I love this so much it has convinced me to get a MK2 and start shooting. I hope one day to be able to produce something as beautiful.

Awesome!

Canon should license this footage from you and make a new 5D MK2 advert!!

Did you use any particular picture styes or white balance settings??

Cheers

Thanks Michelle, good tip. I just assume everyone with a mac has Final Cut Pro and everyone with a computer has a mac

It’s important to note that in MPEG Streamclip, the option to xdcam is apparently only available if you also have Final Cut Pro installed.

I found that out after many hours trolling through websites for more info, after going slowly bonkers when I couldn’t find xdcam as a selection!

Philip – your Sofia movie is beautiful. Just the way in which this camera should be used in movie mode!

regards
Michele

Philip, thanks for these posts. I just shot a music video with the 5DMark2 and found some helpful tips here. Take care. I will post my project when complete.

gorgeous film, philip, and beautifully conceptualized too.

Do you have to worry about release forms for projects like this, or can you just go out and shoot folks on the street? Is it enough if you ask if you can take their picture, and they say “sure”? Been wondering about this and hear conflicting things stateside.

Amazing. I was like WOOOOW, a moving brilliant shot. Then another one, until I realized it really was a movie. Great stuff.
