Beat me by 2 minutes. That creamy DSLR footage is just so damn good.

Indeed it is.. the only flaw is that you're not drunk enough! (But then, that may not have been taped.. rawwr..)

Wow, that is amazing quality! What a great thumbnail too So if I provide jaffa cakes can I expect to see Issy and DFT in London '09 Sift-Up?

IssyKitty is the star in that thumbnail.

Oh Nikon D90. If only you had input audio, didn't overheat, had better video controls, didn't scan line by line and could film for longer.

For now it's all about the Canon 21.1 MP EOS 5D Mark II, but then again it doesn't cost two thousand dollars more. Better yet sell your house and get a RED ONE Camera.

YouDieJoe did a good job editing and working around the D90s faults, the biggest being the the scanning of line by line from top to bottom, so if you move the camera too much you would see the image physically sway side to side (aka rolling shutter). Stationary shots are the best for it.

A work of art...

But- half of my face (with a nervous alternating wink) and No Charms! ???

Why is it that everybody looks completely un-nerdy and cool in this video? I'm going to double promote this during prime-time.

sorry banky. joe gets Best Picture this year.

you did get Best Visual Effects for the flag part, though!

Holy crap DFT and IssyKitty make one good-looking couple.

Damn why couldn't youdiejoe have been at the Vancouver sift up to get some sweet video action of my epic tasting menu?

Seriously though, it is true that everybody looks very cool and un-nerdy in this video. Well done!

Does this qualify me for a SAG card?

Wow. You got some really sweet and candid shots, ydj. Nice job.

Wow.

And hbleusea makes a beautiful half of a beautiful/creepy couple.

I kid blankfist, I kid. With love!

Very nice editing, Mr. DieJoe.

True, true. I do mention the superior of ydj's cam in my vid and also here. My cam needs lots and lots of light else it looks terrible - so I had to crank the gain. Excuses aside, I bow to ydj for his excellent cam and his cam skills.

great video youdiejoe! good times. good beer. good nite.

We'd love to. Set it up.

I work as videographer, I can't help it. We were considering the DSLRs for a corporate project and did an extensive field research project on them.

Why are you cross-posting your CNET user reviews in this thread?


I found his succinct review extremely helpful, actually. I had been considering the D90 and had no idea of its limitations.

Nobody looks anything like I imagined; except for youdiejoe, of course, but he's got his face in his avatar.

Always visualized Issy as latina because of the name, Isobel, even though I know that's the cat's name and not hers.

Lucky was always older in my mind and blankfist was younger.

I might even be tempted to attend a NYC gathering even though I hate all of you. (I kid, of course)

Very nice to see all the folks are just as charming as I imagined. Apart from seeing Sift veterans on video rather than good old pictures, it was definitely satisfying to be able to put more names to faces (poolcleaner, volomptuous, darkrowan), too. Also, great props to youdiejoe for the lovely Avalanches background and the overall pleasant sift.

Last but not least, I seriously gotta commend blankfist on his blending in techniques. I never saw such a nice, well behaved chronic serial rapist/public masturbator in my life.

nice i like issy kittys face, nice filming as well should all come to uk

you're a great bunch! good video, ydj. blankfist, you look nothing like stanley. actually, you and dft are very alike, imo (you 2 related or something;) lucky, you kid you! you look so young - always imagined you older (and wiser)

I always pictured IssyKitty as a cat with a tiara...

Great video. I'm a big fan of the tiny depth of field.

I'm so impressed! I love everything about this, especially the great music choice! *hugs*

DSLR makes everybody and everything look cool

If that's the case, someone needs to invent DSLR mirrors. I sure could use one.

Nice vid, folks. Well composed and presented.

Awesome Job, great editing and the musical added touch!
Thanks for letting us join you vicariously through film...

Awesome job, ydj. The music was the perfect touch. Gave it a '70s feel. I half-expected to see you all on a lighted dance floor and doing lines of cocaine. Or maybe you did.

YouDieJoe and DarkRowan looked to me like they looked in Nov 2007.

I always imagined IssyKitty to be Korean because she submits "how to cook Korean food" instructional videos.

I always picture lucky760 as being taller and more muscular.

I'd always thought volumptuous was an overweight woman.

I've seen pics of blankfist (in wanted photos at the post office), so he and hbleusea looked as advertised.

DFT was the biggest unknown to me. Knowing he is a musician, I guess I figured he'd have long hair, a 5 o'clock shadow, and wear an unbuttoned flannel shirt with a black rock & roll t-shirt underneath and torn up jeans and a pair of black Converse low-tops.

wow, must know the secrets behind that DSLR camera settings. What does DSLR stand for anyway?

Just Amazing quality, goddamn.

this video and this meetup looked phenomenal. great job all around.

I have to say, a great effort here. Nice bit of AUSTRALIAN music to it too (The Avalanches... oh yeah baby). The DOF is superb and what gives this the real professional feel, and you are a deft hand at capturing nice little moments. Great editing too.

Huzzah for making the sifters look way cool.

I'm SO there for the next one. Looks like fun!

Nice vid too...

wow I gotta get me one of those cameras too. That vancouver sift-up link seems dead. nerdy is the new trendy!

Comment of the year already!

That was really beautiful. Thanks.

Figured I should jump in here and say thanks to everyone for their compliments, Thank you.

The video fell together nice and easy, I cut it and added music in about an hour.

The camera is a Nikon D90 for those interested and is a fantastic DSLR still camera and good as a video gathering device, takes lots of caveats to make video look good, so I certainly understand Farhad2000 reluctance to endorse it as a video camera. It shoots video at 720P @ 24fps and that along with a lens that has a short focal length gives it that warm film feel.

Already looking forward to next years sift-up, and by the way If anyone wants to send along a plane ticket (round trip) to London I would be glad to shoot for their up coming sift-up as well

wait are you saying that the people who put stuff on this site are real people!?

I'd hardly call the atmosphere here "friendly". I've tried to balance out the political playing field, because I think all the cursing and swearing and personal attacks tend to alienate those who would otherwise join this site. It really is a shame.

Nice video. Issy is hot!

What is this madness!? Everyone knows normal people don't use the internet.

Who are these incredibly attractive actors you have hired to pretend to be you!?

Way better than the other video but then again with such a good camera and some nice editing you can even make a 10 hour conversation about chogie look like a classy ad for beer.

I guess if I attended, my skin would knock the white balance to shit, since I'm in the second month of winter here up in the High North.

Damnit. I'm in SoCal but I didn't know about this until I saw the video. I guess a siftup is inherently self-selecting... if I'm not here often enough to see the announcement, I don't deserve to attend. Next time!
