Samuel & Olivia E-Shoot (photo & video)
Monday, January 12th, 2009*just thought i’d write this quick note letting everyone know that I think there is something weird going on with the comments box below? Please try and leave a comment, but I’m sorry in advance if it doesn’t work. Thanks to everyone who has facebooked me or emailled me with their comments instead*
Samuel & Olivia are 2 very awesome people who were up for anything.
So, when my 5d Mark 2 Camera (that shoots photos and video) arrived half an hour before their engagement shoot, I decided to take a chance and give photo and video a go. I love surprising clients.
There are some very impressive new videos out there showing off this camera and it’s video capabilities, my only problem with them is that they have all been with professional models, in controlled conditions, lighting, assistants.. plenty of time.. and without having to shoot images at the same time.
So what happens when a photographer picks up a camera and does photo and video by themselves? Check out the results below.
The video was all shot by me, and edited in free software, iMovie HD, by Matt Ebenezer from shadowplay…matt makes me look awesome with his great video editing. Thank you!
Make sure you check out the Shadowplay blog for a much better written evaluation of the camera and experience, and also Katie’s awesome shots from her second shooting role. Thanks to Lydia Cole for allowing us to use her song!
Here’s the video
