***UPDATE*** Had some time to color correct the footage today. Check it out at SmugMug: tinyurl.com/6hck6z

So I gave myself a little challenge today...

1 Canon 5D MK II
1 EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
1 2GB CF Card (4 minutes of footage)
1 Battery
1 Monopod
1.5 hours to shoot (or else my truck would get towed)

Lets just say it was harder than I thought! :)

This is a very rough cut that I threw together in an hour... There was no color correction or any adjustments made to the footage (although there are a few shots that could use it). It is all RAW from the camera, converted to ProRes (Using MPEG Streamclip), and compressed back out to H.264 for Vimeo. You can download the full 1920X1080P footage if you are a registered user of Vimeo. Just scroll down and you will see the link...

Thanks to MaestroRage for creating the audio. I know it's a little bit much but I wanted to have fun with it :) audiojungle.net/item/forces-united/21238

Thanks to Canon for letting me test out the 5D MK II for a week. It is going to be amazing for photojournalists that want to shoot video as well. It will not be beneficial for cinematographers who need 24P, manual ISO/Aperture/Shutter. With that said, artists will always find a way to create art. This is just a tool and nothing more than that. Amazing things are going to happen with this camera as more creative minds get their hands on it! :)

As always, please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
