Canon 5D Mark II and the HPX170P
I wanted to try a little experiment mixing footage from the Canon 5D Mark II and the Panasonic HPX170P – mainly because I have ready access to both these cameras and would like to shoot with both and be able to mix the footage for a variety of reasons. I love the ergonomics, sound capture abilities and overall robust nature of the HPX. The Canon shoots with my L lenses and is capable of some wonderfully rich video with narrow DOF and lovely Bokeh. Both good cameras and useful for different purposes.

Tiffen Filter test with the Canon 5D Mark II
Karen and I went to Yerba Buena park the other day with my Canon 5D Mark II, the Cinevate baseplate and Karen’s RedRock Micro Matte Box. From school we picked up Tiffen 4×4 glass filters:
- ND6, Black Pro-Mist
- Warm Pro-Mist
- Ultra Contrast 1
- Low Contrast 1/2
- ND 6
We took one still of each filter and a short HD video clip which I compiled through FCP and Compressor. The videos are best viewed in HD on Vimeo.

SF Panoramic
Went for a sort of urban hike/hike the other day from the Golden Gate bridge, up around the point past the Lands End and the Cliff House to the end of the Judah line, then rode that home. Along the way I snapped this classic SF shot. Click to view the full image.

In the background. Note to self – buy an in-ear headset so I don’t look like I wandered out of a McDonald’s drive-through.
Thesis Film Shoot Screen Grabs
Karen Abad posted some screen grabs from the project we worked on over the weekend. She was the DP, I was operator. We used my Canon 5D Mark II with a 70-200mm L USM Canon lens, a 28-105 Canon L USM and a 50mm 1.2 Nikkor Prime with a $15 Nikon -> Canon adapter. Take a peek at the stills.
