It is the best way to shoot these monsters, you can put the camera anywhere. When the farmer saw this thing swinging all over his combine he was amazed.

I would greatly appreciate some info on renting the Chapman Hydro Scope. Thank you! I am shooting a very similar spot for a agriculture machine manufacture in the midwest.

All because of the amazing light weight of the 5D. This revolution really is a beautiful thing.

I would have to look at pictures and have Dave my Elite Team Key Grip take a look at it.

Thanks! I need to fix the 5d mark2 to this lambada composite aircraft. http://www.adcompair.com/lambada/lambada1.htm Will be shooting a glider. Not as practical as Darin :) What would you/he suggest in terms of grip to secure it? Want to look ahead and down( and not lose it!) There are no struts on this plane. Thanks. Larry Hi there,

My clients are over the Moon with the footage I have delivered so I am carrying on. The Harvest stuff you've posted on the sight look amazing. Hope we run in to each other soon. Paul Thx Shane,

With the sensor only reading every other line this is what we get. You just have to watch out for tight patterns and don't expose the cons of this camera. That is what I have been trying to do. Know its limitations and do not expose them. Paul Reuter, hey Paul, unfortunately it is a fact of life. With the sensor only reading every other line this is what we get.

Let me work on the prototypes a bit more this week as I would like to get them 100% if possible.

They are great for panoramic city shots, but put to the test in action where you want to attack the on coming car or high speed boat, they fall short every time.

I was very interested in the aerials you did here. I have been developing small mounts for Cessna's for some time now and have had mixed results with the 5D. I am just working on a mount to look vertically down like you had. I really liked the creative way you got rid of the vibration in post. I have had that kind of vibration in many tests I had shot in the development of the mounts. I am very close to getting rid of all vibration. ALso, the vibration seems to really screw up the compression - http://vimeo.com/7513091 - but getting rid of the vibration gets you closer -http://vimeo.com/13137302 :-) Frame rate seems to play a big issue as well - 24p and you get rolling shutter - 30p and you get vibration blur. Let me know if you ever need a airplane mount that will fit in your camera case and hopefully I will have one for you!! thanks, Nigel Hi Shane,

I'm assuming it will have general distribution, or is it going to be a limited number of cinemas? Additionally, do you have any comments on the season finale of House? I'm particularly interested in grading. You often mention how it is important to get the look in the camera, i wonder how much was done in camera (i'm presuming the large majority. It just seemed the footage to me was 'enhanced' and i wonder by how much in the grade and what techniques might have been used). It would be interesting to see any of your work pre/post grade, or perhaps if you would be able to draw light on what you did for the case tractor spot? One more thing. Over the experience you've gained over the last year or so, it would be interesting to see what you're no no's are on set in regards to aliasing/moire. How do you liase with the set designer/costume/location scout in regards to this matter? Sorry, that's rather a lot!, but maybe these questions will be on the back-burner in your mind for future posts. Thanks again Shane.

I just took 1/4" white tape and made my frame lines for composition. It looks amazing on the big screen. Tom Camarda, It is not a problem, We shot all of “Act of Valor” 2:35.
