The Canon5DmkII is truly amazing - Here is a broadcast example.
I had the Canon5DmkII for a while and although I had shot a few tests, I hadn't really made anything that I could post properly.
As you might know, I edit for BBC & IMG on the coverage of the Snooker & Darts here in the UK and thought this would be an ideal opportunity to give the Canon a good outing.
I have to say I was amazed at the results. Colin Nuttall who is one of the best cameramen I work with got some amazing shots. Gorden Lugrin assisted and Jason Woodward held it all together by directing. All edited in FCP, I used some custom droplets to convert the 5D files into PAL land.
Here is the Opener that aired at 8pm on the Sunday of the final on BBC2. View on Vimeo for full HD version.
The Canon and Nikons with proper glass and capable hands really produces some remarkable images. I am a fan of Philip Bloom's work and Tom Guilmette up in Boston - both on vimeo - some great talent on both sides of the pond!
An often quickly written and random series of discoveries, thoughts, testing & fun in the world of broadcast editing and the development of Final Cut Pro plugins.
