Shot over several days with a 5D Mark II using my 85mm 1.8. The low light capabilities of this camera is extraordinary. Minor color grading in the beginning and end. About 95% of the images are straight from the camera.

Music: "Firelight" by Snow Patrol

and the other 5% are from the future???

interesting contrast to see something so dangerous and intense set to tranquil melodic music...

Lol, yeah my description didn't make much sense now that I've read it.

The Canon 5D Mark II is such a terrific camera ! Really great vid because you make original shots, not only macro and stuff like that as we can see usually with this Canon.
AudioGuy 8 months ago

Thanks, I'm just hoping Canon decides to give us manual control of this camera. It would be a shame if they let us continue tricking the camera...it is very hard to get a consistent shot from our current method.
Thomas Akira Nakasone 8 months ago

and what method is that...cas I use one where I point the camera around the area till the exposure seems nice...then I hit the exp lock button and begin recording video....

is there a better way to trick it? thanks
ZhiC 8 months ago

Original shots? Awesome!!

Damn, why can't I stop falling in love with this camera?
AudioGuy 8 months ago

Thanks Zhic, this camera allows me to be unobtrusive. It is very hard to do this with a big ole camera.

Awesome video dude. Your editing keeps getting better.

well done!
Alex Georgevitch 8 months ago

What ISO were you shooting at? My 5dmkII is due to me on Wed. so I can't wait to start taking pictures and video with this beast. I ask about the ISO because my fastest glass currently is 2.8 though I am thinking of getting some nice primes now.
AudioGuy 8 months ago

Alex, I use a 28-70mm 2.8 all the time and I think it is good enough for these low light condtions. The ISO gets pushed to 1600-3200.
Stephen Lewis 8 months ago

Really great shots, that fire just glows like, um fire.
Fabián Reino 8 months ago

Amazing video, I think that to buy a 5D is a great idea...
Remi Noëll 8 months ago

Amazing!
Where and when in Chicago did those fires occure?
AudioGuy 8 months ago

Remi, the fires happened about a couple weeks ago in the south and west side of Chicago.
Michael Friedman 8 months ago

Really interesting. This is video that I wish I could download the original to determine if the stutter is from the original video or from the vimeo conversion.

Nice job.
WendyCity Productions 3 months ago

I have the same "stuttering" problem with my videos, too. If you figure it out, please let me know :)
SweJap 8 months ago

Thanks for giving us an example of the power of this cam! Really want it now ^^
Keith Rivers 8 months ago

wow. intense, great song to it.

what frame rate were you shooting it at? 60?
AudioGuy 8 months ago

Keith, The 5D only shoots at 30fps.
The Wall 8 months ago

If this camera had been around I definitely would have shot with it. I guess technology always goes that way. Here's to hoping they get rid of the "wiggle" and let you capture at 2K(it wouldn't take much).
AudioGuy 8 months ago

I certainly hope Canon listen to its users this time. A true 2K and 24p on the 5D would be awesome.

85mm is a good way.

Bryan Lee 8 months ago

Great work. Really dig the composition and the "firelight" soundtrack is the perfect complement.
AudioGuy 8 months ago

Thanks Bryan, when I first heard that song I knew I had to set it against fire scenes.
misterserialkiller 8 months ago

love the color palette.
Vanessa Yuille 8 months ago

Perfect song for the imagery. Melodic yet intense.
Jon Truei 8 months ago

SUPER cool!
Lighbulb Media 8 months ago

somehow this is slightly disturbing..
AudioGuy 8 months ago

Hmmm...there is always something disturbing about fires. Might be because everyone runs out of the building and the firefighters go in.
Esa Laukkanen 8 months ago

Mike Bugaoan 8 months ago

man, nice work!

unfortunate situation though
Sergio Sanchez 8 months ago

The shots are gorgeous. Specially the one with the window and the dense smoke coming out.
It is a very beatyful event to witness even when is sad.
Thanks for sharing.
Janet B 8 months ago

Really nice quality Vid. Do you have an "in" with the Fire Fighters? You wouldn't want to appear suspicious, filming fires all of the time, right? Nonetheless, it was great to see how a fire is really handled. I found it quite interesting and your perspective made that all possible! Much appreciated!
Lang Holloman 8 months ago

don't let my request deter or take away from the clarity this cam offers and your shots expressed, but a little steady or tripod really could have settled down some of the shakes. thanks for sharing
AudioGuy 8 months ago

Agreed, but i needed to be able to move quick outta the way of splashing water...or worst case a crumbling wall. :)

wow! amazing work
GIOCAVANA 8 months ago

so beauty!
Bill Gratton 8 months ago

Really Nice Work! I know it to be be true, but it is still hard to believe the video came off of a still camera. I was at a phototrade show recently and there were several manufacturers showing prototypes of brackets for the camera to help keep it steady for video work.
The Duke 8 months ago

AudioGuy...how did you get that shot of the fire fighter coming up the ladder? Are you a firefighter yourself? How'd you get that perspective?

Thanks.
AudioGuy 8 months ago

Duke, I was up on the truck ladder as well.
WendyCity Productions 3 months ago

They let up on the ladder? Wow, you must have some serious connections with the fire dept!
Ricky Christian 8 months ago

very very cool
christian chavez 8 months ago

This is really amazing, the quality is really nice is this camera better then the canon hv 30??
robert proch 8 months ago

Jason Cajune 8 months ago

I'm a firefighter. Most fire vids are matched with some sort of intense rock and roll or worse. This is really nice quality matched with interesting captive music. Many fire scenes are chaos at first followed by the monotony of a job. You captured a little of both. Good stuff.
The Duke 8 months ago

How did you get clearance to get up on the truck ladder? You must know the firefighters or something to that effect. Very cool vantage point.
Hayden Pernia 8 months ago

The soundtrack makes all of the video seem like a dream. The capabilities of the camera in that low of light are spectacular. It's amazing how something so intense is calmed by the song. A few months ago the local volunteer fire department near our lake house were setting houses on fire (they were going to be demolished anyway to make room for a road.) I really wish I had some type of camera then. How did you get permission to go an a ladder and get that close?

the canon 5dmkii is the best pro-sumer digital camera as well as camcorder on the market, especially with the expandability of an external shotgun microphone. awesome stuff here.
