This really a pretty amazing video to be shot on a Digital SLR. In the bio, the filmmakers wrote:

the skinny:
// one cinematographer
// two Canon 7D cams
// four lenses; 50 f1.2, 24 f1.4, 100 macro f2.8, 70-200 f4 non-IS
// one tripod, one monopod, one cinevate pegasus heavy lifter (slider)
// audio was through a tascam and zoom h4n paired with sennheiser ew g2 wireless lavs
//no external lighting was utilized in any of the shots in the final piece. everything was working with what was there.

It’s the last statement that gets me: “no external lighting”. That’s amazing! To have such beauty and quality without tons of lighting gear is truly amazing. That is probably the most appealing aspect of this DSLR footage.

I’m growing more and more fascinated by this DSLR video era that’s coming of age. First, it was the Canon 5D Mark II, but recently, Canon released a more video-friendly Canon 7D that really is quite amazing in low-light.

I’ve created a new blog category called 7D, and I will be posting the videos I find along the way that are shot with this camera or it’s big brother, the Canon 5D, Mark II.

Here’s a music video that was shot with the 7D on a steadicam in one single take. That alone is amazing!
