Thanks for putting out a great short film. I am an actor but have recently directed and filmed my first short using a 5D. It is an amazing camera and can’t wait to work with one again, on both sides of the camera! I’ll definitely be checking back to your blog for for information and hints. Also, maybe one day our paths will cross and I’ll get a chance to work with you or a project!

Krish, the camera holds up incredibly well. You need to make the camera heavy. Mine is about 8 to 10lbs. That will take the shake out. Day exteriors look amazing. Don’t be scared. You need some good Tiffen WW ND’s to give you the shallow DOF. Never shoot over a1/50 of a second on your shutter.

[...] Hurlbut used 24p for the office shots at the start of this short film and 30p converted to 24p for its flashback sequences. Read more details on Hurlbut’s blog. [...]

Hi Shane,

Amazing work… mind blowing for a total new concept on film shooting!
I’m a cinematographer (AIC) myself… gonna start a new project with 5D ! He’s definitly your fault!
Just wondering what it is the right workflow to go for Hd tv as final media?

Thanks!

Hi Shane. Fantastic job showcasing the quality of the HDSLR camera. I have had my T2i for about 7 months now and the more I learn, the more I realize I haven’t even scratched the surface. I was once a communications major about 15 years ago and for some crazy reason I dropped out. I thought I would never get a chance to get back behind a camera or edit footage again until this swing to digital came about. Thank you so much for all you have shared with us. It might just make this veteran paramedic one day have a film career!

Mark Webb, Thank you so much for those kind words and I will pass your wonderful words onto Po Chan the writer/director of the piece. Canon came to me to shoot a short film to showcase the new 24p firmware update on the Canon 5D and I went to my close friend Po and asked her to write a story that would show the power of this HDSLR platform. 24 hours later she came back to us with “The Last 3 Minutes.” Blew are minds. You are very welcome.

Hi Shane,

I recently had a chance to watch The Last 3 Minutes and it was wonderful! The story and emotions you and the rest of the team were able to capture in that short amount of time is amazing (checked out the “Making of” too). I have a 40D but after seeing this I want to upgrad to the 5D and try shooting video. Thanks so much to you and your team for the inspiration!
