4/1/12- Regraded version posted. One thing I noticed is pushing the C-Log footage can introduce a fair bit of noise. I didn't run a denoiser pass but it may be advisable in some cases.
I received my Canon Cinema EOS C300 mid Feb, 2012 and invited over Rick Macomber (@Boston_Camera) of Macomber Productions and Mike Murie (@notesonvideo) of the excellent Notes on Video blog to play around and take some test shots.
But test shots are boring. Why not put a story together? We quickly pressed Mike into service as our actor, came up with a quick story in 30 minutes, and then with the 4 hours of light we had left in the day, went out shooting. This is what we came up with, which was edited and completed the next day. It's a message about our economy, our veterans, and more.

A chance to play with the new Canon C300 Cinema EOS Camera leads to three hours of collaborative filming on a wet January 2012 evening at Felt Boston by members of the Boston Creative Pro User Group - BOSCPUG.

"HUSTLE"
What started out with friends as a CAMERA TEST with no script, shot list or idea turned into a quick creative confab and a three minute short set to original music and cut to the groove of a hustle in action.

The creative industry can, more often then not, be a brutal rat race filled with egos, corruption, politics—all those human vices that come into play when individuals try to achieve fame and recognition. But there are also counter forces at play, soulful passion, authenticity, grassroots support—all of which balance out the bad, all of which can inspire.
This video was created to show those genuine virtues of singer-songwriter Erica Leigh to those who may not know her well, or not know her at all, in an effort to help her garner the funds to create her first debut EP, Puzzle Heart. I hope this video succeeds in creating empathy between Erica and the viewers because I hope she succeeds.
I know what it's like to be in the creative trenches, when expressing oneself through art and sustaining a living often seem mutually exclusive, and that is why I'm vouching for Erica. Asking you to help her out, bringing…
Over the past year and a half, I have had the chance to work with so many amazing people, and watch so many of their lives change either though building their businesses or through simply experiencing life and enjoying everything it has to offer. I cherish every single one of the people I come into contact with and I appreciate everything that these people have given me. From the long road trips and sleepless nights looking for hidden skate spots, to the countless hours learning about all the hard work someone has put into their art and business, I felt compelled to put together a reflection of my work over the past year and a half. I wanted this piece to reflect my work as a whole, but also show my love for the people I have worked with. I wanted to show them how much they have shaped my life, and how being surrounded by passionate and endearing people has truly made a difference in my life. I hope to never stop doing what I am doing, and that I continue to meet amazing people every single…
