| Gentlehard Member 762 Posts 9/07 | Posted - Nov 6 2010 : 9:36AM I have one and got it not for video but for capture off video the way fashion photographers use the Red. I like it a lot but find the lack of autofocus for video frustrating. You can refocus during taking a video by pressing the shutter button half way but the screen lights up and the sound of the lens focusing is recorded. I would like to know what compromises you suffer with the T2i compared with the professional models. Seems much smaller and lighter which is good. [Link] |

| prototype Member Bad Taste 113 Posts 6/06 | Posted - Nov 6 2010 : 6:23PM I was looking at one a few months back here I thought it was a bit of a wierd feeling though for me I guess in the end if your happy with the final product is what counts Edited by - LexRated on 11/7/2010 3:19:07 AM [Link] |
| ChodeMasterJ Perpetual Marxist 5405 Posts 4/03 | Posted - Nov 8 2010 : 12:04AM Nikon is coming out with a model that has autofocus for the video I think. I saw something about it in a magazine about a month ago but I didn't buy the magazine so I didn't read about it or anything. Not sure exactly how that will work and how you'll control the autofocus, but it's an interesting idea at least. I'm sure more companies will jump on that soon. As for the compromises with the T2i, I'm not 100% sure. I know it's not as good as a 7D, but in all the reviews in magazines and online that I've read it's pretty comparable to it, feature-wise. The T2i body isn't weathersealed and is made out of plastic, where as the 7D's is made out of metal (I believe) and is weathersealed. It's no 7D or 5D Mark II, obviously, but for the price it's a really good camera. I'm glad I got it.  Can you explain what you meant about capturing off video the way fashion photographers use the Red? I'm not really sure what you're talking about but I'm interested in finding out! haha. [Link] |

| bootymeister Senior Member Gravity as Curved Space: Bootymeister's Theory of General Relativity 1589 Posts 11/08 | Posted - Nov 23 2010 : 8:16PM I agree completely, except I would just plainly descrbie LUHD as presented in low resolution. But I do not know whether it was the camera or some treatment given to the video after it was shot, and was therefore intentional. Perhaps that almost fuzzy view it was is preferred by those who prefer to see leggings instead of legs. However I was cool with the stockings going in. But with the perfect array of A's and B's as presented by Marie Luv, Lily LaBeau, Jenna Haze and Zoe Voss, I should have been able to feel the electrification of erect nipples, but I could barely see if the nipples were erect. Regardless, I was looking for better picture quality than the marginal quality of SB2. Having said that, the Marie Luv scene featured shots which highlighted her overall form and great chemistry with Mark Ashley, making LUHD worth a purchase. I would have loved the Lily LaBeau scene too if it was not for the technical aspects. Edited by - bootymeister on 11/23/2010 9:19:48 PM [Link] |
| ddl33 Member 442 Posts 2/08 | Posted - Nov 23 2010 : 9:08PM Have you seen Young and Glamourous 2? Chris Streams pretty much uses the intentional soft effect I think you were referring to...but his video quality is solid and stable throughout. [Link] |
| bootymeister Senior Member Gravity as Curved Space: Bootymeister's Theory of General Relativity 1589 Posts 11/08 | Posted - Nov 23 2010 : 10:18PM I was savvy enough to rent instead of purchase a G/G flick called "La Femme Lovers" distributed by Daring Media Group. It was a well done, artistic and seductive series of lesbians attired in fine lingerie. It was obvious that the video was shot in high resolution but was enhanced with what seemed like muted ligthing and airbrushing, so the movie was much less stimulating. What I found to be odd, in the DVD extras, the director boasted about his finished product by showing a series of original raw, high-resolution, vibrant short clips immediately followed by the 'enahnced' version of the same short clip. Needless to say I could not possibly make the purchase after seeing smaples of the true orginal vivid video. I suspect this is the norm for the Daring Media Group and pass over all of their stuff.

| ddl33 Member 442 Posts 2/08 | Posted - Nov 24 2010 : 1:23AM I remember the YG2 trailer, but that's just in the beginning of the scenes during the tease segments that look that extremely soft. The entire movie does have a slightly soft look to it (that I didn't mind at all), but I was still able to get a realistic feel to the picture which is very important to me at least. I liked it a lot. You should give it a rental, it's got a great cast. LUHD, I could see that during the teases they intentionally made it to look the way it did. But after the tease it still didn't give me the realistic feel I look for. I'm still thinking it's the camera. I think I did read somewhere it gives off a filmic look. [Link] |

You can also mark on the focus wheel your focus points that you want to move from and to, especially if your doing some sort of dialogue sequence. Something along this line that I recently shot:  [Link] |

| ChodeMasterJ Perpetual Marxist 5405 Posts 4/03 | Posted - Dec 29 2010 : 1:42AM Has anything new happened in the Porn/DSLR world? This thread was pretty active for a while then kinda died. Mike...Van...Kevin...Gary? Anything going on with you using DSLRs to film some good ol' fashion fucking? Any info is appreciated. :) [Link] |

| WillDisanto Member 54 Posts 12/10 | Posted - Dec 29 2010 : 4:47PM I have shot two movies for Daring Media on DSLR's The latest of these movies "The Informers" trailer can be seen here. http://daringmediagroup.com/trailers We shoot on 3 DSLR's and cut between them. We usually use 85, 35, 50 and 24mm primes and a few additional telephotos. Shooting adult content is pretty tricky both at the point of production and post but nice for that classic cinematic look. [Link] |
| ChodeMasterJ Perpetual Marxist 5405 Posts 4/03 | Posted - Dec 30 2010 : 2:37AM I watched the trailer for Informers and thought that it was very nice and looked good. What other movie have you done for Daring where you used DSLRs? Also, what camera did you use on Informers? Thanks. [Link] |
| WillDisanto Member 54 Posts 12/10 | Posted - Dec 30 2010 : 8:06AM I'm pretty sure that Kendo also uses DSLR's in his productions for Daring too. His work looks excellent! The setup for "The Informers" was; 3 Canon 5D MII - Usually one 35 (establishing shot) one 85 for Headshots and a 70 - 200 for Variation. Porn is pretty tricky in my opinion to shoot with a fixed DSLR, so I tend to shot 3 angles and cut between them. I encourage the performers to just deliver the scene. The Daring style content does not require any direct camera eye contact from the performers and that is a massive factor as well. (you can cut to the best angle without having to consider eye contact in the edit) Under lights I clamp the cameras at 3200K so the colors are balanced and shoot in neutral mode. Obviously the canon audio is about as bad as you can get so all the audio is recorded separately and synced in post. With care you can get an excellent film style look. The Downsides in my opinion are: 1) On wide (non shallow Depth of field shots) the sensor can sometimes go crazy and deliver random wild artefacts in the footage. 2) I would not attempt work off tripod as rolling shutter is unavoidable. 3) You have to use audio recorded from a separate source. (a little tip here: use pluraleyes to sync up the audio and footage) [Link] |
| ChodeMasterJ Perpetual Marxist 5405 Posts 4/03 | Posted - Jan 2 2011 : 3:09AM I'm aware of the horrid sound quality that DSLRs pick up with their built in mics, so I plan on getting a Zoom h4n soon for audio. My film buddy also recommended Pluraleyes for syncing audio and video. His day job is working for a wedding filming business and they'll have 4 or 5 separate cameras capturing footage simultaneously, so they use that to sync the audio to all of the video that they have. It seems to be a very useful tool. Do you have anything else in the works that you're going to shoot with DSLRs? [Link] |

| ChodeMasterJ Perpetual Marxist 5405 Posts 4/03 | Posted - Jan 2 2011 : 10:45PM Zoom h4n's are pretty popular from what I've read/seen. Skronker has already said in this thread that he uses them for interviews. I need to get one, but I've got tuition that's due next week and I'm waiting for a grant to get approved, so I've gotta wait till after all that's ironed out before I'm gonna order it. I'm jonesing for it though! :) [Link] |

| ChodeMasterJ Perpetual Marxist 5405 Posts 4/03 | Posted - Jan 2 2011 : 11:43PM They have a cheaper version, but the h4n is supposed to be fucking awesome. When did you start using one Skronk?[Link] |
| Van Styles Member Starr Power 306 Posts 1/04 | Posted - Jan 5 2011 : 7:16PM Also chode... this isn't porn related but I just shot another video for the Group Melrose which consists of Murs and Terrace Martin (producer for Snoop Dogg) and being you are into dslr figured you might be interested in checking it out, just went live yesterday...

| ChodeMasterJ Perpetual Marxist 5405 Posts 4/03 | Posted - Jan 6 2011 : 10:19PM Seeing as Canon's DSLR footage comes out with that codec, this is an important issue when doing DSLR filming. What do you guys use to edit the files, or what do you have to prep your files to edit? Also, isn't color correction easier in Premiere also? I'm interested in what you guys do. Call me out if I made any tech mistakes in the above paragraph as well. Thanks. [Link] |
