Salton Sea Beach

[@AdamLoretz]

I love the colour and slow energy in this peace - creaking springs, wind blowing. Snapshots through old walls, doors and windows. A glimpse of yesterday, flat tyres and old chairs. Romantic and sentimental, slightly Coenesque.

[@cherrybombink]

Those colours are sublime! Your films have so much feeling to them, even without any music you still understand what you were trying to portray! Thank you for making and uploading these beauties! Love your work, makes me want to do the same!

[@SubhasisMukherjee]

Even after 11 years, I search and watch it again and again.

[@calreid]

Ry Cooder is one of my favourite artists of all time. You've created visuals as great as the music, congratulations. I'm a big fan of your work, particularly with your DSLR work you really set the bar. Anyway i'm probably not the first person to tell you this, so i'll just say, amazing video.

[@sean57]

Phil, thats some nice work! always liked the Salton Sea area, great creative space!

[@KalaniPrince]

Gorgeous.. honestly, I can barely tell the difference between the T2i, 7D, and 5D anymore, they are all SOLID. Well done, I'm impressed.. Love and Aloha, Kalani-

[@LikeABoggs]

great footage AND sound

[@theedgephotography]

Inspiring! Your camerawork is exceptional. Can't wait to see more of your videos from the baby 7d!

[@slworking2]

Awesome work - especially the camera angles. I've explored these same buildings and trailers plenty of times. Just got back from a Salton Sea trip a few hours ago.

[@worawutc.4933]

this is awesome , I come here for 20 times and will be more

[@DominikBelancic]

I just can't stop watching this....

[@freethinker01]

Amazing photography! I have just ordered a 550D and can't wait to use it!!

[@SatireDaily]

there we go. i love your work.

[@BestofYTChannel]

This video has been selected as one of the Most Amazing videos on KZbin and was added to the channel's playlist accordingly. Thanks for sharing. Regards, bestofYTchannel

[@brmoogma]

Wenders would love it...nice and tasteful colour grading....

[@HBaker91]

Great sound mixing there. Fantastic

[@natg900]

This is absolutely amazing work Phillip! I own the T2i myself, and hopefully I will see you at your Australian Workshop

[@freddow]

This video really makes me think of some post-apocalyptic world, somewhere where humans suddenly've disappeared, great work

[@boneho]

Amazing Philip! Needless to say! Needless to say

[@MikeOvertonFilms]

you are the pro of pro's for DSLR's. I saw you on zacuto, and saw that skywalker ranch thing, and searched you on youtube. sure enough-- you have your own channel!!!!! your videos are awesome.

[@pip2000]

Very nice work Phil, keep it up mate

[@philipbloom]

appreciate you taking the time to watch...sorry its not your thing...will try harder in future! ;)

[@CarstenGoeke]

12 years ago and still one of my favourite shorts. Thanks for sharing ✌🏻#rycooder

[@mysteryboxfilms]

Great color work!

[@Anhslaught]

@KalaniPrince from what I read, the T2i and 7D are practically the same. The T2i might be a little more cropped than the 7D, but the main difference is the way they're built. Quality wise, a 7D can withstand thunder/snow storms where as the t2i is more brittle and isn't water proofed.

[@YoungBlaze]

hey tired to go to your blog its down, but just wanted to know what was the lens, and the settings you used for this video?

[@lextube]

how was the camera shielded from the sandstorm?

[@mindyourtub]

just amazing, i love it

[@l614mh]

this video has me completely sold on this camera. I adore it

[@chowmonkey2002]

Very inspiring video.

[@sherbetheadmusic]

Insane camera work. Image is so nice, looks like real film and I usually can tell really good dslr's from film.

[@laughingcrows]

Lovely. And if you haven't seen the movie PARIS TEXAS, do so. Question Mr Bloom: how do you get such great music? Do you license it all? Do you ask permission or just borrow and always give credit?

[@philipbloom]

i just checked out some of your stuff...interesting... :)

[@Mexymillion]

Good lord, This is crazy! I own the same camera but damn.. I now see it's all about skills not the hardware. Lot's of respect man!

[@seanbabasfilms]

Now that, sir, was beautiful.

[@buzzterbrown]

Geez Phil, you find beauty in the roughest places. You're a video poet.

[@ethaneditor]

I use this video for inspiration. Im a Digital film student that uses this for so many references! I absolutely love this! Also I shoot with a 60D and love it!

[@NewspeakRasta]

You truly did an amazing job, I loved the film, and thumbs up all the way... I'm currently working on a student film and had planned on using the Salton Sea area as my location as well, and I was wondering, when did you take these shots? Was it recent?

[@pierrerichard7777]

hello sir , did u use the stock lens for this?

[@gabaria]

meu amigo onde você filmou isso?? é aqui no brasil?? bunitoo lugar.. gosteii da filmadora muitoo linda qualidade.. ela simula cinema neh??

[@Anhslaught]

man this video is amazing! I've been so addicted to my T2i since i've gotten it. Hope my stuff turns out as good as yours one of these days. Hopefully before I have to update the t2i. :D

[@sydbius]

I visit this video every so often, saw it when it first premiered,

[@kontrolproductions09]

Nice Vid.. Did you use a polarizer or just post grade? Love the dolly shots by the way..

[@philipbloom]

@LFKzeGemini and thanks!

[@samhuisman]

What kind of lenses/equipment and post production did you do use for the video? Looks absolutely brilliant. I just got the 550d and am trying to get these kinds of results.

[@DanMarcelino]

great vid!! love the quality =] how much was this cam? and what currency? and also do you have any accesories for it?

[@KinsTV]

@Mouriscas he has quite a few videos out there where he tells is picture style settings. he always says to turn contrast and sharpness all the way down.... i believe he takes the saturation down 2 steps also. My favorite picture style for my T2i is CineStyle.

[@scrappybilly1]

Some of the best t2i footage out there

[@ChrisGallimoreMusic]

The grading on this is brilliant!

[@gtownny]

Nice Video! I picked up my T2i last week and have been trying different settings. What was your shutter speed for this video ??? Also what software did you use to color grade?

[@shane8109]

Well done sir!

[@BlackSupraC2]

amazing video..this will be a noob question but how do you border the video like that to make it appear wider

[@GreeVen]

Amazing, what are the lenses used? Any 35mm used or what?

[@Truth_Seeker_79]

Wow, totally taken back by the clarity of your vid phil, very nice job! Could you please tell what lens you used on the REbel???

[@YoungBlaze]

@koxxx do you know the settings he used on this camera

[@ethanhenry4246]

@jdscamwatch1 i don't think much of this was autofocus. The reason it may seem like that is because the focus point is moving closer and further away which means it goes out of focus, then in, then out. Just seemed like a negative comment in eevryway, i think they did a great job.

[@JackHammervil]

Wow, amazing camera and amazing work too. What lense are u using?? great video. :)

[@dayboyy24]

This looks amazing... What kind of lens did you use?

[@philipbloom]

@dcsfilmproductions all sound effects!

[@RockerTheJuniorr]

what editing software did you use,and what were the rendering parameters for KZbin... :D thnx

[@Sykkra]

amazing video. can you please list the lenses used?

[@seanbabasfilms]

By the way, 2 quick questions for ya: 1. What lens did you use? 2. Did you use the camera's mic or a separate one leading in?

[@philipbloom]

@OldMacSpasti it's all sound effects

[@Raditram]

This so damn good, too damn good. I don't think I'd be able to do this, even with an Epic or something.

[@kimsztajnrod]

Muito bom, parabens! A t2i sera minha proxima camera!

[@DrinkChef]

Can I ask a few questions.. 1) What lens did you use ( 18-55mm?) 2) Do you need a 32GB Class 10 Memory Card? 3) Did you buy a glidecam? and how much?

[@NajiShow]

Nice video, i ll get this sexy 550d this week have u done any color correction magic bullet or? Thanx philip.

[@gabaria]

A t2i produz toda essa qualidade ou tenho que ajustar efeito?

[@WillyBangsTheDrum]

@philipbloom this was just amazing

[@gabaria]

vlw amigão por respond.. esse plugin é para programs? ou é dela ou programa dela?

[@chaomonga]

@thatniggbeme7 read the YT guidelines on video compression. You should find all the Information you need in there.

[@featherflow]

Hi Philip. I have just got this camera and I am a complete novice with it. I've always used crappy camcorders, which I was a complete novice with too. Everything always on auto ;) I've come across a couple of your interviews on youtube and I am a massive fan already! This piece is incredible ... and to think it's on the 550/T2i. I have turned down my sharpness and contrast but that's all I understand so far LOL

[@ItsKapow]

Hi Philip, did you use Magic Lantern for this shoot?

[@Rafreezotech]

I'm from Malaysia.I do admire your work Sir!.You are my inspiration.Just upgraded myself from point to shot camera to DSLR (T4i).Can you advise me what is the best lens for wide angle and micro or a prime lens that works with T4i?.Im a beginner and looking for a low budget lens to learn and work with.Currently I owned only a STM 18~135 lens.Thank you Sir

[@goslingjc]

Can anyone recommend more music like this? I like twangy american country stuff like this...

[@TheKwtmedia]

nice i like it

[@amarbir22]

are all the shots hand held ?

[@DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

Im alredy saving for this camera, thanks for the video

[@EMSENNA]

wow where did you get the sound effects?

[@gabaria]

o que voc me diz do som dessa t2i ?? é de qualidade?? é verdade entaum neh q ela simula mesmo video cinema:?

[@derekf138]

Always good stuff!!! If I'm debating between the 550d and 7d but only looking at them for video, is there any major bonuses for getting the 7d, or can I pay half the price since I only want one of them for filmming?

[@RodrickeHarris]

That Was Nice!!!!!!!!!

[@LikeAVideo]

Just one thing... PERFECT VIDEO/AUDIO QUALITY

[@AshKilamande]

what lens was used in shooting this video?

[@M3DD]

Cant believe that it is the 550D, actually looks better than some videos made in the 5d !

[@sspphhiinnxx]

could you please write down the settings that your using ? and if this is a color correction preset ? please name it :D or sendit , thats a PERFECT VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. and STILL CAMERA ? how did you get that ? or all natural

[@360PuertoRico]

Nice video. Philip, I know that you are not bias. I am trying to decide between the T2i and the GH1. Some people say that the GH1 video is better because the AVCHD codec is superior but for me I do not see a diference and Canon has more accessories and lenses. I want the camera for stock videos. In Pond5, Istock, and Shutter Stock, I see that buyer purchase more clips from Canon DSLRs than those from Lumix GH1. You have tested both cameras. Which is better for stock video?

[@Scias]

wow its like a blockbuster movie intro

[@CallOfDutyTips]

brilliant!

[@HammamAbdullah]

@DeShonDixonHD I'm not into cameras stuff so much.. but all what I have to do is buy Canon 550D/T2I and i will get the same quality ?

[@dansmith904]

what kind of mic did you use, beautiful video btw i am thinking about buying one :)

[@MoralFoil]

Ry Cooder elevates any video. Good choice.

[@SKolenc]

where did you get the sound FX?

[@MrHairyRambo]

did you use a crane ?

[@philipbloom]

not any of them?! :)

[@DylanW216]

what lens did you use?

[@NobodyDog]

Hell Yeah Man! HELL YEAH!

[@playman350]

Mind = blown up

[@MrDavidOlanipekun]

what lenses was used for this?

[@ChemicalFlash]
