    There is so much love and hope in this video that you can't help but smile. I love the DOF you get with the 5D. Very well shot and it felt like those happy family moment montages you see in the movies except this one is for real. Nice!
  • SarahQ 3 years ago
    Thanks Jared! I'm a big fan of yours :)

    Just wanted to say what a fantastic piece of footage this is. As others have said, it completely captures the love that is shared. Considering you won't have had much time to get used to the video features of the camera, you've shown what it can achieve in the right hands.
  • SarahQ 3 years ago
    Thanks so much. I look forward to getting much much better :)

    Splendid film making technique, and what an excellent subject - such a lot of love. What a lucky family :) I am DEF. going to have to get a 5D now!

    Love this immensely. Really good. Brings a whole different meaning to "Family Portrait". I love the section when they're all together reading a book, so cozy and warm and family like. Good memories.

    And the 5D makes everything look great. Nice video work, simple and not overdone. And the pictures are perfect too!

    This is immensely fantastic. Inspiring work. I wonder if this is the new family portrait medium. As I am expecting my first child in a few weeks, I picked up a Mark II for just this purpose and am loving it.

    Sarah,
    Simply Awesome!! I love it all. My family keeps asking me to sent a family portrait, but I have a heard time finding the right person to do behind the camera duties......if your ever in FLA drop me a note....I'll put you to work! Of course I'd pay you for it!!
    You've inspired me to capture something with my little toe head, you can see him in my only 5D video here.
  • SarahQ 3 years ago
    Thanks!!! :) I was actually in Florida when you posted this. Just got home from a trip to Miami last night. Where are you in Florida?

    OH MY! I've been gathering samples from the 5d mk ii - but this is one of the best! We've added this to the 5D wiki at planet5d.com We've got more 5D reviews/still/video samples than anywhere else on the planet.

    Amazing video! I'm just starting out in iMovie. Hope to use it a lot more. I only have a G9 that shoots video, but hope to upgrade eventually to an actual video camera. ;-) I just use it now to take video while I'm out on a shoot.
    Great Videos, Great Still images!
    Take care,
    - Dan
