NX5U in X Games Commercials
 

If you're watching the X Games, you'll probably see a few Ford "Octane Academy" commercials featuring their athletes (Tanner Foust, Brian Deegan) and some action shots. Several of the action clips were my work, shot with a Sony NX5U at 720p60. It's proving to be a very good camera for my uses.

Yeah did catch that, great work man!

They have the ad on YouTube now. The NX5U shots are Tanner Foust's Rockstar Fiesta Rallycross car (except the on-car, which is a GoPro) and Brian Deegan - all the truck racing. (Since I shoot at 60fps they made use of several slo-mo shots.)

Great looking stuff. On a side note, I have a two camera shoot tomorrow and, as DP, am tasked with matching up my NX5U with a HVX200. It's been a while since I used a 200 but this process proved one thing to me, that the NX5U is light years better all around than a HVX200. The advantages of P2 over AVCHD do NOT justify choosing the 200 over the NX5.
