Canon Digital Learning Center - EOS 5D Mark II Shoots House M.D. Season Finale
My knowledge of cameras and lenses are in an infantile state, which made this video particularly interesting. If you have any interest in DSLR and video, this conversation will be fascinating.
Too bad most of us can't afford a 5D Mark II, which would be overkill for my family videos... but fun.
I thought listening to the director of photography speak about his work was riveting and an unusual perspective on the movie and TV industry. Often, the public only hears the actors, directors, writers and producers speak about a specific project or their work. In this case, hearing the details of technology being utilized in unconventional ways is very inspiring, no matter the specifics of your profession. The coining of the phrase "NinjaCam" was awesome and I can understand how that might be a creative movie maker's dream.
If you haven't watched House, M.D. as a show, you really should. I watch about 3 hours of TV per week and this is one of those hours and well worth the investment.
One last thought; the fact that Canon could not embed the three clips in this talk is another horrid side effect of how digital rights works in America. In no way would Canon have directly benefited by using those clips, they are purely educational within the context of this platform. In fact, Fox would have received additional (free) publicity for one of their flagship shows. It is just unfortunate, as I and many of you would like to have seen the actual footage that was being discussed at this conference.
