Moving images taken with a DSLR
The quality of DLSRs has vastly improved of late, but as with all great technology, doing one thing really well just isn’t enough. Video recording has been a feature on digital cameras for a while, but I have never seen quality like this from any stills camera before.
Canon gave Vincent Laforet a pre-production model of their new EOS 5D Mark II camera and he recorded a short movie, Reverie.
The result… Well the quality of the footage taken is breathtaking, and the movie on the Canon site has been sized down by a quarter! There has been no post-production on the clips. It is made up of the raw footage taken. I think I know what camera we’ll be looking at when it’s time to upgrade ours.
You can read more about the making of the movie at Vincent’s blog, as well as watch a behind the scenes video.
