The quality is amazing. This isnt an SDE right? Would be superb uf u managed to do it in a day! I'm not sure if the slight shakiness is due to the roller shutter issue or it being handheld?

Nice , did you use any tricking for manual control at all? You got pretty good amount of DOF in the crowd shots, did you shoot at like F8 and use lights?

Nice Work David!

"It's a New Day" for sure.... How did you like using the 5D Mark II for the entire wedding?

Nice work David. How much (if any) color correction work did you do? Or does the colors look like that pretty much right out of the SLR?

Wow, Looks amazing. Did you any extra lighting? or was it shot just using the ambient lighting?

Wow...way to go...I'm so jealous of you guys that have beaches & weather....not like us damp, cold brits....looks great.....I'm watching this space...BTW...what lenses were you using? and was this mostly handheld?

Thanks everyone!

Here are some answers to your questions:

I loved using this camera.
No tricking for manual control. Everything auto.
I occasionally used a 10w light.
As far as color correction, I reduced saturation on some shots. That's it.
I am a Brit, but had the sense to move to California :-))
Lenses Used: 24-70mm 2.8, 70-200 2:8, 15mm Fisheye.

Hi David,

Nice!

You "reduced" saturation? It looked liked it was enhanced.

My best.

Very nice! I see it has the same problem though that our SonyPMW-EX1 has in that flashes or disco lighting create a half-frame horizontally visual line break-up. I beieve that has to do with the electronic shutter...? We are planning getting two of thes 5D2 soon for our photography side of things for its low-light capabilities, so the video capabilities would be a bonus. weddingphotos-video.co.uk and weddingphotos-video.co.uk/blog. I liked the use of the Fish-Eye - that's one up on most standard wedding videos for sure! Most video has some degree of shake so I think you did really well, David!
How many memory cards did you use? xx Elaine

What ISO did you use? What F stop was used? Any camera supports used, follow focus. Looks great. Its a new world...

Hi David,

The quality is very sharp, top notch in fact, everyone knows this. It definitely does not look in any way like film to be honest it is an overly sharp, overly digital look with "DOF" shots.
The shakiness side to side in 90% of the shots is rather
distracting but hey it's not a video camera right?!
Since you have no original audio where it matters it is not really a wedding video but a montage of video clips.
That is what the down side is to that camera, I have seen glide cam rigs with matte box on the front of this camera to turn it into something it is not.
You did a good job controlling your handshake to a degree, I have played with the camera myself but in the end I just really consider it a toy and not a serious videographers camera of course.
Not enough meet on the bones if you get my drift and less functionality, very limited due to the need for more than 1 lens and to make matters worse no auto zoom! :o) The Canon & Nikon Gods will see this post and next year have all those features tied up in a camera with a little pink bow, you watch!

P.S. the video was Definitely color corrected & De saturated to an extent, as the WB features on that camera are not that clean! Nothing shot digital can be
perfect of course!

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.

Excellent! I viewed it twice in fact.

Best 5D wedding video I have seen to date.

fantastic video!!

Nice and sharp, but I did not care for the rolling shutter. There are hundreds of flashes at weddings, and this rolling shutter crap can take its toll on the images. The fleshtones are all over the place, and the picture is pretty noisy in very low light, although the performance is good overall.

Serious flaws are lack of motorized zoom and audio controls, nowhere to mount a mic, no shoulder support, and very little image control. The camera will do okay for filmmaking, but for run and gun weddings, it's not ready for prime time.

I like the big ass sensor, though! Bigger than Red's. And the shallow depth of field with interchangeable lenses.

Hey David, Great Stuff. I haven't had the courage to use mine yet for weddings but may start. I'm wondering if a monopod would be the answer to some stability but not hinder the portability in such a run and gun situation as a wedding. I'll probably have Selena shoot my Z7 behind me whilst I shoot the 5D to give me some kind of back-up. Thanks for the post.

Hey David! It was great meeting you at WEVA and see that you are still kicking booty :) I bought a 5D after Dave Williams showed me one of his events shot on that cam.

Started looking and got hooked. Shot my first "official" wedding mixed with the EX footage. Just me solo with the two cams. Had the 5D for "garnish" and when the EX would not go any lower light I broke out the 5d with a Nikon 50mm @ 1.4 HOLY @#$% What a low light beast. The grain is a cool effect IMO and I was totally stealth.

Vid is awesome! Must be hard to maintain such a super high standard :)

Best.... hope to see you at WEVA this year again.

Mike
