Had a chuckle while reading that especially after writing this: "although I'm a bit lazy and could probably compose better"

Give me some composition tips if you want. I'm not precious.

+thanks N/A, Danne & Audionut

I am really glad you have a good sense of humor and distance to your photos. Nothing that I wrote is against you personally and expresses a general thought about photography, using your photos only as an example. If pictures are bad, it does not matter if they are at the top of one's abilities, involve advanced techniques, technologies, are a result of an experiment or laziness - they are equally bad at the end of the day and as such a perfect example that proves my point, which was all I did. Anyone can love your photos if they want, I hope that saying they are terrible is also ok, it is a great thing that we can disagree.

It is really a good example of why all the megapixels, dr, latitude, dual iso and such don't matter much. Despite all that, those are still horribly composed, randomly framed terrible shots. It seems that it does not even matter if the camera is leveled in those mega-multi-milion-pixels "architecture" shots. No ML feature or other hack will ever help fundamentally bad pictures.

Thank you for posting the comparison, very helpful!

The raw module with the 5DM3 camera provides really defined images that don't need much sharpening.

Thanks. Would it be possible to see a side by side comparison with and without sharpening? A still grab in the original resolution should be enough. I am interested in the opening shot and maybe one of the close ups. Thanks.

Fauxto, it is nicely done. Probably feels more like a scene from a longer movie than a standalone short but who cares.  I like its rhythm, choice of camera angles and focal lengths. Pretty good acting too. I am also glad you took your time to focus on an everyday situation and its dynamics. I think the handheld work could have been little bit more clean but that is pretty obvious.

I have a question regarding your workflow, specifically I am curious what your sharpening settings were. My understanding is that since this was shot RAW you could adjust it while processing the RAW footage. I am asking because it feels slightly too sharp in some shots to my taste, I am not talking about sharpness coming just from the optics but about what feels like a digital sharpening (especially in wide shots, like in the opening shot).

Anyway, thanks for sharing your film.

Apologize if my comment seemed rude or offensive. May be the word 'mediocre' did that? If that's the matter, then i'm sorry — my english still sucks.
What i meant is... i totally didn't get the point of password, especially on the temporary footage. And what's so special about it? We've seen a ton of 5d3 tests here already.
Anyway, better back to work )

You'll understand one day when you have kids.

The video shows subtleties in skintones and hair colors beautifully. Definitelly an advantage over H.264

Thanks for sharing.
