Dear friends

Here is a new clip I am responsible for, shot with the Canon 7d. The video will be presented at National Geographic mega stores, exhibitions, ext

Full production notes coming soon.

It was all about simplicity and fun!

Thank you for watching!

Always difficult to judge IQ on an online clip, but you've certainly done an excellent job Johnnie, lovely piece. Looks like not the easiest of shoots to piece together either!

Great work Johnnie,

Did you have any moire or aliasing issues with the fine fabric on the bags? The video looks pretty clean.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what rig are you using with your Canon 7D?

I look forward to the production notes! :-)

Generally I don't care for this style of commercial, I'm just not into watching that sort of dancing. But having said that I watched the entire video, although it felt a little slow a few times, you presented the products in a fun and interesting way which held my attention.

I especially like how you went from bright sunny day to a rainy day. I thought the rain looked a little odd but it was effective and when you see how you did it, very creative. Plus it looked liked everyone was having fun.

What I think is amazing about your video is how much you accomplished with such a small crew and little equipment, in an uncontrolled public space.

Pulling that together the way you did is really quite an accomplishment. Congratulations on a job well done.
