But the low light capability of the mk3 definitely helps!
Not needing to setup lights are great and allows the actors to perform more naturally. Not to mention the time saved in setting up shots!

I think your comments are quite ignorant, rude and spiteful. Please grind your ax somewhere else.

Dave, as I mentioned in the post, there was no budget for lighting. Furthermore, on shoots like this where the cast and crew is volunteer and you’re working with literally a 2-person crew and cast members who have only 2 hours with you, there’s just no time to get creative with artificial lighting. We barely had time to get the shots we did shooting with just ambient light. This was the primary reason I chose the 5D3.

Lastly, and perhaps most important, the reason these images look drab and lifeless is because it’s ungraded footage shot with a FLAT picture profile. It’s SUPPOSED to look like that. The reason I wanted to post the raw footage was to show what it looked like right out of the camera with only ambient light at high ISOs. I assure you, the “life” will be added back to the footage during the post production color grade.

It was anything BUT laziness required to make this short with the limited resources and time we had.

I invite you to return and comment on the final film before casually disregarding the time and energy that went into making it.

I can understand why we as wedding film-makers would sometimes have to rely on available ambient light, but doing the same for a narrative film shoot seems just plain lazy!!

This would have probably looked 100 times more attractive if it was filmed with a little 3 chip camcorder and some carefully placed artificial lighting. Sad to see so many DSLR “film-makers” disregarding the impact good lighting can make to a narrative film 🙁

Thanks for the comment dave. It’s actually a Steady Tracker, not a glidecam. 🙂

Glad to see others working on some of these heavy topics. I’m not sure I could handle it.

Always fun to see how others use the glidecam.
