(You should really watch this in 1080p. Just sayin’) We recently purchased a new camera! Body: Canon 7D Lens: Tamron 17-55mm f/2.8 Filter: Fader ND w/ UV filter All of these shots were done hand held. We do not have a rig as of yet. This camera cost us a small fortune and so a decent tri-pod, rig, and follow-focus are a bit out of our reach at the moment. This was all done on the default settings at 24p. No post production editing or grading except for a small amount of color correction on a few shots. The video from this camera is astounding! With some time and practice I think we will be able to turn out some really great footage.
