I mentioned the tiltshift app before in my blog, they have an online version, an AIR application version and a iPhone version... here is some recent use.

I took my son in for a bi monthly hair cut at the awesome old school shop "Sweeny Todd's Barbershop" and had my camera at my side, it was about 4PM and the light was perfectly falling into the shop, so I asked Todd (the owner) if I could take some pics. Here is some of what I got...(there are more photos after the break)

Shooting between takes, the model was getting into position during a rope bondage shoot . I'm starting to get the feel for the 7D. I've started diving into the use of color profiles. This is also my first time using color grading in my video. All shot hand held, slow motion was shot at 720p60 and conformed down to 24 in Cinema Tools, the rest was shot 1080p24 and 1080p30.

The music is Night People - Gently Johnny (edited)

Camera: Canon EOS 7D w/ super flat color profile
Lens: Canon 50mm f/1.8
Editing: Final Cut Pro
Color Grading: Apple Color

Cripes, so. much. smoke.

Heart goes out to those families who have lost loved ones to the fires here in the San Gabriel valley.
