    Hey Theo,

    This piece really moved me. Thanks for sharing.

    Other than the 5D, which cameras did you use? Which shots were shot on them?

    Thanks!

    All the real time video shots are with the 5D Mark II, it was also used for a few of the T-Lapse shots as well.
    The other cameras that made up the bulk of the T-Lapse where and old 5D 1st gen, a old 20D, and Kiel's Rebel.

    Glad you liked what we have been up to.
    Kiel, Arthur, and I are blown away by all the positive feed back, press, and amount of views the project has been getting.
