Well, a reenactment, anyway.
I needed video of a Civil War battle for an upcoming short film, so I took my new XF305 to the Olustee Battlefield reenactment in Olustee, FL. The problem was, I had to dress in period garb if I wanted to shoot on the battlefield. Plus, I had to somehow camouflage the 305 if I wanted to bring it on the field. So, I borrowed some Union gear (a bit oversized) and wrapped the 305 in a burlap sack.
I shot the video in Cine F mode at 1080/24P. It is not easy trying to shoot video through a burlap sack! Nor is it fun shooting on a warm Florida afternoon, chasing troops through the woods while wearing a thick wool coat.
I will post a Youtube link to some of the raw video later.
