Thank you for all your replies!

I posted this maybe with a bit too much short notice so I've already been and shot it.

Here is what I did:

Shot h.264, I couldn't risk using RAW on this shoot however thanks to @bpv5p I used the 10bit module last night in London and it worked a dream!
I shot in 60fps 720p to give me the ability to do speed ramping.
Remembered to use a white surface to white balance the scene.
Remembered to set the camera to PAL also so not to get light flickering.
I Shot with a manual lens wide open at f1.7, although the above video is very dark I wanted to have more light to play with in post.

Thank you for all your comments, will be handy to know going into the next one.

Now time to edit! Will let you know how I get on!

Hi,

I have secured my first paid client in my quest to make photography and videography my full time gig.

The client is a mens hair product company and they are looking for a cinematic scene to be used in the launch of their new product in November.

The shoot is on Sunday and I was hoping to get some tips from from some of you with more experience out there.

The video will document the model getting their haircut and styled using the product. The client would like me to emulate this video https://www.instagram.com/p/BXN10-zn-e5/?taken-by=dukehyde

From what I can see they have shot it in a higher ffs and done some speed ramping. Also a shallow depth of field, not sure if it was for creative purposes or due to lack of light.

I guess what I would like to know is does anyone have any general tips, problems I am likely to face and or how you would shoot or improve on the above video.

Thanks
Rob

Bpv5P, thank you so much!

I am about to google the terms you first mentioned ha.

With the over exposure I have been used to shooting photography slightly underexposed do not to loose the highlights. So when I am shooting is that 2 tiny steps over exposed. I feel like shooting two whole stops over would leave me with a near white image in the sun ha.

Thanks! I will check that out, until now my workflow has been raw2dng > dng to Lightroom and then Lightroom to jpeg (I did try psd and tiff however file sizes were larger than the original which seemed dumb). JPEG to Premeire pro. All very time consuming! Ha

When you mention the transitions are you talking about the zooms? If so I want sure how to apply to just that aspect ratio, did I need to change my sequence setting to 2.35:1 but just export to 16:9?

I have heard of it however unsure again how to change to 10bit, I usually keep up with the nightly builds, is it a setting with mlv raw or another module I need to load?

Thank you I will check them out.

Thank you for being so generous with your time, appologies for all the repeat questions however it's just so interesting to me!

Hi Guys,

My first true venture into shooting raw. I have been using magic lantern for a while but never raw. I love slo mo so chose to shoot everything in 60fps.

Check out the video: https://youtu.be/uxsOHBmeQ4s

Would love some feedback!

My experiences:
Due to the small buffer on the 60d card trying to shoot 60fps at the highest resolution possible I was getting a max of 11 second clips.
I used Lightroom to grade the footage, this is a program I am comfortable with so having that flexibility was great!
Having crop marks when actually recording would of been handy.
