The Autumn Film- Joy (filmed with Canon 5d Mark ii)

April 20, 2009 by Andrew Hyde Posted in The Autumn Film, video

A while ago my office mate Grant Blakeman asked me if I wanted to help out with a music video for his friends band.  It sounded, above anything, like an adventure.  I had a brand spanking new 5d mark ii and wanted to see how the HD capture worked.

Well, the video is released today, along with a music giveaway from the band (The Autumn Film = getting it).

Here is the video, filmed with no budget, no lighting, in two hours by two friends of the band.  Dann Stockton produced the audio (and is one kick ass drummer).

Game changing what this camera can do.

Game changing what this band can do.  I see a bright future.

  • Awesome, you guys did a really kick ass job.

    I was wondering, whats the sound recording like on the camera? my friends and I have been debating it for a while, I'm convinced that an slr could replace a video camera in some instances but he's on the opposite side of the fence and the crux of his arguement is that the sound would be of far poor quality than a specialised HD video camera that you'd pay the same price as a 5d.

    I've added on an external mic, here is the audio quality (very good): http://vimeo.com/4245366

    You can only record in 12 minute batches, the only real downside I see.
  • Amazing man! I love it! That camera really is incredible. But the video is simple and tasteful and works wonderfully with the song. It also sounds amazing too.
