When he talked about the feeling you get when you see the sun rising over the landscaps while you're running and you suddenly get a boost and start runing faster... Oh, so true. It's one of the best feelings in the world.
Good short film! Generally I am not a fan of interviews in films, but the lighting was great, and overall you did a superb job. Your VM pro did very well too. Furthermore, your brother has exactly the same gestures and expressions as you ^^
I came from your other channel DSLRguide to see this film. Your brother did a great job of explaining running from his point of view. The cinematography, music and editing were all very well done! Hello from New York City :-)
very enjoyable Simon, I'm just about to venture into the world of film making, (purchased a Sony NEX-FS100) your guides and these videos have been very useful.
I ran a 5k everyday for 6 months. Well, not everyday was the same distance, but I just could not take a day off. I'd run until I could not walk normally. Eventually, running was the only activity that brought me joy. The physical pain drowned out the mental. I had to do it.
I was training for a tough mudder event in Lake Tahoe California. I felt I wasn't getting anywhere in life and I needed to achieve something more than just going to work. I was kind of angry in the beginning but then it became a habit. Like he said in the video, there is just something about moving quickly through some trees that just can't compare do anything else.
Nicely done! I had to watch it twice, though. I was paying so much attention to the video and your editing that I didn't listen to a word your bother said! :P
Cool! I really love how this was shot. The handheld shots very much made the running scenes a touch more stylized giving it realism, than if you were to shoot those scenes on a tripod or slider, capturing the adrenaline your brother may have had while running in a way. Beautifully done! Or am i just over analyzing those shots, lol. More aspiring film makers should be like you! Exploring more than just making fictional films, but also diving into other types of film like documentary.
This video was really well produced! I loved the story (I love to run) and the aesthetics were great. One thing I noticed that I wanted to ask: did you re-record the footsteps etc. in post-production or was that audio actually caught on location?
Great cinematic feel to it Simon, but I was wondering what was your intention to leave a little bit of unusual room above the head of the interviewee. It felt just a little bit off the natural horizon to me. Also, I noticed a trophy and other rewards, I guess, in the intentionally, I guess again, opened closet in the back. I think it would pronounce the "Achievement" message if a couple of 150w spot lights were thrown at them. You know, lighting background properly is as important as the foreground in interviews. Sorry, I really like throwing technical points since I know you know what you're doing. Anyways, keep up learning and practicing.
simon how do you get that smooth slo mo at 24fps, do you use the twixtor plugin or do you just film at 720p 60fps and slow it down in post. It would be really good if you could have a dedicated video about this in dslr guide :)
A very well produced short documentary with beautiful cinematography. The pacing was ideal and really set the appropriate mood and tone of the film. HOWEVER, my only criticism is the jump cut near the end of the film. It was the only visible jump cut of the film and it really took away from the quality of the film. This could of been fixed by simply editing in some additional b-roll to hide the jump cut visually. Other then that, everything as far as I am concerned seems nearly flawless.
cadevisuals T3i? Amazing! I just got my hands on a T5i and I'm wondering about Magic Lantern and Cinestyle. Do you have to install on yours? Are they necessary or just something cool to have? Thanks..
I'm a colorblind videographer, and I was wondering how you go about getting that type of color correction that is in the very first 5 seconds of this video. Is there a word to describe this type of color correction?
It's fairly standard to be honest, just adjusting the levels so that it has more contrast. I think most of the look was in camera, from the natural lighting in the evening. (I'm going to do a whole video about color correction on my other channel which might help, too)
hello cade, i have a small question. How do you maintain your focus on the subject while its moving , if using an STM lens the focus might maintain. But how do you do that on a 50mm 1.8 canon prime lens ? Do i need a Follow focus ? I use a 5d mark iii with the 50mm ! cadevisuals DSLRguide
+Nicholas Jude the 50mm isn't the best lens for this kind of filming. It has a depth of field that is too shallow. Ideally, you would want to use a UWA lens (like a 16mm or 24mm) because those have a pretty large DOF. If you must shoot with a 50mm though, stop down as much as possible. You should be able to maintain focus at f/5.6 or f/8 pretty easily but you'll still have to focus though. Practice doing it on still subjects, then on people on the streets and then you'll be somewhat prepared if you're going to be shooting this type of video. I shot some photos for a charity that I volunteer to using a vintage 50mm f/1.8 and it's been probably the best thing I could've done - being vintage, it was all manual so I had to focus manually on a bunch of kids that were running around the room which, while wasn't an easy task and ended in my focus grip part (it's a rubbery material) to stretch enough to make me buy a new lens, made my focusing skills that much better :)
Andrei Martalog Thanks a ton ! .... I always like using primes actually , and with using a steadicam can u actually use the autofocus locked on to get some running shots ? I heard that the autofocus increases exposure ! Since I can't pull focus all the time . I need something to maintain shallow Dof and focus on the subject to get the cinematic feel !
Nicholas Jude You could use the autofocus. I'm not sure how good the 5D's autofocus is in video but you can always try it out. Ideally, you would have a focus puller to pull focus for you if you wanted a shallow DOF since autofocus isn't perfect especially when shooting wide open. People usually stop down (f/8 is usually a sweet spot but you could go to f/11) and use a wide angle lens (somewhere in the 16-24 range - the Rokinon 14/16mm comes in mind) when shooting this sort of stuff and then kinda measure the distance between them and the subject and set the focus at that and try to keep that distance. This way, you don't have to be exact because you'll have a wider DOF so things will mainly stay in focus. But I guess if you really want to try, go out and shoot some tests using the autofocus :)
The commentary was continuous without any pause - it got irritating halfway through. There should have been several pauses after he speaks, where all you see is him running and the score playing. Silence is golden, and it would have made a more dramatic film.
I feel like the music is not right for the movie...running is about energy, is about pushing yourself over the limit and...the music was calm, sleepy calm...like sad...I get that Dan wasn't the most enthusiastic in the speech, but a more energetic music would have helped, other than that the short film is good, but some more sharp cuts would have made it even more dynamic...nevermind, it's good for a young director :)
When he talked about the feeling you get when you see the sun rising over the landscaps while you're running and you suddenly get a boost and start runing faster... Oh, so true. It's one of the best feelings in the world.
I like this kind of films, simple, colorful, direct to the point.
Good short film! Generally I am not a fan of interviews in films, but the lighting was great, and overall you did a superb job. Your VM pro did very well too. Furthermore, your brother has exactly the same gestures and expressions as you ^^
Thanks man, that's awesome to hear. Haha!
As a runner, this film connected with me. Thanks for the emotion.
Well, I guess you can say this was made on the run
Great film and very well edited and shot. You have a real knack for intelligent, narrative film making. Good luck with your future projects.
Correre, to run, Italian, smart thinking, I like it.
great film. you really inspired my to do something similar... that would be my first serious film
Mr. Cade has a distinct style, a signature of telling a story.
Damn this is beautiful! Shout out to r/running for sending me here! :)
The italian touch is really cool
Excellent work Simon! Amazing to see what's possible with the T3i in capable hands.
Exceptional work!! Beautifully shot and great story telling.
I came from your other channel DSLRguide to see this film. Your brother did a great job of explaining running from his point of view. The cinematography, music and editing were all very well done! Hello from New York City :-)
That is one beautiful and inspiring film!
I think this is your best video. Really great cinematography and powerful story.
Greetings fro Bogotá, Colombia.
I was watching this to observe shots, and it actually inspired me to start running again, lol great job
Awesome! that's so encouraging, thanks Austin!
great work mate.!! thanks for sharing your work.
Nice documentary work and really nice shots of landscapes. Enjoy this video. Good Job)
very enjoyable Simon, I'm just about to venture into the world of film making, (purchased a Sony NEX-FS100) your guides and these videos have been very useful.
Really nicely shot and lit, lovely pacing to it too.
Inspiring and authentic. Love it so much! Great job Simon.
Future Superstar! Great work.
Lovely work Simon! Really outstanding piece, in my opinion.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work guys. My best regards
Very, very good film. Every runner relates.
Running and cross country are extremely under appreciated.
Beautifully shot!
Hey dude this is awesome. Youre a big inspiration to me man. As a beginner filmmaker I really look up to you. Great job man and keep the vids coming!
Well done Cade & co!
Great stuff! I might just do the same with my own brother!
Well done, very inspiring.
Great work Simon!
Well put together. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for all the vids
Wow really great visuals
Parliament hill is the Wembley of xc! Great video!
That XC looks like Inter-counties at Birmingham? Great to see a Cambridge and Coleridge runner, great movie also
Really enjoyed this Simon!
I love running.
Stupendo! proprio un bel video ;)
I ran a 5k everyday for 6 months. Well, not everyday was the same distance, but I just could not take a day off. I'd run until I could not walk normally. Eventually, running was the only activity that brought me joy. The physical pain drowned out the mental. I had to do it.
Damn I wish I had that mind set to push myself, I need to run more.
I was training for a tough mudder event in Lake Tahoe California. I felt I wasn't getting anywhere in life and I needed to achieve something more than just going to work. I was kind of angry in the beginning but then it became a habit. Like he said in the video, there is just something about moving quickly through some trees that just can't compare do anything else.
This is brilliant, great camera work and very good audio! I enjoyed it :D
Thanks so much!
Great video Simon. What lenses and other equipments did you use? Can you help us?
This is beautiful! How is it I haven't watched this before?
It was amazing, I have watched three times.
where can find this
Nicely done! I had to watch it twice, though. I was paying so much attention to the video and your editing that I didn't listen to a word your bother said! :P
really like this, it's got a nice vibe to it, i want to make these sort of things too
Cool! I really love how this was shot. The handheld shots very much made the running scenes a touch more stylized giving it realism, than if you were to shoot those scenes on a tripod or slider, capturing the adrenaline your brother may have had while running in a way. Beautifully done! Or am i just over analyzing those shots, lol. More aspiring film makers should be like you! Exploring more than just making fictional films, but also diving into other types of film like documentary.
Thanks! It's up to you how you interpret it, and I think it's always good to analyse other peoples work, so go for it!
The last 30 seconds felt a bit strange but other than that beautiful short, really enjoyed it.
This video was really well produced! I loved the story (I love to run) and the aesthetics were great. One thing I noticed that I wanted to ask: did you re-record the footsteps etc. in post-production or was that audio actually caught on location?
Cheers man. (high five for running) The footsteps were added in post, you must have good ears to notice that!
cadevisuals haha yeah I can tell the footstep were reproduce too.
all sounds except for voice are usually reproduce, A.K.A foley in post.
Really like your work!
Very nice!
1:11 - 1:30
I feel you! I take the liberty of going for a walk daily b/c I enjoy being mobile.
man your grading is on point!
Great work.
Nice!!...well done!!!
+Simon Cade, nice work!

Great work! I thought the cinematography was beautiful. Where was it shot?
Nice! What made you calling this piece "Correre"?
very good work!
Good job- nice video. Maybe I would play the last b-roll scene a little bit later to cover the jump cut.
Thanks! That's cool, I like the jump cut - there are lots of ways to do things!
simon how do you get that smooth slo mo at 24fps, do you use the twixtor plugin or do you just film at 720p 60fps and slow it down in post. It would be really good if you could have a dedicated video about this in dslr guide :)
is it pan movement from 2:16 or dolly?
that's a pan
Hi Simon, how do you do those smooth slow motion with 24fps?
nice film !
Great Movie Simon! I was wondering what Kind of Lens did you use to get those really close shots, like from your brothers eyes?
thanks! I believe it was just the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8
What grear used?
A very well produced short documentary with beautiful cinematography. The pacing was ideal and really set the appropriate mood and tone of the film. HOWEVER, my only criticism is the jump cut near the end of the film. It was the only visible jump cut of the film and it really took away from the quality of the film. This could of been fixed by simply editing in some additional b-roll to hide the jump cut visually. Other then that, everything as far as I am concerned seems nearly flawless.
Thank you for your kind words! I really liked the jump cut, but totally understand that it's not for everyone!
Hi Simon, I know you record with a T3i, what were your camera settings for the slow motion shot starting around 1:17 in terms of FPS and Resolution?
CJ Sutton 60fps 720p
cadevisuals Did you re size the clip to 1080p to get the 1080 copy then?
+Eddy Wally ;) when he exports it it will be in 1080 but the clip will have the quality of 720
great film
How did you get those kinda star looking lens flares from the cars was it a filter or the lens, or post production?
all natural, no filters!
Very well done. The jump cut was a bit out of place, but on the whole - excellent!
I like the fact that the title is in italian
Way to go, Cade! You've done a great job! (Could I know what camera you used to film this?)
thanks! it was shot on a Canon T3i
cadevisuals T3i? Amazing! I just got my hands on a T5i and I'm wondering about Magic Lantern and Cinestyle. Do you have to install on yours? Are they necessary or just something cool to have? Thanks..
definitely worth having both of them, very useful!
Why the title is "Correre", in italian? :)
Perché fa figo 💚
Vero :D
SAVA Production Google Translate maybe?
Well done! ;)
Equip used?!? pls!

cadevisuals Awesome, you will do the color correction video on your main channel?
That's right!
What division is your college?
I have Samsung NX210. Can I try filming with it?
of course!
Shot on a t3i! Wow...

what is the title of the story
Glidecam or rhino steady would have been great for this :D
NICE!!!
hey cade what kinda camera did you use ?
Canon t3i I guess
what kinda lens do you think did the shots
Probably his 17-50 tamron
What's your 5k time? Just wondering..
+Grant Wilson my PB was about 20mins ...
+willysmitty I'm 17 ans run 5K in 18:32 ;) ^^ and 10K in 38:29
+willysmitty I'm 17 ans run 5K in 18:32 ;) ^^ and 10K in 38:29
+willysmitty im 13 and my pb is 20min
Your brother is so cute!
Why u use an ITALIAN title??
simon, "To run" is spelled Currere, not correre
The commentary was continuous without any pause - it got irritating halfway through. There should have been several pauses after he speaks, where all you see is him running and the score playing. Silence is golden, and it would have made a more dramatic film.
There was a lot of nice elements in this production but the ending was a little bit of a let down. A jump cut and a half sentence ending.
i think this was really good! very inspirational but i have to agree with the jump cut! ouch
Good foley.
why the word in italian?
Probably to make it sound more artistic and less descriptive. Not subtle enough in my opinion (though I'm impressed with the film).
Great film, the guy´s eyes seem John Lennon´s.
Only runners can explain it XD why they like running.. non runners just don't get it..
I feel like the music is not right for the movie...running is about energy, is about pushing yourself over the limit and...the music was calm, sleepy calm...like sad...I get that Dan wasn't the most enthusiastic in the speech, but a more energetic music would have helped, other than that the short film is good, but some more sharp cuts would have made it even more dynamic...nevermind, it's good for a young director :)
