Michael Fletcher shares a great video from a cruise boat trip in Australia. All filmed with the Canon 5D Mark II (2 x Canon 5D MK2, Canon Prime lenses 24mm, 50mm, 85mm, 400mm, Miller Tripod, Lee Filter Kit with grads, Fostex field recorder, Rode Mics). The boat for those of you who have not heard of it is the “TRUE NORTH” and it circumnavigates the Australian continent visiting some of the most remote coastline in Australia and also ventures past these waters to many unseen Pacific Island destinations.

Watch this review of the Canon 5D Mark 2 made by Roman Lehmann and Kevin Blanc. Roman Lehmann and Kevin Blanc speak Swiss German (Schweizerdeutsch, Schwyzerdütsch, Schwiizertüütsch, Schwizertitsch). Most non-swiss will not understand it, but it is worth to watch the review and test footage they produced.

Joining the massive wave of useless and not worth to watch Canon 5D Mark II Videos. My first Canon 5D Mark II video. What else could it be then a StrongMocha Espresso

I did have this movie in mind for some time. Inspired by the “The Trojan Room Coffee Machine”

Software used: Premiere Pro and After Effects (both CS4)

You may want to grab an Espresso while you watch it. Music alone does not make it interesting.
