During his short period of time with the Canon 5D MKII he had addition footage that was not released. Now this time around there is not so much a story behind the video, just more incredible footage.

Well more new video from a pre-production Canon 5D MKII has surfaced. Again showing its amazing video capabilities to shoot in low light. This the time video comes to us from Germany. The first video back flip is just a bmx cyclist riding around a park. Nothing too special other showing how good low light performance is(But we all know good the MKII is at low light). The 2nd video is of the same cyclist riding around at night in Germany. I’m not too sure how much time they had with the camera, but there is lots of repetitive footage in both videos. I would think if you have time with the camera you would maximize your time with the MKII and shoot a wide variety of scenario’s. But that just me. Here is the link to BACKFLIP and NACHFAHRER. Vincent Laforet’s REVERIEis back up and can be viewed again! hfortysixit!]]> http://www.hfortysixit.com/new-video-from-canon-5d-mkii/feed/ 0 http://www.hfortysixit.com/hfortysixit-x-vincent-laforet-remix/ http://www.hfortysixit.com/hfortysixit-x-vincent-laforet-remix/#comments Sun, 28 Sep 2008 07:36:24 +0000 hfortysixit http://hfortysixit.wordpress.com/?p=564 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } hfortysixit x Vincent Laforet – Remix from hfortysixit on Vimeo. hfortysixit x Vincent Laforet – Remix Well as everyone knows now the video capabilities out the New Canon 5D MKII are incredible. I really do think this is going to change the video industry. I just hope Canon does use this technology in there up coming video cam. Maybe at NAB they are going to show up with new goodies. Anyhoo, the Raw footage that was shot with the Canon 5D MKII was released on the Canon USA website. Since i really wanted to know how good the video was i decide to do a little remix of REVERIE(shot and directed by Vincent Laforet). I hope you enjoy my remix!
