Year in Toronto | Nikon D3300 Video test |

[@zacksimpson]

Four years ago, this video prompted me to buy a Nikon D3300 and dive into videography for the first time. Of course, my early videos weren't great, but I continued, because your video proved that the only thing that was standing in my way was me. Fast forward to today, and I own a wedding videography company, have traveled across the world to film events for others, and have the privilege of capturing incredible stories through my camera on a regular basis. This video made me realize I don't need the expensive gear to create something compelling. In fact, if anything, technical limitations tend to make us more creative. To this day, I still use the D3300 regularly for that very reason. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing this.

[@Blueeyesinthesky]

Zack Simpson omg this is so inspiring. I just got mine gifted from my cousin. It’s my first ever camera. I’m so excited to create beautiful art

Been looking at D3300 test videos and this is by far the best one. Well done.

[@AlexTurbo]

This video is amazing. I was just looking for test footage of the D3300 and did not expect this.

[@abodialdhari1027]

Was thinking of picking up an Olympus EM-10 II, but the video and stills are so much better with the D3300. Thanks for the great samples.

[@kyle901]

You're somehow making me feel nostalgic for Toronto, which is ridiculous because I live in Toronto.

[@ericcoscolluela7619]

[@muzzilim1]

You have to sell this to the city.

[@CorbysOrbit]

Try "Special Events" with the City. Seriously.

[@thetoothfixer8509]

Wow bro, great video.

[@Mark_bretner]

Finally someone uses the video settings well!

[@FLICKROBOT]

+Péter Kovács why thank you kind sir.

[@Mark_bretner]

+FLICKROBOT do you use some downloaded filter presets for colors or you made them?

[@FLICKROBOT]

Péter Kovács yea i used the VSCO film presets

[@FlairEsports]

AMAZING VIDEO!

[@siongesteban4122]

Pretty awesome! Both the shots and color grading! I'm also a D3300 user. Btw, sir. May I ask your video for our school project? I just don't have enough time to shoot my own clips. Good day!

[@lisamadeleinesmith4996]

Very atmospheric.

[@user-tl4mi5wl9y]

Wow awesome

[@Moose_Track]

Will there be more of the videos of Toronto? I guess you have limited footages of toronto, or this is one side of toronto you want us to see, but i am sure we will be happy to see more. thanks!

[@FLICKROBOT]

+saymyname as of right now i stopped filming random clips of Toronto, i am trying to make more narrative videos. But i might start up again after New Years.

[@Lifehacksss]

Excellent! Did you shoot in 24FPS for the cinematic shots?

[@chelawetzel4892]

[@AlruMoToRiderz]

[@nicolaibunsoon1609]

Post filming effects, you can do it in lightroom or adobe after effect.. whatever software really.

[@nguyenvu6232]

[@FLICKROBOT]

+Raheem Givans thank you!

[@EXTERMINADORJAVIER]

Very nice! Which program did you use for editing?

[@jordansterck5041]

Great footage. You captured a really interesting perspective of the city. If you don't mind me asking, do you shoot RAW/flat? And what program did you use VSCO in?

WOW! awesome dude! =)

[@CrisMadla]

What settings did you use on low light? Its great you were able to color grade without much grain :D I got the D3300 as well and I'm experiencing with it on my channel.

[@PLopezproduction]

awesome !

[@kekayoewa]

What lens did you use for the skating scene, the night scenes and the train scene?

[@pattyboi]

What type of lens filter would be similar to the color of this video?

[@yaomang08]

great video man

[@naturalmindy]

Amazing video man! I just bought a d3300 too. I'd like to know: what aperture you used when recording with kit lens? And also, for the slow-mo parts, did you recort at 60p?

[@Stavratov]

Good video! Friend, in what program you made such a tinting color?

[@fabikramer_]

Amazing video! One question. I also bought the D3300, which video settings did you use while recording this?

[@RodrigoDeMarco]

Hey, what an awesome video you made! I bought the same camera as yours, but my interest in making videos like this came afterwards and I was worried about my camera not being good for that. So I'm quite happy to see a piece of art like this being shot with this equipment. Did you use anything besides the camera, like a external viewfinder for the LCD or anything? Looking forward to see your process tutorial, if you may grant us with any! bye!

[@FLICKROBOT]

+Rodrigo De Marco Thank you for the nice words. I didn't use any external viewfinder for this video. :-)

[@DCGraphie]

Hi this is amazing! You are doing the slomotion with the 60fps?

[@DimgennOfficial]

Hey awesome stuff! can you explain or show me how you made that color correction ? it seems awesome!

[@FLICKROBOT]

+FlowEditz Thanks, i exported the video after the edit and imported it into lightroom. I then applied a VSCO film preset to it. I might make a video on my process if enough people request it.

[@completeGamer007]

+FLICKROBOT can u? plz!!

[@georgskt]

+FLICKROBOT GREAT GREAT quality! it would be interesting to do a tutorial with the process that you applied this video to get that wonderful quality! I also have a D3300, but I can not get a result like this!

[@TheLetter_E]

+FLICKROBOT It would be really nice if you could make a video explaining how you graded the video. Great vid by the way.

[@gustoledano111]

World be great! please do it.

[@mohammedghalab159]

beatiful

[@OfficialHecticBoyyy]

OMG the best test video ive seen how can i get shots like this is it a certain lens i need or just setting/effects ?

[@completeGamer007]

what lense did u use for the slow mo parts Thanks and tis video is awesome, i keep looking at it lol

[@lukemarvenko2845]

awesome

[@fredpelle]

Buying myself a D3300 this week! Are you satisfied with the results you can get with it on the video side!?

[@kekayoewa]

And the winter part

[@elisaolivieri3170]

Sooooo good🙌... Song?

[@FLICKROBOT]

we don't eat by james Vincent mcmorrow

[@srk9099]

Hey Flick I was wondering what program you used to edit the footage? Also did you make any alterations to the footage through that program?

[@auliakarima11]

nice video

[@TheSweeeet1234]

Did you made the colours like that just by operating the camera or did you add some kinda filter in a programme? This video is great, I just got my nikon d3300 and I can only wish to be able to do movies like that one day.

[@mateipruteanu]

peyote he may have used a program to color grade, but you can buy some lens filters so it films like this directly from the camera

[@Abbie725]

I think you did an amazing job putting this video together! It would be great if you could make a tutorial on how you accomplished this. Im a beginner and i can only wish to have videos this good!

[@FLICKROBOT]

+Anne Torres thank you, i will try to make one once i finish exams :)

[@saramartinezcarmona3683]

Video editor that you use? thanks!!

[@AlainCovers]

hi sir which software did you use please to edit your video

[@CharScarX]

Views from the 6. Haha but for real, nice video!

[@browneyewoman]

Does the kit lens make noises when you auto focus?

[@ghettopresas]

yes

[@letitbe3319]

Did you use any effects for this?

[@g_nise]

is it a real quality of video? do u have any effects here? i ask u about standard effects. or may be it's a youtube adds?

[@FLICKROBOT]

+Vladimir G-Nise i added colour grading, that's it

[@shahee4029]

What program did you use to edit?

[@a_b_h_i_a_b_h_i]

do you use the kit lens?

[@chidera9005]

Hi! Do you know what shutter speed did you had it on for the more slow-motion parts? Great video by the way!

[@FLICKROBOT]

+peach rings shutter speed for slow motion was 1/120. To achieve the film look, you would want to multiply the fps by 2. I shot the slow-mo at 60fps therefore 1/120 shutter speed.

[@oggy_rio]

Can you write the name of VSCO film preset please? P.S. Video is awesome!)

[@FLICKROBOT]

+OggyTheCat i used the Fuji Superia 800 ++, i'm not sure which pack it's from

[@oggy_rio]

***** thanks a lot)

[@prrajil007]

Which lens did u use for night video shoot ?

[@J1MusicOfficial]

what lense did you use sir?

[@Sheseessun]

Help? Just getting started with Nikon D3300. Want to make some simple videos, do you have a software editing program you could recommend? Thanks!

[@lorizzlevanjizzle8993]

This video was a real great piece , in which occations did you use the 35mm prime ? And which lenses are better in what scenario for video ??

[@FLICKROBOT]

+Lorenzo Van Oort The ones filmed during the summer was filmed with 35mm. I personally like 35mm a lot more, but the only negative thing about it is it has no image stabilization

[@acaftermath]

hey, great video. I;m also from toronto canada. I was wondering, what is the best setting for this camera for movie mode without any blurs at all. Do I set it to Apeture mode of f5.6 or more? what do you suggest? thanks.

[@FLICKROBOT]

higher aperture makes the image sharper, so less blur :) maybe around 7 will be fine, depending on the shot

[@realdf]

Looks great! How did you colour correct this?

[@FLICKROBOT]

+Franky V i used VSCO film presets through Lightroom

[@TJSinghVideos]

really great video....low light performance is good.... did u used the stock lens to shoot this video.....i"ll be soon replacing my sony camera that i use now for my youtube videos with this camera :)

[@FLICKROBOT]

+Tajinder Singh thank you!! 70% of these were shot with the stock lens 18-55. The rest are shot with prime lens 35mm. I gotta warn you that the stock lens have limited low light performance.

[@TJSinghVideos]

+FLICKROBOT can u tell me model of ur prime lens....stock lens is not that good because its 9 megapixel lens :) i read this somewhere ....

[@FLICKROBOT]

+Tajinder Singh I have the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens

[@TJSinghVideos]

+FLICKROBOT thanks...and check some of my videos that i shot with sony camera it's video quality is great :)

[@kevinzeta27]
