You must have run from place to place to shoot all those icons in an hour and a half!
I learned two things: 1) a monopod is not adequate for video (though the quick setup time would be nice), and 2) with fast cuts of statues to aggressive music, the edit needs aggressive motion. Ideas that come to mind are fast zooms and moving wide stills like Ken Burns on coke. :) Frame skipping for fast motion could work too. With acoustic guitar music and long cuts, moving clouds and blowing leaves would be all the motion needed. I'll be curious to see what you can do with a longer parking validation. :)

Yup, IS was on but I only had a monopod so that's why it's a little shaky. It was part of my challenge. I could only use equipment that we would have in Iraq. This video is being used to persuade the Pentagon and DoD VI of the possibilities of this camera. Since Combat Camera is dual capable (photo and video) this camera is perfect for our mission.

I would think that a great demo would be to use a 50mm lens followed by a 300mm+ lens to show the ability to get up close in low light. (You'd want a tripod though for stability.)
Hey, maybe you didn't have to run around DC. With a long enough lens, you could shoot all those locations from one position. ;)

Yeah, Canon only gave me one lens to try out with the camera so I was happy with what I got but a 300mm would definitely have been nice :) I posted a color corrected version to SmugMug: tylerginter : photos : Canon 5D MK II- powered by SmugMug Looks a little better...
