New Linear Tracking Rig!

So the last piece of my linear tracking system is finally here! Its going to bring an extra bit of production value to our productions. A slow tracking shot in, a reveal of the rings, tracking shots into hidden cuts etc.

5D in action

I have pulled a few clips from the 5D Mark II, just so show what it has done in a Bar Mitzvah environment. The shots were taken last night and were quickly thrown together in a timeline. They were not yet color graded in any way, they also were not edited creatively, the shots were simply placed in a row so that I could show a few people what the quality of the camera looks like. There is only 5D shots here, there are no shots from the other camera that was used that night.

Please disregard sound. Sound was recorded elsewhere, and was not mixed in for this footage. This sound comes from the on camera mic, which is lacking in most respects. DVD quality sound was recorded through other means on other equipment and cards.

Let me know in the comments what you think!

All the shots in the above video were shot hand held, with a mono-pod attached but not supported by the ground.
