of the best features ML has to offer. I think that the shallow depth of field did help with the ethereal 'Fripp-style' music and the slow camera motion was effective.
What was used to record audio that was heard in the final video?
All of the focusing was almost completely scripted. We used Logic to do the recording with. I really like the focus peaking, i was actually, in some areas, using a pre-set rack focus, with recorded distances.
I was originally planning to use a rig, but a malfunction, left me to shoot it handheld. I didn't stabilize in post, in fact, the only post at all, was the title and credits, zero post on the video.
I like the idea of using the rack focus during a handheld shot. You did a great job on cam stability with no rig. Keep up the creative work.
thank u very much, kihlbahkt, more coming soon!
"All of the focusing was almost completely scripted."
If this is the final video, then you have failed (sorry). It's just unbearable to view the video.
Thank you for your input, albert-e, it's nice to hear someone use such kind words, so willingly.. Excellent critique, I might add, thanks bud.
It was a very spontaneous idea to shoot anything at all that day. It was for fun.
Try to use constructive criticism, bashing is not really that good ....
While albert-e came across rather harsh, I think the take away from his comment is that as a viewer of this video he was very distracted by the focus issues. As a producer of content you should always try to avoid pulling the viewer away from the presentation. There is a threshold point at which the viewer begins thinking about some technical issue (focus, framing, audio problems, etc) instead of keeping their attention on the content being presented. Once that occurs the viewer may lose interest very quickly.
@kihibahkt...you put the right words. Excellent review. Yes, it was a little bit harsh but the truth.
My philosophy on giving criticism is to never discourage anyone. Artistic and personal expression should always be encouraged. Art that I think sucks may be a great inspiration to someone else. I love to watch forum member videos and I would never want to have shruggyrasklat discouraged from uploading his next video due to rude remarks from this forum. +1 for nanomad's comment.

I haven't been to this thread in a short while.. I do appreciate the criticism, it allows for my growth. This video was shot on a dime, because I was anxious to use the magic lantern with my brand new mkii.
