Cherry Blossom Girl: Canon 5dmkII 25p
Please read my blog here for more info.
Music is Air: Cherry Blossom Girl, Hope Sandoval Version
Cherry Blossom Girl: Canon 5dmkII 25p from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.
Whilst in the US recording a new show for Zacuto I took my 5d and the new Zacuto “Tactical Shooter” to the mean streets of Chicago for the “60th Annual Old Town Art Fair”.
Last time I shot a short on the 5d was for “Sofia’s People” with just one 50mm lens. This time I took a whole bag of lenses to try out some new stuff. Including a Shift Tilt 24mm Canon f3.5, an IS 70-200mm and a few others.

February 22, 2010 at 13:56it is hard to see on a 13 laptop, but it looks like you have added grain to the second version.
Am I right?

July 2, 2009 at 03:19Hello, I’m new to film/photography..been told I have an eye. I some how stumbled on your website and do i have so many questions. First off, which may sound really dumb, though remember I’m new.. The movies in which you shot, Cherry Blossom Girl, Sofia..this was all done with DSLR? Canon 5dmk2 Not a actuall HD Vid cam or film Cam???
pbloom
July 2, 2009 at 05:26yes the Canon 5dmkII has a video mode!

Question about the screen: it looks like cinema size, not 16:9 or other. I guess that it is made in FCP?
thank u

Another beautiful piece, I really dig these portrait films, they always prove quite captivating. I’d love to have a go myself, just not sure I have the people skills yet! I’m investing in a 35mm adapter next week having been itching to try one out since seeing your work on Vimeo, hopefully the results will be worth sharing!

June 19, 2009 at 22:56Jonny, just be friendly and upfront and people are generally cool. Nobody said no to me in Chicago. It was a dream! i have a making of coming up where you can hear my chat to them…

June 19, 2009 at 06:19Thanks for sharing once again.
Beautiful work!

June 19, 2009 at 01:52This piece has a lot of heart. It also has a vintage feel, I’m not sure it’s the music or the 25p, but I feel like I’m watching something from years ago?
Thanks buddy,
Steve

June 18, 2009 at 23:58Love the Intimacy of the shots. Catching us humans, doing what we do, is becoming very addictive to watch.
Is working with the Mark 2 becoming easier?
I am running FCE and not sure what my options are with the Mark2. I don’t have compressor and haven’t researched it yet.
Wish Canon would make it easier… but I’m relatively new at this, hope I’ll learn.
pbloom
June 19, 2009 at 16:38it’s easier due to manual controls. But workflow still a bitch. You should use MPEGSTREAMCLIP to convert to pro res to edit with
Gerard Henninger
June 19, 2009 at 23:42Why MPEG Streamclip and not Compressor?
pbloom
June 20, 2009 at 00:01MUCH faster
Gerard Henninger
June 20, 2009 at 00:35Same quality? (colorwise?)
Gerard Henninger
June 18, 2009 at 21:16Great stuff again Philp, I like it even more than Sophia’s people.
Who’s that famous looking guy at 2:36?

June 20, 2009 at 07:30Hi Philip, nice clip and editing! The looks of the people, bringing one from scene to scene
but sometimes a bit to videolike shaky/handheld for my liking…
I just tried an 28-135 canon lens with IS imagestabilizer wow it works like a charm. Handhelding gets so much softer steadycamlike.You should try one of those
Salut Matthias
