Shot and edited January of 2009, shortly after the camera was received in December of 2008, PRIOR to manual control functionality. This video was shot using the Canon 5D Mark II on a modular shoulder mount rig. The only lighting used was what was available in the nightclub. No controllable or camera-mounted lights were used. The prime focus (no pun intended) was to see how well the camera would record this low-light scenario before using the rig in a real production environment.

To give the video a slightly over-cranked (slow-motion) feel, all the raw footage was conformed from 30p to 24p.

Out of the large collection of lenses we have, only two were used; the Canon 35mm f/1.4L and the Canon 135mm f/2L. These are noted in the bottom-right area of the video on a clip-per-clip basis.

No color-timing and/or color-grading was used on any of these shots; they are all uncorrected in their raw state.

Edited in Final Cut Studio 2 in a couple of hours.
