Photographer Jason Magbanua was lucky enough to get a pre-production Canon 7D unit. And since he was only given less than two days to try it out, he decided to create a mini-documentary. Perya features what’s apparently a staple of his home culture, and shows off the 7D’s 24p 1920 x 1080 video capture capability, and good performance under low-light conditions.
The video benefited from Magbanua’s wide arsenal of lenses. According to him, it features no color grading or even lighting whatsoever. Here’s the video description, edited for clarity:
We wanted to document something truly Filipino and came up with the idea of shooting a “Perya”. There really is no direct equivalent in English. It’s not as grand as a carnival, not as permanent and posh as an amusement park, there are no pumpkins nor cows in competition like a country fair. It is what it is—a Perya.
Shot in 1920 x 1080 at 24p. Transcoded to XDcam codec. Edited in Premiere Pro CS3.
No color grading was utilized. No additional lights used.
Lenses:
- 16-35 mm 2.8
- 17 mm TS
- 35mm 1.4
- 50 mm 1.4
- 85mm 1.4
- 100 mm 2.8 macro
- 70-200 mm 2.8
I’m no professional photographer, but all I know is that the 7D’s video quality definitely outdoes the Canon 5D’s. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, watch the above video in full-screen mode, fool.
This camera is so amazingly clear it’s sick. I have a Canon vixia Hv30 and it has amazing clarity! Canon definitely never ceases to amaze me with their products. Great job! I want one of these for sure.
nice, its a good video.
