Philip Bloom

Lovely Phil. You had some great sky boxes in there, just beautiful. That shot of the guy playing what I think was a Trumpet, if not someone will correct me, is just unreal. It almost looks fake the way he’s so separated from the background. Great shots and interview pieces all around, especially love the bit with the old gent talking about his debt. LOL.

I will say philip, after watching this on that big screen with theater sound viewing it with my macbook pro is kinda of a let down. Beautiful work! How long will you have the PL mount 7D for or is this the only shoot you will use it for?

Man, couldn’t have asked for better overcast. Perfect backdrop. Great job.

I still can’t get over the light sensitivity of those sensors.
The early morning shots and the ones in the stables are incredible.
With my Letus it would have been impossible to do without bringing in tons of lights.

I will agree, your best work yet. The audio in the interviews was perfect. I really liked the airplane coming closer and the horse riding up.

A really awesome film,every pictures tells a story, a good theme, good peoople, good editing. I love to see more and we see how important good lenses are. Never the less, you think you can get the same shots with an Eos550? of course with the same lenses?

Another great film Phil! I’m on the fence between a 5DMKII or 7D and this film gets me leaning more to the 7D. Great low light shots, was it all available light? Impressive how good the 7D looks especially the ability to do 60fps.

I had a last minute change in schedule so could not attend your class yesterday. I’m planning to be in LV for NAB next month, any possibility that you’ll have another class on the west coast around that time?

Keep up your inspirational work.

Phillip and Jeremy,

Beautiful work guys. What a great thing it is to do work that you love and it shows in the final product. Phillip, did you find any challenges in the weight distribution of the Cooke lenses given their obviously larger dimensions? Or were they not that much heavier than the Canon L series glass?

Regards,

Jordan

Good piece. I like how it starts off slowly to give a taste of the atmosphere, followed by letting us meet the different beings that hang around the place. The ending was a little sudden for me, I might have expected to see something of the end of the day there, with the people gone again, and light fading.

Nice titles, too, by the way.

Maravilloso! Its indeed a wonderfull job. Inspiring. Its really cool to follow all your post because its the way to learn how, and at the same time, to enjoy lovely pieces like this one. Thanks.

Loved the close-ups – beautiful. Lots of great shots: the dust from the guy raking the hay, reflection of the horse in the puddle, the black cat, trumpet man, the old betting dude … did you use noise reduction software like neat video at all ?

Wonderful Phil really wonderful. I really love these old glasses but the most important thing is the talent u have in the back of the camera. The movie has his own spirit and pulsation witch is achieved with the touching images, great background music and a right edit. Congratulation again.

Great movie. Great lenses. Great work. Bravo!

Excellent work Philip. It played as a mini doc and I agree, maybe your best work to date.
Cheers.

The cinematography is insane!! that’s some hell of a glass!!
next stop for Mr Bloom….Hollywood!

*&^%&^%^ (sensored), now that’s amazing… what did you do color wise?

Wow! My favorite video guy covering my favorite hobby. Wonderful work Phil. When are you going to do a class on the US East Caost? Cheers!

I can’t believe that’s the 7D, so beautiful. Outstanding grading work, was it MBL? I was skeptical when I first saw the 7D PL mount, thought the Canon lenses probably had a very similar quality. I guess I couldn’t be more wrong.

Philip, earlier you mentioned you are doing the sharpening in post. Are you using the default FCP Sharpen tools? Are you also doing any denoising?

Cheers.

Really nice work using the Hotrod Cameras PL7D Philip.

Glad that Ilya and I could contribute to something you shot!
