canon 5d mkii youth boxer news segment shot



those who like touching stories will enjoy this short piece about 8 yr old thomas kinchen who’s fought to survive his whole life and is now excelling in the boxing ring.

those who like techie gadget stuff will be excited to know that this was filmed with the , using available light only at high iso, and mic’d . handheld and tripod. looks pretty amazing!


from on .

Still working some blips out, but you’ll get the point.

Shot in about 90 minutes. All available light (with the help of some industrial halogens). Most if not all was shot in the high ISO range (3200-6400). I used a Sennheiser wireless mic which worked surprisingly well since I couldn’t monitor it. It’s a bit hot so I might turn it down (at the mic) next time.

Interviews were on a tripod, the rest was handheld. Everything was shot with the 24-105mm f/4 IS lens (this is the lens, I believe, that comes with the kit).

I thought it was a pretty good test of the camera (crappy light, etc) and I’m frankly sold on it. Post production was a bit of a bear but I think we’ll all get the kinks worked out the more we use it.

So long, XH-A1.
