This seems really drat cool. Where would you get a little screen like that though? I checked around out of curiosity, but apparently I don't know what they are called or something because I couldn't find anything.

Figured I share this - friends and I have a group that competes in film contests (48 hour film challenges/ video commercials) and shot this "homage" to the SNL opening for a party we threw for all our supporters.

Was shot with Canon 7D at night, at an ISO of 3200 using the Canon EFS 18-135(i think - it was awhile ago) and no other lighting other than what was on the street/in the interiors of the places.

This is really well done. As a life long SNL fan (except for a bunch of years there when it was terrible), I approve.

I have found that an external mic is the only way to go. I use this one on my 7D/5DII, it works great and cancels out focus/image stabilization noise. It also comes with a "dead kitten" muff that kills wind noise in even the most extreme conditions. Even the slightly cheaper mics are a gigantic improvement over the on board mic.

I shot this for a friend on his 7D a few weekends ago. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to pull focus in daylight with that tiny rear end screen. Next time when I get more than a few hours notice I'll look into renting one of those eyepieces and an actual shoulder rig. I'm still happy how it turned out though!

I love the Pete and Pete references. Well done.

The waves at york beach were supposed to be epic today so I took the 5DII and my 70-200mm 2.8 out for a bit of a test. I'm not completely satisfied with how it came out. It's a little too shaky and it's feels kind of colorless, but I learned a lot and I'm hoping to shoot more video soon.

I'm really pretty new to video, but I spent most of yesterday putting this together. There's a few minor things that still annoy me about it, but over all it came out how I planned, which is way more than I can say about most projects that I start.
