Congratulations Beth and Eric
I had the privilege of taking out the 5D Mark II for it’s first full project, the marriage of my friend Beth to her sweetheart Eric. The footage looks incredible and I am now in the process of getting the edit going for their wedding DVD. I’ll post some clips up soon.
In order to make sure I was as prepared as possible, I bought an extra LP-E6 battery, an AC power adapter for the 5D, a 501HDV fluid head for my tripod and an extra 32GB CF card which gave me the ability to shoot nearly 3 hours without missing a thing. Luckily I also had my laptop with me which permitted me to dump the CF card that was full while shooting on the other one. Next up on the list of kit to buy are a couple of good prime lenses, 50/85mm and a good 200-300mm telephoto. I also really need to get a 15mm rail / follow-focus and matte box system. I’m thinking Redrock Micro, when I can afford it. Can’t wait for the next project to use the 5D.
