Sean - video and stills with just one camera
I’m stoked about the new possibilities. There are still people who rant about the fact that they
have to pay for video features in a DSLR instead of realizing the potential it gives them.
When I bought the 5d II the main reason for getting it was to play around with video and use it
as well in order to express my vision and ideas. It simply is a great tool for a low price that
allows one very easily to move into another field.
If you’re a professional still thinking if you should also add video to your portfolio you’re
asking the question way too late. The question should be either “Why not?” and/or what’s my
next idea I could film.
Sure it opens up a whole new can of challenges, new software to be learned, new skills to be
acquired and a different way of thinking about storytelling. But isn’t that the fun part of
being an artist? To always be able to do something new and learn along the way?
I’m excited and you’ll see more moving images from me in the future while I still shoot stills.
It’s not a question of stills or video. It’s a question of delivering a vision.
This video was shot entirely on the 5D II with the 50/1.8 and no special tools, tricks or whatnot.
There’s a lot of gear out there already to help make the 5D a more versatile and better to use
video camera, but why not start with what you have?
And of course a still image
