Post the things you get up to with a 5dmkII - in photos

Thought you could all have a bit of fun at my expense and see just how stupid I look sometimes when filming out and about with a 5dmkII. These snaps were taken of me when I was unawares by my collegue during a recent trip to Bangladesh for the charity Oxfam.

It would be great to see what the rest of you look like when out shooting so why don't you post some pix of yourselves here too!

This was entry I entered for theDVChallenge.com contests sponsored here on this site. Except for previously clips at beginning, all shot with the 5DII

I shot double system through an ENG44 to a HiMD Mini disk recorder. I also fed the camera off the Eng44, hoping it would be usable. In the end, some of the clip with sound were fine, but others had a whine, associated, I assume with mixer feeding through my Beachtek.


I subbed in many sound clips, but you will hear a few clips I just didn't get to replace particularly in the first doorway entry scene. Like Dan Chung, I eagerly await the new Beachtek made specifically for the 5D.

Oh, for awhile there, I thought that WAS Chris.

Another shameless self-portrait: full-frame and cropped. My wife is convinced that she can see me anyway:-)

Here am I on a 5D shoot last Thursday. The guy running next to me is my focus-puller (using a whip). I was mainly using a 70-200 f2.8 L lens. The motorcycle we're shooting is the world fastest electric bike (150mph) that is gonna be released later this year.

Peer,

There's a lot off falloff - but none in the upper right corner(!) What's the story? I can only assume that it was intentional.

Of course -- my old ex asked me to send some footage and since I don't have anything ready yet, I pulled a frame from the second camera unit, and did a quick & dirty photoshop/color grade on it. I like the flow and the framing though -- all three of us seem quite engaged in the action.
