So, I went along and got myself a new Canon 7D. The mere thought about having the ability to shoot full 1080 HD video in 24 or 25 fps, using the good old canon lenses was just too tempting. The other day me and friend Martin Botvidsson took a stroll (or rather, stood still) in the central parts of Stockholm. Me with the 7D and Martin with his 5D mkII.

Now, the film is pretty boring in itself, mainly due to the fact that I didn’t plan anything but just tested the camera in low light conditions. Everything is shot handheld or ‘placed-camera-on-surface’ in 24p with a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens (left wide open). Shutter speed is 1/50 and ISO set to 500. No grading/coloring altered in post. The soundtrack is something I whipped together some month ago in Logic 8 when being ill at home. The best part in the video is probably the last 3 seconds (the end-credits or whatever that animation is called). I made that in Cinema 4D & After Effects).

For the next 7D experiment I’ll try to think out some sort of script/storyboard, and *then* shoot video. Or maybe not.
