Unedited video from Jarred Bishop’s new Canon 5D2. I did some filming in the weekend for an upcoming project with a borrowed 5D2; its ease of use in the video stakes is quite incredible, and because it looks like a DSLR, your subjects often don’t realise they’re being filmed, which is good if you’re after unrehearsed reactions.
