Still waiting on smug to get the network issues worked out so I can store here, but in the meantime here it is on YouTube. My first weekend with the 5D2 (back in Feb., was waiting on an audio track forEVER).

I had the 50mm wide open, so the focus is thin - and I know the color and WB are off, but this was right out of the box just to play around the first day. I think it still tells a cute story of breakfast at the grandparents though :)

I just love watching the videos on this thread; getting lots of ideas.

Here is the latest one I did of my son and grandson skiing at Whistler over Spring Break. The "stop action-like" stuff was taken with my Canon 50D on a tripod:

More coming soon.

Alrighty, I'll play.

Yikes! remind me not to have a BBQ in your backyard..
Very cool stuff.

Here's one from spending a month camping in the forest. Really fun project to create. :)

Hello, folks, Tony here,

I'm new to the joys of Smugmug Video, and have just posted a new musical slideshow video on my page.

I have been looking over this thread and am blown away by beautiful, polished, and professional these videos are! My little offering seems crude by comparison. Nevertheless, I'm Jumping in...

My 'Autumn's Child' musical slideshow video: (hope you like it)

Really cool. I especially loved the shots of the deck where you have the motion of the mountains slipping by as well as the slight pan of the camera.

Wonderfully Shot. I've been working in television for 16 years and know a lot about editing. I think straight cuts and dissolves are the classiest. Your fade up from black at the top and about halfway through could be a lot slower to help enhance the mood. I get what you were trying to accomplish but I'm not too into the flash frames of white and black throughout. The way you sped up and slowed down the video was well executed and added to the surrealism that the black and white had already created. Well done!!

What software did you use?

Let me also add that when the drum beats start toward the end, having your cuts on the downbeat would have been better.

Whoah, blast from the past! Thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it especially as I am (still, more than a year later) am fumbling with the idea of video editing.

I do believe I used iMovie 09 for that video. Since then I've made several smaller movies using FCE but I'm still really unsatisfied with anything I put out.

I have another project currently on my plate and so your suggestions come at a great time. Thx again!

No problem, if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

First video, let me know what you think.

Also, is there a way to sell these on Smugmug??

Nice! You can embed your videos in this forum, too.

As for your sales question, that's something you should ask in the SmugMug Pro Sales Support forum.

Here's my latest Hindu Wedding Video which I filmed recently. I'm very proud of this one so would be great to know what you think.

The clip for the Wedding Film can be viewed on my blog here: Sunita & Ravinder's Indian Wedding Video

Or the Youtube link is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKao-mbq9CY

Thanks

My first time to try making a movie using iMovie that contains clips and photos taken with a camera.

Share>Get a Link>Embeddable Links, then click here:




Just paste that code as is into your post.

Nice start on the video! My crits are: no need for watermarks in a video, the title with the bird's name comes up many times, it's only needed once, and why is the video cropped as it is?

Let's see more!

Thanks for teaching me how to post videos and for the comments too. Those are just clips that I took and so I put them in a movie together with the photos. I have been a victim of people stealing photos from the web so many times that's why I make sure to put watermarks in all my pictures that are posted online. It is obvious that it is my first movie ever. The reason for the watermarks is that I always thought the people can get the images from the video if they are able to download it. Thanks again.

Pretty cool videos here. My favourite was perhaps the Alaska cruise. Damn that place looks sunny and calm.

I really should film something like this now that the weather here is getting tolerable. I've just been so lazy lately

thought I'd add one here. Been doing slideshows for a while just never ventured into this video forum before.

enjoy:
