7D 60 fps test video

Just like a couple of excited little kids at christmas time, Clinton the intern and I almost peed ourselves when the new 7D came in the mail last friday. The Canon 7D is a perfect addition to our family because we finally have a camera that matches the footage of our 5D mrk 2 AND can also shoot 60 frames per second. Of course we wanted to test out the 60p capabilities so the rest of our weekend went as follows.

Friday:

3:00pm - 4:00pm... Dance around in joy

4:10pm - 6:00pm... Prepare for senior session and get familiar with the camera

7:15pm - 8:30pm... Shot our first multiple HDSLR senior session

Saturday:

12:00pm - 6:00pm... Shot photography wedding

8:00pm - 10:30pm... storyboard/argue about shots we want in our test video

11:00pm - 12:00am... FIFA Soccer '09 break on the Xbox

12:30am - 4:00am... finish arguing about film concepts and theory whilst storyboarding the rest of the shots.

Sunday:

3:00pm... wake up

5:00pm - 8:00pm... Clean the garage at the studio and set up lights for particular shots

8:00pm - 8:45pm... inhale amazing steaks that Annie made

9:00pm - 1:45am... shot video

2:00am... caffeine break

2:30am - 5:00am... finish shooting

6:00am... walk into my house just in time to say good morning to my mom who had just woken up

 staying according to script

 jib shot.. the dolly shots were accomplished by standing on a longboard and being pushed by a second person

 
    Originally we had just planned on doing a few simple test shots but of course one thing lead to another and we couldn't keep it simple.  Special thanks to Ian Youvan who came out to annoy us by shooting darts all over the place while we were trying to work and special thanks to Kurt Herron for being my stunt double when we needed two guys to operate the camera. Enjoy!

love,

Roylan and Clinton the intern
