Another good video with the 5DMKII
|
Best 5D2 video I've seen... by far!
|
I saw this when it came out a few weeks back (don't remember where it was posted), and yes, it's truly awesome. Spectaclularly shot and really well done in post.
Overall, a solid "A" quality video. Good show! |
I wonder how long can they promote EF lenses for film making...
... this is an alright clip for sure but once you purchase EF lenses based on videos you've seen you just want to nuke the Nagasaki again. Just an update in firmware to sell lenses or not. T |

Author Anne Lamott once said, “Brickwork can be done as a laborer or as an artisan.” The work is the same, but the process and outcomes vary.

Having seen the reply to a customer from Canon about them not adding any new features to the 5D mk II (because it's a consumer stills camera "which also takes video"), I think it's a bit unfair for Canon to keep posting these professionally produced videos which clearly imply that's what the camera is used for. Then, when the average consumer complains about using the camera for shooting video, and the lack of control they're given, Canon again gives us the, "it's a stills camera" line. So what is it? A camera that's an obvious choice for people who want to shoot these great productions... or a consumer stills camera which also happens to shoot video?

This video has good pictures - and great editing. They repeated the speed change effect a few too many times in a row for my taste, but they've definitely got the chops.

It is indeed one of my favorite videos so far. I'm very impressed to see it now on Canon's site too.
Tho i do agree with Jon, it has just one or two too many speed changes. |

Just because some people can't get over the 5D2's consumer-ish video controls doesn't mean there aren't other people creating high-end work with it by adjusting to its limitation. |

but I do like to see it applied in different ways as it gives me ideas on how to use it... |
In your example, if you owned the car you could drive it through an exciting landscape and have a good-looking passenger next to you, if you so wanted. And, more than likely, apart from paying for the good-looking passenger(!), it wouldn't cost you anything and you wouldn't need any additional equipment to do it.
Canon, on the other hand, is promoting professional video from it's 5D mk II, and then saying "don't expect professional video from this *stills* camera." Julian |
