Where's my DP Credit for that shot of you directing?

I love a peek into the life of Sam! My first vidblog shot on the HV30+Brev should be coming out in a week or so.

One hot tip I learned from shooting with adapters with no tripod is that the "smoothcam" filter in FCP is your friend.

Can you tell me some things about the D5 MkII

What is the maximum video length?
What is the size of a minute of video?
What is the file format of the video output?
Does the camera record audio(Stereo or Mono)?

Thanks for your help

The quality of your footage is amazing and your use of DOF is great.
Sam Reich 3 years ago

With a 16g card, you can take about 20 minutes. The output is MOV. I believe it's stereo audio, not very good quality. But you can buy an external mic.

The Canon 5D Mark ii shoots 1080i video. It's a really great toy.
