When it comes out next week.Buy It !!!!!! The tips in here are well worth it even if you have been using the Canon 5D MK II for awhile. This DVD shows you everything you need to know to shoot properly with the 5D.
Philip Bloom has been at this for over 20 years. So when a new piece of equipment comes out he is the obvious choice to turn to to find out how that equipment works. In this case we are speaking of course about the highly anticipated and debated Canon 7D. What did we learn from this short? Well besides the obvious, that Philip Bloom is an amazingly talented filmmaker and has a wealth of knowledge that he shares freely with the filmmaking community... We learned this. Any doubts about the Canon 7D's capabilities have been squashed. Is it as good as the 5D MKII strictly speaking about image quality. Of course not. Is it however, a highly capable DSLR in regards to capturing great HD Video in low light situations. Yes. Does it offer the 24p. Yes. As well as 60 p,50p (when shooting 720p) and 24p,25p,and 30p (when shooting 1080p) These are exciting times we live in if your a filmmaker or even a fan. Stay tuned for our coverage of WEVA. Where Philip Bloom and Den Lennie of F-Stop Academy will be presenters.

This is my 6 year old cousin Frankie's directorial debut. This was shot on a Canon 5d Mk II with a 50mm 1.4. It's called Frankie and Brett but you'll see who the star is.He wants to be famous... Ah the joy of being young!! Make sure you watch the end for his brilliant insights on filmmaking.
From Australia "At our @#$$$%% meeting last week, a rep from our major local pro video supplier told us that he’d been told by Canon that they expect to release a sub 10K prosumer camera with a 35mm sensor around April next year." WOWSERS!! Yeah it's probably just a rumor but remember when the 5d mkii was and then the 7d was... exciting times we live in.
Wrong! Tom Guilemette is crazy enough to do just that. This man attached a 5D to a helmet and went mountain biking!! I don't even know what to say about this other then I am way too much of a pansy to ever attempt anything like this. Also kids don't try this at home. Tom is a trained professional any attempts to recreate the stunts in this video will most likely end in injury or a completely destroyed DSLR. Anyway with out further ado check out Tom Guilmette's Insane Downhill Ride with 5D Helmet Cam !!!Read more...

An amazing DOP and a good friend Philip Bloom is one of the first people to get his hands on a Canon 7D. Take a look at this really cool short he did to test out the 7D's cinematic capabilities. This isn't your typical shot in the backyard test. It shows how in the right hands this camera has the ability to be a mighty powerful tool! Thanks Philip for sharing this with the community and for your tireless efforts as a true DSLR warrior braving the unknown so shooters can get the hands-on practical advice they need before making purchase decisions.
