Shot exclusively on the 5D II with the 24-70mm L lens. Motion tracking in the "fishing" sequence was done in After Effects. The object in the original footage was an exercise ball (the blow-up kind that you can sit on). This gave me a fairly large object to track. I then did some correction of the track by editing the "anchor point", "scale" and "rotation" values with keyframes.
Slow Zoom in the "fishing" sequence was faked in post. Colour correction was done in Magic Bullet. We weren't able to get any usable location sound due to a lack of wind protection, (I have since invested in a blimp), so my friend, the musician and audio engineer Greg Seiler, did all sound design from scratch, (check out myspace.com/chainhalo to hear his music).
The string and knot tying sequence is probably a little long. Other than that I pretty happy with the edit. Comments and questions welcome.
