Is the creative grading done post?

[yarnmaker]

@sclogse1 Yes, done in post.

The manual cvontrols are available in the new firmware, downloadable from the canon website...

What lenses did you use for this fine example of the Mark II's video capabilities...

I had most sof the pro line , but sold them because they never were getting any use....I had the 70-200mm IS f/2.8 and the 24-70mm but sold those..

Now I use only the 24mm prime f/1.4 and the 50mm f/1.4 and those are great for video.. I may get 1 extreme wide lens and 1 telephoto prime to round out my collection...

Re: manual controls, this vid was shot & posted long before they came out. Now if only we could get 25 and 24 FPS! I used a 50mm f1.4 for a couple of shots, and a very poor 28-105 f4.5 for the rest, but you'd never pick it at youtube HD.

Super video, have you tried shooting since with the new firmware?

[yarnmaker]

@andrew1977uk Only to experiment - all our major work for 2010 ended just before the firmware! We'll be back into production again next year.

Brilliant, just bought this camera today as a photographer but loving the new chance of trying my hand at a little film making. Good job :-)
