I’ve been trying to dive into the world of HD video by way of Digital SLR (I use the Canon 5DmkII), and have been searching for inspiration and motivation. Found.
Filmed in Dubai over 5 days and nights.
Shot on the Canon 7D, the Canon 5DmkII and one Panasonic GF1

Since I was a little girl, I remember seeing this guy around the city (usually in Union Square) playing the drums on buckets, pans, and anything else he could find that made the right noise when hit with a drumstick. He’s still around, and has expanded his resources. He was spotted at the Islands a few weeks back while we were shooting, and I thought I’d post a clip…
I’m in the process of working on a video project, shooting with the HD video feature with manual focus on my 5D Mark II camera. Here’s a clip that I shot on the way home from work the other night, riding the ferry across the bay.
I highly recommend watching it in High Quality with the sound off.
An homage to my past life…
…30 Seconds to Mars was one of the first bands I ever came in personal contact with when I first started working at EMI back in 2002. I remember being so disappointed by Jared Leto’s oversized ego after adoring him as Jordan Catalano for all those years. Despite his diva-esque nature, 30 Seconds to Mars has done pretty well for themselves, and I’m actually really impressed with their new album, “This is War.” Leto’s vocals, while always pretty strong, have matured significantly, and he finally cut off that God-Awful mane.
This video for their first single, “Kings & Queens,” is, in my opinion, amazing. The video quality is phenomenal, and I can’t help but love it for the LA shots (especially the Griffith Park Observatory that was a part of my daily surroundings for 6 years), AND the Critical-Mass theatrics through the City of Angels.
