Nicest looking video shot with 5D Mark II yet!
This is probably going to be all over the blog-globe by the time you read this, but as I write this, no one has written it up yet other than the talented mister Vincent Laforet (who made the film, er, digital with the 5D Mark II). He didn’t color correct or anything post production wise other than edit the footage he says.

I know, no story, but nice visuals and an interesting, if not comprehensive, test of what this creature can do. There are some artifacts and a few weird things, but I won’t judge until I get to shoot some footage myself. All in all, I’m still salivating.
You can watch the behind the scenes video (to see how he works his magic) here:

My favorite part is at 2:47 of the behind the scenes where he shows you how he simulates the TV flicker light for the film. Very clever!

drool drool drool. I’m selling everything.
That video is awesome.
Thanks for blogging it.
Ooooooooooooo pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!
From Mr. Laforet we expected something MUCH LESS WHACKY than this, don’t we???
To show IT was necessary waste so much money/time to do THIS?
And using Bourne’s BG?!!! Gosh …
Give us a break … he’s using his huge name on this market to make his fans scream “YEA! YEA! YEA! I wanna … I wanna!”???
Awful!
Even it was just to show the quality of the material the new 5D can produce.
At the end he listed so many softwares used on pos-production (more money for his pocket from Adobe and Apple???) that make whom works with them think: “Is this camera is really good enough if was necessary to use all those?”.
Mr. Jarvis, to promote the Nikon D90 made a fantastic job of marketing (with a anoying music, I have to admit, but kept you singing for hours!) MAYBE using even more pos-production than Mr. Laforet (his guy definitively is based in 1920′s NY movies), but reach THAT intangible point to make us desire to have something what we trying to get rid off: small DLSRs sensors.
Nope … disapproved.
I know a thunder of criticizes will drop in my head now … but you ask the opinion.
