Just wrapped a short for director Jocelyn RC, shooting all round Los Angeles on a 5D and 7D pairing outfitted by Digital Film Studios.The fun for this show was getting a 5D and 7D to cooperate quickly with a variety of shooting environments and camera support accessories. As a sort of life-experience-en-montage, the show required we shoot all around greater Los Angeles and even as far as Lancaster on a very tight schedule; our cameras had to be able to swing between the Steadicam, sticks, handheld, and the car seat quickly.
The Viewfactor solution DFS uses is the most pragmatic and effective solution I've found for these idiot-savant machines. Having an Anton Bauer battery solution simplifies power for the camera, monitor, and whatever focus accessories are needed; running the Marshall through the Blackmagic rather than raw HDMI is cumbersome, but who can blame a professional rental house for shying away from the hell that is HDMI? What gets me is the complete absence of carbon fiber: it's a wonderful material for the Video world, but I'd never handle some Redrock system the way I could handle this system with all its weight. Throw a pair of Spider Grips on the rig and it's like you've got a real camera, even handheld! I digress.
