Beauty In Ordinary Things | Nikon D3300 Cinematic Video/Film Test | Toronto, Canada

Filmed within 2 days to see how it looks on KZbin. Please watch in 1080p!!!
Filmed in Toronto, Canada.This is my first video with this camera/DSLR so please be gentle, i'm still trying to figure out all the settings and configurations for different situations and shots. I decided to film in 24fps to create a more cinematic look.
I wanted to create a contrast with slow paced and fast paced aspects within a city, and this music completely complimented that idea. Again thanks for watching, Cheers!!

[@Jackhoppy]

Wow, a city and a sea side. Times like this make me wish I don't live in the suburbs where everything looks the same and there is nothing natural to film. Good on you though, this was good.

[@FLICKROBOT]

Hermin Hop ahah yea Toronto is great for filming, lots of things to see. Thank You!!

[@FLICKROBOT]

***** 10$ shirts FTW!!

[@matheusrpires1]

came here to see how the video quality of the d3300 looks like and ended up crying 😢 what a beautiful movie!

[@danb7601]

This is lovely, nothing is more beautiful than the "mundane", thinking about the lives of the people walking past, how strange it is we are all on this planet, the beauty of neon lights at night, the history of the light, how we built it, all of these things and more come to my mind why i and myself and am alone with the night

[@MilenaSimsic]

I was looking for a review of the D3300, and instead I got an awesome relaxation video. Well done :)

[@srk9099]

[@bonnierose748]

I just got this camera and am learning to use it, it's so encouraging to see some film work done with a camera that I've only seen used for photography! Thank you for the inspiration :)

[@rigatoni_pasta]

Mate, this was really good. Nice shots and the nature was especially great.

[@justinw.7407]

Just got the camera today, and I really wanted to see some videos that properly utilized the functions of the D3300. You've done a really great job, and have actually inspired me to shoot something similar, but from Brampton. Nice work!

[@FLICKROBOT]

+Justin W. Thank you for the kind words! Can't wait to see your video

[@bigthis8260]

The two people who disliked this video must have an issue with Toronto because the clip is fantastic and put to together really well.

[@FLICKROBOT]

thank you so much! i appreciate it!!

[@bigthis8260]

***** You are welcome. What is the song called in the clip?

[@FLICKROBOT]

PETE TRISH it is Arctic by Sleeping at Last :)

[@bigthis8260]

***** Thanks mate.

[@axedel2258]

nice work brother...

[@rachmatgaluhseptyadhi]

Great Video! What type of lens did you use?

[@lucasschmidt2385]

exelente video,cool

[@dl7608]

That was awesome. Sold me

[@rodericogarcia]

Awesome! I´ve got this very model, and this video proves "it´s not all about having a decent camera". You´ve got to have the skills and the sensitivity (which, I guess, I don´t have yet). Congratulations. Looking forward to getting some decent footage myself.

[@FLICKROBOT]

Rodrigo Garcia Thank you! appreciate it!

[@ExposedRoot]

Great job. Glad to see you used the kit lens.

[@FLICKROBOT]

ExposedRoot lool thank you!

[@AppleSlicesUnite]

Thank You! I'm learning a lot!

[@fanofdeadpool7315]

Did you used the kit lens,To film this video?

[@iskkarate]

awesome video!

[@FLICKROBOT]

Irv Gotti thank you!

[@Pro4Sound]

very good.

[@FLICKROBOT]

Thank you!!

[@DevonHyland]

looks great!

[@FLICKROBOT]

Devon Hyland thank you!

[@bartonfunk1237]

Nice job!

[@AlexraptorAquatic]

Very nice! I've been shooting videos with a entry level Sony Handycam the last couple of years. I've just ordered a D3300 for my photography, and from the looks of this video I might just retire my camcorder for good. :)

[@amsaric]

Came here for the camera... but I actually really like your concept and how you delivered. It's really beautifully composed. You've got an eye (and ear) for this stuff. :) And now I miss Canada hahaha! Sooo..... How do you like the camera? Do you think it would be good for a beginner like me? I'd use it to do vlogs and film live acoustic sessions (I was hoping to get good quality visual to match my high quality audio gear).

[@FLICKROBOT]

+amsaric Thank you for the kind words. As for the camera, it is perfect for beginners, it has description of the functions of every setting. In terms of acoustic covers, i think it will be perfect for it.

[@Aimz-OG]

Just bought this camera tonight with the extra 55-200mm lens 599$ is a great deal never seen video of it in action before this and it is amazing doubt my editing will be nearly as good at least for a while ... Great video :)

[@deuceklub]

+vAimz3138 Good Evening. I'm in the process of purchasing one myself, how has the process been for you over the last few weeks? Any great videos you've been able to capture/share, or any feedback you can provide? Thanks!

[@Aimz-OG]

+deuceklub yes great photos and just starting on videos but there great quality I would recommend this to beginners and pros who want a lightweight travel camera that has every feature necessary for whatever you are doing however your going to want a good flash and softbox as the built in flash isn't very good but none of the built in ones are good anyways the flash should run you about 40-50 for a decent one and the softbox is another 10 or so If you would like to see some of the pictures I've taken with it feel free to check out my Instagram my username is @boutthatlifemike have a goodnight hope to see you on Instagram ✌🏼️

[@miaghisann]

nice... well done, i've a d3300 to and i hope to make "film test" as yours

[@musahoosain8093]

Superb and captivating film!! I love it! I also have the Nikon D3300 and didn't think it was good for video. You have changed my mind!! Oh, how did you do that "focus-panning-thing" at around 0:13 !?!? That was too nice!! Someone please be generous and tell me! Thank You!

[@acaftermath]

hey nice video, i'm from toronto as well and planning to pick up a used d3300. How do you zoom in an object but without the background being blurred? Do you just turn the F up to 20 21 in aperture mode in Manual? thanks.

[@nihalmohammed5246]

you are incredible...

[@holly2011]

This video gave me chills. Absolutely stunning. I'm really into making short horror films, do you think this would be a good starter DSLR for me? Thank you.

[@CheezhOfficial]

beatiful, i want the d3300 so bad..

[@mohammadaamirshaikh9272]

I understand and appreciate your work 👍 , i also want to shoot this kind of video in my town.

[@jamesrankine506]

I love this video. Great work. It's pretty inspiring as it is inspiring me to get a Nikon D3300. Question. Did you use the lens that came with the camera or did you buy another lens. I want to know because I really like your shallow depth of field in some shots.

[@CzarnyByd]

What lens you used? ;)

[@dimondskate]

+Czarny Yeah! Can't be the kit lens?!??

[@teawithtams6596]

Beautiful video of Toronto. Do you have continuous or manual focus when you shoot a video on the D3300?

[@noesumale3230]

Nice video.

[@deehwang]

very well edited! i love it. Do you mind if i use this video for my poem video? :) thank you so much!

[@foxpawz]

love it. this made up my mind. i will be purchasing this camera. never used any dslr cameras, i hope it is not too complicated to learn for a novice. what did you use for editing and did you have to convert it to a specific type of file to upload it to youtube ?

[@eddievinum]

Beautiful film, the music is perfect!! Did you use the kit lens.? Great stuff

[@sanjeevluintel1812]

very creative.

[@FLICKROBOT]

Sanjeev Luintel thanks!

[@carringtonrowe7080]

Hey everyone! I found the song, it's called "Arctic" by Sleeping At Last :)

[@naturalmindy]

Amazing video! Loved it, did you use manual focus on the lens? Btw, was this recorded by kit lens?

[@hanzcastle]

Your cinematography is great! What lens did you use, by the way?

[@Thatoneguyviner]

U need to be filming and making money cause i love this great job!

[@klf33]

Great Video, I wonder what type of lens used ? and what was the setup for the night shots ?

[@CasperRakesh]

hey +FLICKROBOT :) i've decided to buy this camera and the only thing that made me do that was you're video awesome work i know people generally does'nt like to say this in public but i would really appreciate and be greatful to u if you could answer these questions Did u shoot this video with the In-box kit or did u use any special lens post processing effects or just the natural settings from DSLR made this look this awesome if its the DSLR settings then, please oh please can u tell me the settings you've used thanks :)

[@nightbeastev7556]

Was looking for a test of the camera and came across this. I am so glad I clicked on this vid! Oh, and what's the music called? Its really good

[@nightbeastev7556]

Austin Ꞁ Lincoln Δ Thanks

[@yourcousin88]

Heyyy :) awesome video! I read your description of the video but I couldn't help to notice you didn't mention what lens you used for the video if you don't mind me asking.

[@FLICKROBOT]

+sergio clavel i used the kit lens, 18-55 :-)

[@adityaharindar]

Quick tip: Since most of your shots were filmed by hand, you should've shot the the video at 1080p 60fps, and slowed down to 24fps for a more stabilised look.(Warp Stabilizer in Premier Pro also works great)

[@QualityVideoService]

I'm shooting a film in December with the Nikon D3300 and AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens. Day and night interiors, day and night exteriors. I'm worried about keeping the camera focused and framing. If my film looks as great as your video/film test, I'll be ecstatic. Any suggestion? Thanks

[@katherinehodgkin333]

looking for my first camera i am 16 so i think its time and this was so beautiful i think I'm going to buy one thank you xx

[@Deeproducermusic]

Beautiful Video! I just bought a Nikon D3300 with a Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens with Auto Focus. I am testing shooting with video. I can't seem to keep anything in focus when moving the camera. I need continuous focus when tracking moving subjects. How can I achieve this? Any tips would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

[@justinconley2230]

Great video! How did you do the "fade-in" effect? Was it a camera setting or a setting with the video editing software?

[@user-nn3uq8oc8v]

No, he is doing manual focus on the focus ring on the lens and he is taking the image into focus

[@frederickjohnson9523]

Great video! What settings did you use for this?

[@drchipohpoh]

I'm a beginner looking to upgrade my camera for film, I love the way this video looks and has me almost sold on this model. Were you using anything special on the camera (something that does not come with it in-box)? and did you do any editing effects, or is it straight footage?

[@drchipohpoh]

Thanks! I have officially made up my mind :) My stupid videos are about to get alot prettier,

[@ThatManIam]

Was this shot with the 18-55mm kit lens? Thanks, nice video.

[@johnTaylor9760]

I have this precise same camera and my video NEVER looks this good, I have no idea what lens or setting you used but this looks great by comparison to what I have. Can you tell me what modes and basicly.... Like how did you do this camera wise? Was there a a lot of post that you did on this. I guess the most pressing thing for me is that my video NEVER looks this clear like in the subway and there was the reflection on the ceiling of the tube I was like "What the hell, how is he doing that?!?!"

[@skinnybuddhaboy]

John Taylor - After seeing many different video footage I was sold on this camera, but now your comment is worrying me, lol! How is your video quality when outdoors or indoors with ok to good light? I mean, do you only not have as good a video quality when in low light and on the tube, or do you get these video quality problems anywhere you record?

[@thejapaneseguy2672]

SKINNY BUDDHA BOY The camera body itself is good, however it all depends on the lens that you will use. Also, on how you mix and play with aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

[@jeuchun7464]

This has happened to me too a lot after I bout certain cameras and lenses that I saw being advertised on KZbin. I can't figure it out either. I even matched the lenses they were using and my footage didn't turn out like theirs. Very disconcerting

[@kenminc]

Color grading - look it up

[@DeanRavenMusic]

Hey dude what Shutter speed did you use for this?

[@alfredconqueror4422]

Amazing video! I need some help I dont know which camera is better the D3300 or the D5200? They have almost the same specs but Im very confused

[@FLICKROBOT]

snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-D3300-vs-Nikon-D5200 This should help, but yea they are really similar. Just base your decision on your preferences and what you are going to use it for. Thanks for watching!!

[@LizaLavolta]

Beautiful work. What lens did you use?

[@DavidNcinnamontaco]

Great vid, i have the same camera if u dont mind what export setting do you use.

[@Mark_bretner]

Hello! did you use some steadycam or something? the shots are really clear! good job!
