Here’s the teaser from Continuum, a web series that I worked on earlier this year. We shot it on the Canon 7D.
Exciting project! For updates and information, check out the Continuum Facebook page.

“Hope Lights” – Amazing Canon 7D Video
The Canon 7D is a great camera, but at the end of the day, it’s all about writing, acting, pacing, shooting, editing — bringing all those pieces together to create an emotional, compelling story. This short, called “Hope Lights” does that. Yes, it was shot on the 7D, but more than that, it tells a great story!
Well done!

“City of Lakes” – Shot with Canon 5D and 7D
I continue to be amazed at the quality of visual imagery produced by these new HDSLR cameras — Canon 7D and Canon 5D Mark II. Below is another video I came across today that so well illustrates what these cameras can do.
Also announced this week, the season finale of “House” (which airs on May 17th) was shot entirely on the Canon 5D Mark II.

A stormy wedding – It’s all about timing
I came across this video this morning, and it’s quite beautiful. A storm was encroaching on this wedding day, and the cameraman grabbed his gear and took advantage of the coming storm.
The photography is just beautiful. The contrast of the the bride’s white gown against the backdrop of the storm is just amazing! Beautiful! Very surreal.
I’m not sure, however, that I would want my wedding day associated with “stormy”. :)

“Push Pull” – Another amazing video on the Canon 7D
I came across this video a couple days ago. Beautiful work!
It was shot on two Canon 7Ds and a Canon 5D. It was edited in Premiere with some color correction in After Effects. Music is pretty amazing as well.

Canon 7D Corporate Video for Embrace Home Loans
We finally finished our first corporate video using the Canon 7D as our high definition acquisition camera. I’m really impressed at what this camera can do. It’s phenomenal in low light, and the depth of field is sick! I’m really please with this camera, and what it can do.
There are a few quirks you have to work through, compared to my standard issue HVX-200, like manual exposure settings, audio sync, no zebras, transcoding to ProRes LT, and other little things. But once the workflow is laid out and practiced a few times, you can do some amazing things with this camera.
The lens that comes with the camera is okay, not too fast (f/4 I think). I upgraded to some nicer, faster lenses:
- Canon 50mm, f/1.4
- Canon 85mm, f/1.8
- Tamron 17-50mm, f/2.8
These lenses are very fast, and can shoot in really low light. Beautiful stuff!
Here’s our first of three customer videos for Embrace Home Loans that we shot in Racine, Wisconsin:

First Canon 7D almost ready to post, but until then…
We’re days away from posting our first Canon 7D corporate piece. I’m pretty excited about it. It has definitely been an amazing experience. I’ve already learned so much, even on our second shoot.
This new generation of DSLR cameras with HD video are definitely a game-changer for producers, just like DV was a few years ago.
I came across another stunningly beautiful video shot on the 7D. Great stuff.
