No it wasn't Avatar.
However, I had the pleasure of meeting the super talented Eduard Schneider

5d Resurrected

Last week I had a huge shoot and had my 5d and Jon's 7d with me. We were filming inside and I tried to go into live mode on my 5d and it wouldn't budge. Nothing. No click, No image, nothing. I tried to turn it off and on a few times but it wouldn't budge. I tried to change the battery and nothing. By this point I HAD TO start shooting so I just grabbed another camera. Probably no less than a minute later, my colleague was able to turn it on and go into video mode and record.
What gives? I've actually read on a few other sites that people have had similar issues but should we find it ironic that all of a sudden, after the much needed firmware was released, that there are rare occurrences of the 5d just freezing up?
Lesson learned. Bought the new Canon T2i as a backup.
Alright... the title was a little dramatic but I'm a little worried and curious if anyone else has experienced this.

Our First Same Day Edit: All Canon DSLR's

4.11.2010

This was our first Same Day Edit. It was shot entirely on Canon 5D's and Canon 7D's.
We had hoped to include more audio but we had to show this while the band was on break
and after color grading it, we just ran out of time. It was very cool to finally get some
live feedback on an edit. The crowds reactions made all the time spent in pre-production
well worth it.
