The camera is great, but there is clearly more to the success of this video than that. It's all about the talent.

Buy a Canon 5D MK2. Almost the same sensor and image. I thought for sure it was the 5D when I saw the rolling shutter. The camera work is amazing BTW. Exposure perfect and timing amazing. Oh the music pretty good too :) You will need to do some research on dvinfo.net to see what can be done with the 5D but it will blow your mind. Seriously looks just like this image.
Brin Hill 10 months ago

totally worth renting this cam but the energy and inspiration in this video is unbelievable
Kobe Bryant 11 months ago

for some reason, i appreciate that more than multimillion dollar videos with no point / relevance to the song. at least you actually 'let the beat build' with this one haha.
