Regarding the Vimeo link of the wedding shot with 7D, yes it is nice but the whole thing looked fake, like actors and models, nothing “real” about it. It was a 10K production and not so much a wedding.

Hi Ameera, My latest Blu-Ray production was shot on 3 5Dmk2 cameras simultaneously. The shoot was over 4 days with a total of 70 hours of rushes. We used FCP to edit the 1080p 2.5 hour finished production with ease. Storage is now only £50/tb for internal drives so no problem there. storage was approx 1Gb/camera/min of shooting. FCP on a modern Mac handled this with ease.

Regards, Damien.

This all sounds very amazing but what about storage space. I am the editor and have been asked in my capacity whether one should film a feature film using the d5. i am concerned about the usability of this footage in post with regard to file sizes. And what files are they, will they have compatability issues with FCP?

As for the 7D video, I’ve been watching a 4 minute wedding highlights video by a Toronto photographer using two 7D’s.
I think the video results from this camera are quite remarkable, and you can see for yourself here, if it’s ok with Damien…..

Hi Damien,

It’s a new APS-C sensor based camera. 18meg pixels. Half way between 50D and 5D I guess.

Hi David,

I honestly didn’t know there was one. I assume it must be better than the 5Dmk11. What happened to the 6D? I can’t keep up with Canon’s numbering It’s totally crazy.

Have you had a chance to look at the Canon 7D yet? I wondered how you thought it might compare for video and still?

Hi Stuart,

You are ahead of us. We will be putting items from the original and the new DVDs online for download. Each item will have a low price point and the whole collection will be available on disc at a discount. Each DVD will of course be a fraction of the cost of a workshop. All the information needed to shoot the same techniques will be given with nothing held back at all.

However there is nothing quite like being there, shooting the images yourself and having a great collection of portfolio shots. The experience combined with personal feedback throughout a workshop shoot are some of the principal gains for delegates.

I found the bottom one on the main web site and have watched them several times as I find them fasinating. Thanks, I look forward to the releases in the future.

What about a smaller download feature where you show the final shot and then show in video form how it was acheived? Showing off camera flash position, flash power and camera settings, say £1.99 or something to download a small video for those that can’t afford £400 for a days course?
