    Chadd and the guys from Last-Pictures used a RED ONE, check out the behind the scenes footage nyellee.com/wordpress/?p=190
  • babydolltash 2 years ago
    I need that camera in my life!
  • ZADIE plus 2 years ago
    The camera is great, but there is clearly more to the success of this video than that. It's all about the talent.
  • Matt Albiniak 2 years ago
    i don't know moving pictures from a hole in the ground, but god damn this is some real music.
  • Nate Erickson 2 years ago

  • The Lemurian Seed 2 years ago
    Nuff said...but i don't have 17,000.00 handy and thats just for the body of the red.
  • Nyle 2 years ago
    nah...you can just rent one for a day that's less than a thousand.
  • 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 plus 2 years ago
    totally worth renting this cam but the energy and inspiration in this video is unbelievable
  •  
  • Kobe Bryant 2 years 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.
