This video was shot entirely with the 5D MkII
The audio is all unleveled MkII audio (other mics were used but not incorporated in this production.)

There is minor color correction on some clips, but much of it is out-of-the camera.
The Glidecam operator was Ryan Koral of Epic Motion. The edit was done by me.
The hardest part of this SDE was the transcoding of footage - this was the first time I did an SDE with the MkII so a lot of this was experimental. (I know, it's not a sound business practice to experiment on paying clients, is it? ha!)

Transcoding MkII QT mov into Canopus HQ avi is a hefty task that lumbers along at .34 realtime. So one hour of footage takes about 1:20 mintutes to transcode. That's slower than tape capture.

So that was the bulk of our time. The edit itself happened in roughly 60-90 minutes.

Next time we'll have a dedicated footage-ingester whose job is to dump and transcode the cards so that when I sit down to edit, all is ready and all is well.

Note: only 5-6 new grey hairs this time.

Cheers

did you fly Ryan out from Detroit? lol

Edit: I was brown nosing him before I started on you ;-)

Yes, I did fly Ryan from Detroit. No joke.

I was laughing at the awesomeness. Ryan is fantastic. He deserves some national love.
