EOS 5D Mark II: Laforet on Reverie

 

Explorer of Light Vincent Laforet was one of the first photographers in the United States to shoot with a prototype EOS 5D Mark II. With no notice, no funding, no crew, and less than 72 hours to complete his shooting, Vincent seized the opportunity to direct his first-ever short video. The result is Reverie (click to watch), a hauntingly beautiful work of art.

In this exclusive Making-Of Video, go behind the scenes with Vincent  --
see how shots were lit, how the camera was rigged, why certain lenses were used, and how the film was edited. In his narration, Vincent discusses the experience of production, and how it felt to shoot HD video with Canon's latest EOS SLR.
