This is my start into the DSLR revolution. I recently acquired a Canon T2i and wanted to try it out. I called up by friend Dan Welk who has a Canon 5D mark ii and we headed to the PCC album release show. Both cameras have amazing depth of field, rich color, and low contrast settings, which all evoke a film feel. I’ve been following the DSLR movement religiously but have only recently been able to dive in. And dive I will. Look for lots more footage up here soon as well as all the content I have planned for the site. Got lots of shoots planned in the next few months so I’m excited to use this little guy.

Tech: This was shot with a 5D2 and T2i. The 5D2 had a Rode video mic on it. The audio is a mix of a board feed recorded on a Zooom H4N and a bit of the 5D camera audio. The three sources (2 video + 1 audio) were synced by Pluraleyes (which tried real hard) and edited in FCP with minor color correction. My T2i struggled a bit in the low light so I bumped up the mids in post a bit and desaturated it. The T2i image has quite a bit less latitude in it compared to the 5D2. There is a bit of distortion from the board at the beginning and the crowd had no inhibitions about bumping into us so it gets jumpy from time to time. This was a great test of these new cameras.
