Thanks for the feedback mate! :) I always shoot in full manual mode, but I know for certain that I didn't pay much attention to the shutter speed. I don't have any ND filters as of yet, and so I opt for shooting wide open most of the time at higher shutter speeds. Although this does rob the shot of 'natural' looking motion blur, I don't mind so much. I understand that there are certain 'desireable' shutter speeds for folks out there trying to emulate a more filmic look, but I am not one of those. Don't get me wrong, I like motion blur as much as the next guy, but I'm not to squeamish about shooting normal action at 1/4000 if I have to either. Use whatever works and looks good to you, I say! :) Christian Hey Mark! Thanks for the feedback mate! :)

As everyone else has said, the colors are just insane, very nice job! Can you tell me, are you shooting in full manual? If so, what kind of shutter speeds did you use for this video? Many have said to keep it around 1/50th for 24p or 1/125th for 60p. For me to try and run those speed in full daylight, I need to stack on some ND filters. Again, great video, let's see some more when you can! Really diggin this video! As everyone else has said, the colors are just insane, very nice job! Can you tell me, are you shooting in full manual?

Thanks mate! I use Hoya Circular Polarisers. I haven't as yet coughed the big bucks for the Pro1D Multi Layered, super dooper awesome ones yet. To be honest unless I'm using the 100-400 at full telephoto, I can't see any major difference in image quality by putting the polariser on. Hey Dirk! Thanks mate!

Question I'm not familiar with the "circular polarizer". Is there a specific one you recommend for the Canon 7D? LOVE this video, great job. Question I’m not familiar with the “circular polarizer”.

I use Final Cut Studio to for editing and post. My advice would be to skip the software aimed at beginner and do the hard yards learning something more full featured. Your learning curve may be steeper at the start, but it's really not that difficult and once you have gotten used to cutting simple stuff, the tools to take it to the next level will be right there instead of you outgrowing something simple and having to move to a new program again. For a bit more info on what I use, check out here <a href="http://www.highdefedition.com/2009/10/tools-of-the-trade-part-2/" rel="nofollow"> Good luck with it all Hey Seth,

I'm making a bit of a transition from stills to video (my 7d is in the mail on it's way here right now) and am looking into video editing software, so I was just wondering what you use. I'm not looking for something crazy but I would like something that will allow me to take advantage of the different properties of the camera, i.e. different frame rates, etc., and look nice. keep up the great work, -Seth Hey there Christian,

What do they say about the gear not making the movie? This stuff isn't too different to what I was shooting on the 500D a couple of weeks ago, it's just in full 1080 now. You can make pretty pictures on anything. Don't let the lack of an expensive camera stop you from getting out there and shooting! :) Thanks Max. What do they say about the gear not making the movie?

Yeah HD is nice, but it is absolutely chewing through my drive space like nothing else! :) I use a Manfrotto 503HDV Fluid Pan Head on Manfrotto 525MVB sticks. The sticks just arrived today though, i was using the 055XB's, buy they started giving out. No wonder, they have been submerged in saltwater, beaten and battered over the last 2 years! :) For video you've got to have a decent tripod. I take that thing everywhere! Go out and buy your 7D and fresh tripod and get shooting! :) I'm sure you won't be disappointed. . . Hey David,

Waow ! Congratulations ! being an old-fashioned lover of argentic, I'm finally close to fall in numeric univers. EOS 7D will be my next - and first - SLR ! For everyone, thanks to Shazam (must-app on every iPhone), the music is : Relvolving Door by Crazy Town (album : The Gift of Game), maybe an acoustic version... keep going on, Christian ! I will try to follow your way, here in Switzerland ! Hi Christian !
