Kevin MacLeod provides a very good service with his royalty free music, so far I have used his music in all nine of my YouTube videos. I like his "horror" and "soundtrack" music the most.

Very nice video. Might I ask what you used to color the ice cubes ?

Also, thank you for mentioning Kevin LacLeod, thanks to you I have discovered his work and will be sure to use it from now on, absolutely beautiful collection !

Bad to da BONE.... Killer picture quality. Thanks. Do you really like your 135mm F/2.0, I am thinking of buying one for a 7D. I contemplated the 5d MKII but I was told the 7D will focus more accurately. Have any ideas or recommendations that you'd like to share. Again, thanks for the video.

[LenWhistler]

I like the 135mm lens a lot, it is a very sharp lens and I find it easier to photograph table top subjects from a farther distance than with a standard lens. I recommend the forums at Cinema5d to compare the 5D MKII to the 7D.

YouTube doesn't allow posting URL's so you will have to enter "cinema5d" dot com to get to the forums.
