Photo Shoot with Elijah Star

This video was filmed entirely on the Canon 7D. No color correction was used. Elijah Star’s style is one of my favorites. He only uses natural light, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at his photos. He’s has an amazing eye.

Fashion Shoot w/ Jason

I’m currently producing a documentary on some of LA’s fashion photographers. I had to submit some footage to my grad school, to document my progress. Here is a little montage of completely raw footage, no color correction, I cut together. The documentary will be completed before Christmas. All shot on the Canon 7D

This footage is for a short documentary I’m producing on a few of LA’s top photographers. Photo-shoot/lighting provided by Jason Christopher. Shot in the Elevate Lounge, which is in a LA skyscraper penthouse. This video does not inherently, on my behalf, represent the final documentary or style thereof, the photos, the model, those who appear, the client, and/or the property with which it was shot on.

I shot this on Thursday, the 1st, and edited this over the last few days. My wife was my lens manager for the day. The 7D is an excellent little camera. The 7D, while may look pretty, has certain limitations which many camera users may see as a breaking point. While the price may be lower than your traditional HD cam, it doesn’t have the bells and whistles to satiate those looking to film weddings or live events. It’s max recording time is 12 minutes, but you can hit record immediately after it stops to start a new “reel”, as it were. The rolling shutter issues are still there, but can be worked around just like the 5D Mk II.

I think for short films, indie films, and even feature films, as a goto B-unit camera, commercials and some documentary styles, it will work great though. I think for my situation, it works perfectly, but for many, a 3CCD HD camera like the HVX200 will be a better recommendation. It all depends on what you need to do with the camera… but again, for many, it’s not the workhorse many hoped it would be, but for others it’s a dream come true!
