I found it funny that when you were stopped on the street setting up the hood shots, tourists stopped and took pictures of you. I’m sure they had no idea who you were or what you were doing but they thought you must be important movie people or something.

Great video BTW.

Hi Vincent, thanks for all your hard work, I’m as excited as everyone else to actually try this camera out.

It seems my (oldish) computer is freaking out big time trying to play the film, any chance Canon (or Smugmug)can also host a smaller version? The “behind the scenes” video works fine and I could enjoy the (short!) 5D2 clips it featured.

You did a fabulous job. The camera is just as fabulous. So is your team. I pre-ordered the camera this morning after viewing your blog last night. These videos are the icing on my cake. Very exciting. Thanks. Unbelievable for lack of experience and time that this all looks so incredibly gorgeous and professional. Very cinematic, not an ounce of video look.

Love this, great work!

The scene where you had the 5DII suction cupped to the outside of the SUV (to get the skid shot) is awesome. Looking at how grainy that scene is (shot on the XH-A1) vs how clean the results from the 5DII are - man, night and day difference.

Thanks for the behind the scenes! They are awesome and I always learn more from the behind the scenes shots.

The behind the scenes were very inspirational. Glad to see the list of lenses used on the main video, and would be quite interested to learn more about any techniques you may have used to overcome limitations with the camera.

I think you’ve created something ground-breaking with the advent of video in dSLR and will go down as being one of those who’ve shaken things up.

Also, being a longtime user of Smugmug (pro acct), it’s fantastic to see them be so generous in their support.

It’s photographers, companies, and groups such as these that have participated in your project that push the boundaries and make us all more inspired to learn, develop, and further our skills.

I believe many of us would love to see more of the technical side of things in future endeavors you may pursue (similar to what Chase Jarvis has been doing).

Andy, go to the dpreview.com forums. A lot of help there for your questions.

btw… this camera is second to only the canon 1ds series, the highest camera line in canon and it doesn’t have video yet.

Also, teh body is just the initial investiment, you will soon learn about L lens which are not cheap at all, atleast over 1K for the cheapest L.

For those of you who haven’t read Vincent’s article, “The Cloud is Falling,” do it now. What you’re witnessing with the 5D MkII videos is a perfect and direct example of what Vincent addresses in his writing. *Any* of you could have put this production together and generated this amount of publicity. True, not everyone has access to pre-production equipment (and as a Canon ambassador, Vincent is paid to represent Canon), but the idea is the same- use the tools you have available to create your own media, reach new audiences and perhaps reach new markets for your work.

Is it possible to create a video frame by frame with the MarkII, such as needed for animation work (e.g. claymation)?
Many thanks.

Thanks Citidon, The next question that I have is, I know that you can purchase the body with a lens, is this “kit” an appropriate investment, or, should I just purchase the body, and another separate lens?

Second (or third) question is while shooting a movie, is it possible to vary the aperture ie go from 1.2 to 16 while the camera is recording. and if so is it possible to control this via a laptop wireless or wired

Looks like you were using the Kenyon Gyro Stabilizer running down the street (and, I assume, in the helicopter). That seems like it would be an important accessory for handheld filming. What model would you recommend for general use on the 5D? Or is it as simple as choosing by weight?

Vincent,

I really enjoyed this piece and do think it’s just the opening salvo in things to come including a camcorder form factor camera that takes Canon 35mm glass.

I have preordered my 5D MKII.

After reading your blog, the comments, and watching the film and behind the scenes a few times I am wondering what a more realistic budget was.

I know you only layed out $5k USD (2k for da choppa) but if you calculated how much it was to rent all the gear you used I wonder how much more that figure would really be?

Certainly to own it would be huge. 50-100K? maybe?

I do think you can shoot a great movie for somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-10k with the 5D MKII!

hey, you guys need any help on any up coming projects please let me know. I can provide you help carrying your equipment if nothing else. Your teaser flick is awesome. You have talent. My dad is a Wedding photography up north in Toronto. I was completely awed watching that in full resolution. Now it makes me wonder if Canon is going to allow 2k or 4k cinema quality in there Mark IIII Ds versions in the mere future.

Stunning visuals, and from a still camera, cant wait for the chip to advance to a camcorder, But This video was edited in Final Cut, I have edited footage from the Canon Vixia HF11 AVCHD Camcorder and it had to be transcoded to Pro Res, Since Final Cut doesn’t edit native AVCHD. What was your workflow to get from card to edit.

[...] The Web was buzzing a couple of weeks ago when photographer Vincent LaForet spent a weekend making a short, wordless movie using an early Canon 5D Mark II. He hired a couple of models, grabbed a crew, rented a helicopter, pulled together $5,000, and made an absolutely astonishing-looking piece of video. It was hard to find the thing online—Vincent didn’t want to host it on his own site because of the massive bandwidth required to serve it. (Here’s his writeup, and here’s the “making of” video.)

I know that the car-rig mount consists of the following:

Avenger F1000
Avenger F1100
Avenger D200
Manfrotto Magic Arm

The only part I can’t figure out is how Vince connects the outside suction cups to the center one. The two magic arms are attached to the main unit to give it extra support.

Anyone have any ideas what the center head unit is?

[...] Primo video delle 5Dmark II da Vincent Laforet: REVERIE. Massimiliano Farucci | 23/09/2008 Ecco il link del primo video girato da Vincent Laforet, con un modello di preproduzione della 5D mark II: http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=2086 . Il video REVERIE, ospitato sui server della Canon è stato girato con le seguenti lenti EF: FD 7.5mm f/5.6 (converted to EF mount) EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM EF 50mm f/1.2L USM EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM EF 135mm f/2L USM EF 200mm f/1.8L USM EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM EF 500mm f/4L IS USM TS-E 24mm f/3.5L TS-E 45mm f/2.8 Premesso che l’idea di girare video con una reflex non mi convince molto, devo dire che la qualità delle riprese è davvero notevole. Per ulteriori approfondimenti ecco il blog di Laforet.

[...] Check out this behind the scenes video by Vincent Laforet and here’s a link to the final video. It was shot using a pre-production version of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR – in a similar vein to the new Nikon D90. But for me, the question has to be why? Why do you need to have video on a high end DSLR? It cheapens the whole thing in my opinion. I mean if you shoot video, then you use a video camera right? And, if you’re a stills man (or woman), then you’d use a stills camera. I just don’t get it… [...]

You are killing me with these videos Vincent. I want to shoot video with my D-SLR for our wedding and portrait work but the Nikon’s aren’t as good as Canon at the moment for video recording…

Maybe I’ll pick up a Mark II for giggles… Oh and a f/1.2 lens. Jealous about those lenses as well.

Great work Vincent!
