A Short Film Shot With My New Camera

Niger

…Last year I was lucky enough to receive one of the first new Canon 5D mark II cameras when they came out.  Niger was to be the trial run for this new SLR which also shoots high definition film, something I am very excited about.  With the help of BBC cameraman Toby Strong and a random gathering of women that we met in the desert, we experimented with its filming and photography capabilities.  Here is the result…

A big thank you to Jasper Montana from our BBC team in Bristol who edited the movie at very short notice from our extremely minimal and experimental rushes!
