What's not clear in addition to the picture is actually the digital back attached, that's the Hasselblad 39MP CVF-39
Canon 1D Mark IV with a 35mm f1.4. I like.
This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story. Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
If you like the Canon 1D Mark IV, check out this short film by Vincent Laforet, shot with only available lighting with Mark IV: http://youtube.com/watch?v/48lg59zgQkM
ReplyDeletethere's a story behind this. if you're interested, check out the photo news at my company blog.
The problem is I like all the cameras.
ReplyDeleteThe link no longer works as Canon issued a take down. Even Vincent can't show it in his blog. Poor guy. Anyway, I did a search and was able to see it in Youtube still. I have to say, he is simply a better still photographer. I am not as thrilled as he first shot Reverie using the Canon 5DMKII a year ago.
i knew they requested a take down but the link shoudl still work - it's just for some reason, this doesn't let me paste the link & so I copied it but probably made some typo.
ReplyDeleteanyway, interesting story but not so interesting video. like you said, i think his first was better. but considering this one only used limited lighting, it's still pretty impressive.
Laforet attracted a large audience when he did his presentation for Canon in Photoplus. I only stopped and listened for a short while as the part I listened to was mostly his older works, aerial shots for the New York Times, which he talked about in his prior presentations a year or so ago. I don't know if he ever talked about specifically about Nocturnes or the 1DMKIV experience.
ReplyDeleteI think I was more excited about Reverie not because it was necessarily better, it was more like a first done using a DSLR with 1080p with such finese and production value (Nikon D90 was the first DSLR though at 720p). I wonder why Nikon doesn't go 1080p at least it would look good on spec if not the real video.
