How to shoot a fast car with a DSLR

Martin Steinmann takes us behind the scene to this nicely filmed photoshoot made with a Canon EOS 550D, a Glidetrack and a Gyros KS-6.

Some time ago I was invited to shoot a „Behind the Scenes“. Knowing that things would be a bit rough, I asked myself: should I bring my trusted HV30 or give my daughter’s 550D a chance? I did not regret my decision. Filmed and edited using Canon 550D (T2i) and Final Cut Pro

Shooting a Comedy in Japan with a Canon 5D and a 7D

Posted by Pascal Montjovent

I’m just back from shooting in Japan a short fiction called “Igor in Japan”, where Igor is a donkey. It’s a comedy we shot during one week near the village of Komoro, in the Nagano district.

Since it seemed difficult for the production company to rent specific lights and cameras in Japan, we had to bring everything with us from Europe. It had to comply with in-flight weight and measurements regulations, so we opted for the Canon 5D Mark II and the 7D, customized with Marshall monitors and two Chrosziel Follow Focus Systems.

Opposing Views Canon’s 4K Camera

Today Canon showed off an ‘engineering prototype’ of a possible 4K Camera under development, and while they are careful to state that this will probably never see the light of day without extensive rework, the various opinions around the device are heavily polarized.  This was just too interesting to pass up.
