Amazing comparison between DSLR and film.

This series of test comparisons of movie capabilities between the new breed of DSLRs and the benchmark of film, is compulsory viewing for anyone seriously considering HD movie making. Here are links to the first 2 in a series of 3 comparisons:

The final comparison takes on colour and green screen. So far these are real eye openers, so I guess its not totally surprising (though I am slightly awestruck) that the finale to the TV series "House" was shot with a 5D Mkii.

Moon Rise Time Lapse Tester

I'm getting the hang of time lapse using my Canon EOS 7D. Check out this is a very brief tester shot for "Tall Stories - Micro Movies", with music by evocative audio (also me). The weird brown night sky is curtesy of a nearby bush fire. The 16 or so seconds is made up of 444 still shots, and the night time section is in 0.5 slow mo.
