Recently, there's been so much talk about the latest and greatest camera advancements, I wanted to use this Indie Wednesday to point out what someone did with a good old Canon 5D MKII. The 5D started the DSLR indie film movement and it was still well-represented this year at festivals like Sundance. However, it is quickly becoming forgotten and overshadowed by all the new kids on the block, like the Black Magic Cinema Camera, the Red Epic, and Scarlet, etc, etc.
I think TNIW [That Night In Williamsburg] proves that the old man still produces great images. I just wanted to remind everyone out there (including myself) what a great and economical filmmaking tool the 5D is. And, as attentions turn elsewhere, you can pick up a 5D on eBay for under $1500. With that camera you can produce images like these. You don't need to mortgage your house for whatever new gear came out today. And you definitely shouldn't keep waiting to start your film due to fear of missing out on a camera that might be released tomorrow.
Add in some clever After Effects work, and you've got a very cool piece like the one made by Supralude. Supralude is a graphic designer and director who has been working in motion design for twelve years. Well done. We salute you, Supralude.
