Creating a better film look, Andyax Productions

Creating a better film look using a custom picture profile.

Andyax Productions shows us how..

One way to do it:
Cinestyle Profile, made by technicolor
You can download it for free.

Canon EOS: Cinestyle Profile (2.57MB)
http://www.technicolor.com/en/solutions-services/cinestyle

I have not tried it myself...

I guess you do this before you start shooting your video?

"HOW DO I LOAD CINESTYLE PROFILE TO MY CANON CAMERA?

Please see the steps below:

Ensure that EOS Utility v2.6 or later is installed on your computer
Download the Technicolor CineStyle™ Profile by clicking here
Connect your camera to your computer using the appropriate USB cable
Note: for the EOS 5D Mark II you may need to set "Communication" to "PC connect" in the camera's menu
Start the Canon EOS Utility
Select "Camera settings/Remote shooting" on the main window
Once the capture window opens, click the camera icon
Click "Register User Defined style" under "Shooting menu"
Once the new page "Register Picture Style File" opens, select one of User Def. 1, 2 or 3 at the top of the new page
Click the open file icon
Select the CineStyle.pf2 file you've just downloaded
Click on OK" - source: http://www.technicolor.com/en/solutions-services/cinestyle-download/cinestyle-faq#how-do-i-load-cinestyle-profile-to-my-canon-camera

Heres a good video on the bag.



It can take a 15 inch computer, for example Macbook Pro

Internal total lenght 30 cm
Internal total width 16 cm

BearKire (whomade this video comments:)
"Update: I recently upgraded from Phantom 3 Pro to Phantom 4. The Phantom 4 fits almost better than the P3, but the batteries does not fit the custom batteri holders."

Great Canon 50 mm STM lenses, and other cheap lenses (good ones)

This lenses work great on a camera like the Canon 70d or T6s/T6i (760D/750D).

They have stepper motor which is recommended for filming, quiet and smoothly.



Canon EF 50/1,8 STM (work on every canon camera, not just cropped)
Here´s Chris is testing it on a T6I
On for example a 70D (croped) its a bit zoomed in for doing Selfies and so on.




Canon 24mm EF-S "Pancake" 2.8 STM (increddible silent)(work only on croped sensor)
Focusing cinematic




A bit more expensive is this Youtube lens

Canon EF-S 10-18 mm F/4.5-5.6 IS STM  (wide angle lens)  (need lighting indoors)

Gyro doesnt like cold though..
This seems to be the future. Instead of using a big Steadicam this is so much lighter and seems to even be as good. Doesnt seems quite ready though. Give it some year.

Yelangu s60t, best cheapest Steadicam?


Looks really promising. I´ve been watching some merlin steadicams before, but they are pricy..

This one is cheaper than if you build it your self. I did buy some of the stuff to do a DIY but, the parts would be more expensive than this.



Here Andyax show us, thanks Andy.



It´s a bit more expensive on ebay, but here is a link where it cost 61 dollars..

http://www.sunsky-online.com/product/default!view.do?subject.id=412363

It claims to be able to handle weight up to 2500 grams

And a Canon 70D weighs 43.5 oz (1,233 g)
(includes batteries, kit lens)
Should be fine, even with an external mic.


Its also availalable at dealextreme

1045 SEK incl shipping, but taxes are added.. (about 25 %)
Search for Steadicam or Handheld Stabilize

If you wanna go more proffesional there is a more expensive one:
YELANGU S700 Professional Handheld Stabilizer - Black + Red
