Location scout (Canon EOS 550D/t2i)

[@DinoAlberini]

The value of this video is immense. It shows the supremacy of man vs equipment. Most professional videographers could not do this with a truckload of ARRI gear. It shows the difference between a videographer and a filmmaker.

[@ShakstudiosAu]

Hey Anders, just wanted to say thank you for making this video back in 2010. You inspired me to buy this camera 10 years ago and were definitely a huge influence for me to get into filmmaking. All the best and I hope one day we get to meet! :)

[@MichelBarbaro]

This video convinced me to buy a T2i 10 years ago. The one I still use nowadays, in 2020!

[@canaldemais]

the 550d is a great camera. you have used the equipment really well. I keep coming back to this video for ideas and inspiration.

[@InsaneMetal]

Andy, this video has such an amazing atmosphere. The sound and filming style give it a great feel. I prefer this video to the action film, haha. Congrats on your work dude, you rock.

[@eldente]

Rip Eskild! I watch this video every year! You 2 are one of the reasons I got into this film making life!

[@8ball711]

Just can't tell you enough what a great short this is. It's a perfect example of talent meets technology to create a small masterpiece.

[@KateMadison]

This location is awesome and you have captured it so well!

[@MrKlayVFX]

I'm planning on a Canon 60D, I figure the flip out screen could really be advantageous and its not much more expensive. Really good stuff for natural lighting.

[@Andyax]

@silentcovenant It has been a couple of years since I last edited video on a PC, but I think the best editing software out there is Vegas... You can do all the same adjustments as I did in Color, in Vegas! Just by adjusting the contrast, brightness, saturation and colors :)

[@MrBiswas123]

good cinematography does not depend upon gear !!you proved it once again

[@candbproductions]

You guys really know how to show what a camera is capable of. Thank you.

[@Andyax]

Remember to watch the video when it's done processing! :) (when it's available to watch it in FULL HD)

[@MAGEtvPTB]

proper steadicam/steadycam use is truly an art...not one easily mastered either!! well done chaps!

[@LimitbreakerStudios]

I don't know why this looks so awesome. Maybe it's the color correction, maybe the smoke, maybe the dynamic cinematography, maybe the lighting, maybe the creepy eerie feeling, or mabye all of those put together. This is some stunning footage. It looks like it came from a michael bay movie (minus the crappy story, explosions and epic music).

[@SquareballTV]

i have watched this video over 15 times and i keep coming back. its just awesome

[@BestBoiBen]

Looks 110% professional. Keep this up. And I know in this clip you were setting us up for something good. If you make another, I want to see some action!

[@TaraArtsMovie]

You make video of people walking around to be so interesting! Very welldone!!

[@Andyax]

@wongsonny Thanks :) Record in FULL HD 25fps, import with the EOS patch in FCP (it was still not optimized for the 550D, but you can find an easy hack on the internett to make it work with 550D), edit in FCP, colorgrade in Color and export as H.264 1920x1080 8000kbit/sec with Compressor :)

[@spencerahughes]

this is great stuff man. very talented. thanks for posting and showing how the Canon T2I can be used.

[@dannyhoulihansIrishexperience]

Well done enjoyed this I thought I was at the cinema it was so good great work.

[@ImmersionPictures]

I love the colorgrading. You did some great shots. Really nice to have watched that.

[@AlexanderNVIDIA]

Oh.....my.....goodness..... just like a film made in Hollywood!! I LOVE THIS!!!!

[@niraj116]

u r really creative n talented. jus amazed of how beautiful u made it look. i won't b surprised when u make it big in near future. keep it up bro!

[@TheWaysAreGreen]

my god. I want the t2i soooooo bad now. very nice cinematography. that right there is where I want to take the next step up to.

[@AdamLoretz]

Wow. Great location. Captivating use of camera, DOF and music. Add a story and you guys could make something special.

[@aamirhch]

Welldone Mate ! I really love that specially the composition of the video and Location. Thats called XFACTOR !!!! WOW !!

[@genkitabemono]

You guys are making me envy you. Awesome movie. I've to get me this camera. Pronto!

[@Medic1911]

Nice video. It's nice to see someone use this camera's potential. Just shows how good the camera can be. Anywho, I was curious to what lens you used.

[@onjofilms]

It's amazing you can take a bunch of nothing and make it really interesting and intriguing. Nice work. And thanks for the notes on settings, informative.

[@Jackzxc321]

very professional....well done...wasn't sure which camera to buy but this has convinced me....it's got to be th 550D

[@vocazone5421]

Wow the lighting looks amazing. I have a 50D and am still getting to grips with it. Could you please give additional details such as the lens, aperture, iso you shot at? Thanks!

[@photographybyzak]

hey guys, that was well made, had some really good shots, gave it a cool feel! well done fellas

[@edmillion]

Such a brilliantly shot film, it just looks so beautiful! Love it! Well done :). Oh, and the soundtrack is amazing.

[@AshKilamande]

when is this action video coming out? im excited to watch!

[@fbithejames]

very nice video! I was very impressed. What was the color correction setting for this video? I'm really digging this. Thx

[@NajiShow]

Thanx Andyax, it is nice video. have u used any color correction Magic bullet ?

[@qsens]

wow very nice place for an action movie. But this visit movie is already a peace of art imo. Great skills there. Want to see more, registering!

[@Andyax]

@vocazone Hi :) Everything is explained in the video with text :)

[@jankmedia1985]

These videos are great, thanks so much for putting this together, gives me a great idea of what the t2i can do. It's an old camera but I got one for cheap and am excited to practice filmmaking. Subscribed!

[@iNick89]

I've been debating between the Rebel t3i, Nikon d5100, andSony A36 for the past month... After stumbling upon your channel, I've finally made my decision!! Canon it is :)... Awesome work!!!

[@KevinIrwinFilms]

Great job man, this is very very nice. Excellent steadycam work :)

[@IOYC]

This is really cool guys! Big ups, you go some natural skills for sure.

[@ageng.raditya]

this is really great! love the color, angle, everything! very profesional!

[@GuitaristDefty]

Thinking about getting one of these. Absolutely beautiful imagery by the way. Really fantastic.

[@luiscabesc]

That is one gorgeous location. And the old dust/smoke trick came out beautifully. What is that place, some kind of warehouse for boats? And what are you gonna do about sound?

[@Andyax]

@Bjornargioortzaarset I could :) But it takes time, and this was just a quick test actually :P

[@mmmmmmm3246]

I like your choice of music, instead of typical videos where they just put stereotypical rock. Great job!

[@RRichardHobbs]

I'm a professional location scout and none of my location scoutings ever looked this good lol. Good job - great location - nice editing :)

[@RyanRakowski]

Awesome video Andyax! Could you by chance upload some more clips of this camera in some lower light situations.

[@Kanbas]

That...was... AWESOME!!!! Great work guys! Congrats!!!

[@OktoberFilms]

Stunning! I'm off to think about whether to get the 550D or 60D. The kit lens is really not that bad, no matter what the L-snobs say. I have the 500D with the 18-55mm and it takes seriously good pictures. Video too, but I'm crippled by the automatic video. Anyways, a great film, well shot, fantastically framed, edited and colour corrected. And the music really works. Good work! Subscribed, as I want to see more of this.

[@uhuebner]

As this is requested so often... could you please describe your way of color correcting? It looks amazing. How to achieve this? What program is used? Manual correction or use of any presets?

[@Andyax]

@fullbartender Husk at bildene ikke er råmatriale, men redigert med at både kontrasten er satt opp, fargene er justert ned (saturation), de mørke tonene er satt mer blå og de lyse tonene er satt gulere ;) Jeg er veldig imponert over dynamic rangen. Kan være noe rart med skjermen din og :P

[@OyenRodriguez]

WHEW!!!!! QUALITY, COLOR and CONTRAST.. PERFECT!!!

[@makkil]

Perfect job and great final result! I'll get my T2i next week, and I'm following your videos to know more about this camera, and I'm really impressed to the quality you work. I got my steady also, and some lens kit. I'll finalize the colors and stuff in After Effects, wich is what I work with actually...lol.. Anyway, thanks a lot for posting those!!! Hugs from brazil.

[@Rickebros]

Amazing footage! If that was only a "quick test" I wonder what the finished movie will be like!

[@mixlevi12]

OK, WHERE IS THIS!?!?! Beautiful shots and location

[@AUTMUSENETWORK]

if i wanted to chrome key out the black of my window in with a movie....what shutter speed should i be using

[@omidnp]

It actually is a great piece of work! Guys I really need to beg for your help, I got my 550d 2 days ago which came with a 18-55 canon IS (stabiliser). The sick part is when I zoom in and out the lens aperture changes step by step, makes a very stupid clicking noise (not that loud but obvious on the built in microphone) and changes the light-intake at the same time by a recognisable step. First I thought my lens was faulty but went to the store tried different cams and lenses same story ?!!!

[@danielav254]

the best test video of 550D. congratulations!

[@gelmir4eva]

@Andyax Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing. At 2:36 what did you mean by High Contrast? How do you adjust that? And what software did you use to do the color correction?

[@BasiaOwczarek]

it would be lovely if you could specify which settings in your cam did you use for particular shots :)D I love the climate of mystery in your film :D

[@MAGEtvPTB]

any film with a shot of chucks in it is good in my book. this one just happens to be brilliant

[@furryferrets]

omg this is beautiful i felt like i was watching a movie you did a magnificent job love the suspense keep up the work

[@morrisman64]

GREAT FOOTAGE and thanks for detailing what you use that's very helpful us newbies

[@LaroseKimLee]

Wow great Video :) you mentioned in the info how you edited it . how and what software did you edited it and where can i purchase or sownload the software ? Plz and thank you ;)

[@RaceXtreme520]

@JWEggers it's on the t2i/550d so it has an APS-C sensor. it's big enough to not need a 35mm adapter.

[@EmTheBrave]

wow! the location is amazing!! nice find you guys!

[@todlovescheese]

you are a freakin' genius! this video is insane! i have a canon rebel t2i, and i wish i knew how to get my videos to look as professional as yours do, but I wouldn't even know where to start!

[@DavidAcampora]

@ntchi I haven't done a side-by-side comparison yet, but with some of the preset Scene File plug-ins you can find online, I'm getting about 10-12 stops of useable latitude on the T2i. I think the RED is somewhere around 13-14? So for about 16 thousand dollars less, you get a slightly inferior sensor.

[@Nyballer210]

Great video, this is creativity at its best. I was wondering, can you tell me the settings used when you exported this?

[@AloneWolfPictures]

Amazing location. and as always beautiful camera work! Can't wait to see your stuff on the silver screen! Keep em' coming

[@mick3b1g]

my question is on the focusing..You cant use auto focus as it flashes diff iso computing and it keeps adjusting until its happy. So I guess its manual but how do you get it so seamless by just looking at the view screen on the cam. When walking around how do you keep up as your moving and the subject is moving as well. Thanks...looks awesome

[@mandycri]

This camera looks great, as does the video, well done! My only concern is the manual focus, especially with the kit lens. Was it hard to get things in focus, moving people in particular?

[@ljhfilmstheworkofliamj.hol6927]

This was a very useful video, thanks! I'm seriously contemplating getting a t2i and jumping on the DSLR band wagon! ;-) This looks beautiful!

[@egortheoger]

I agree with Beanpole. I am about to buy a T2i and most the stuff I find on youtube or vimeo is terrible but I always come back to a few videos, this being one.

[@NicholasClarkeMedia]

Astounding. Beautiful. Your very talented!

[@Bjornvaniersel]

wow just pure awesomeness ^^ great quality for such a quantity really well done. Gonna buy mine next week. Impressive to get this kind of images with such a low ISO but what was your shutterspeed 1/60 or 1/50?

[@ollieeverett]

What sd card did you use and what brand of stedicam. awesome work! did you upload h264. thanks

[@RichardWoolfenden]

Really enjoyed this video. You have achieved a great balance between light, movement and space. Which "handheld steadycam" did you use - your use of it was very smooth.

[@tracer64]

Great job, Andy. I too am wondering what steady cam you used? I think I'm going to buy the T2i after seeing your footage.

[@anounimofficial4876]

Wow its amazing . I am really love this video. I support u dude. Success for your chanel . Greeting from indonesia 🤙

[@rgesualdo]

every test video on youtube and vimeo should learn from this and place the info of lens, iso, etc, some might say is lazyness, but I think is a good guide for people starting out, thanx for the work and all the info, great job by the way

[@TheJdog389]

I'm curious to know......where would I find good gun shot sound fx? Great video by the way!

[@lazykid1000]

Love the look of this video. I've had to the T2i myself for about 2 weeks now, and have been trying to shoot video myself. However, I can't get my video to look like film in post production. Even after shooting in 25fps and color correction, it still has that crisp video look. Sorry, I'm new to filming, but I was wondering, do you do something to the video in post production? Are you doing something to the frame rate,compression, or picture quality? How do you get that smooth film look? Thanks

[@numbnuts3rd]

Fantastic video. A real treat and inspiration.

[@OzcanKizil]

congratulations on doing a great job, assembly and coloring,with which program thank u 🙏

[@Egaylesimages]

wow, this is great ! Im going to try it.... where did you get that music from

[@productfeedback]

Hi Could you please explain to me the rendering setting you used to upload this to youtube? I have the same footage what are the optimal settings.

[@Vladesco911]

@MarkyJayStudios which video editing did u use on this video? Great job btw

[@DesignRec]

Some foley would have made this amazing. Very nice, but like one of the top commenters asked, how did you manage to make this with so little noise? Please explain

[@QuizAmple]

Perfect video, Whats the colour correction software..?

[@Hellotherekyle]

IBrilliant shots, I can't wait to watch it in HD! I just got a 550D and am really enjoying it so far. What were you using as a steadicam? Also, what did you end up using for sound for this camera?

[@pecka2k]

Stunning quality, a brilliant video.

[@Hellotherekyle]

@Andyax ahh I see. I really need to build one of those! I found some plans for one online but I dunno how good it would be. What is this place you are filming in anyways, some kind of factory?

[@TrazshMan]

how do you get the picture to look exactly like this? please explain in full detail...this is awsome

[@buzzie114]

@Andyax hey i bought that camera like 1 week ago, and i realy like it, here is my question, in which cases i should put my shutter speed lower or higher? what shutter speed actualy does ?

[@JesseDeKoster]

Just amazing... This could have been a few shots from a movie.

[@cillecil]

wow.. nice.. can i know what background sound u use..?? love it.. :)
