J.J. Abrams interview

Postby davidatree on 07 May 2009 17:57

shot on my 5d. After the interview was over he asked me "is that the 5d??" he came over and said he had one too. He was interested in my rig which had a follow focus and mattebox on it. "where did you get that and why don't I have one?" :)
His press people were keen to move him to the next interview but he stayed briefly asking my about my lens (85mm 1.2L EF) and what I thought about it. Theres footage of the whole thing, but 1. I don't think I can show it 2. Canon should pay me good money for footage of JJ talking up the 5d and us discussing what a camera it is.
Watch the interview :
shot with a 5d and a sony ex1

Thanks for the post David, great interview. Must say I'm not the biggest Star Trek fan but from what I've seen and heard so far it looks amazing. For interest sake what's your 5D setup consist of ? and I'm assuming the side on clips were EX1 hard to tell ?

In honour of J.J, the next post by another J ... J-dog.

Dig the interview, actually forgot it was shot on 5D as I was watching it ... well done.

Did you record the audio to the EX-1 and sync it later? Problems ... advice ... ?

p.s. You've got to post the post-interview footage for this board ... c'mon bro.

I'm speaking with the client to see if they'll alow me to post the footage. I believe they're going to get in contact with Canons press people lol.

Sho-nuff ... man, that would be awesome. Let us know, btw, which cam is the 5D, the front or side shot? Guessing it's the front angle ...

I'd love it if you got him slamming canon for not having a manual mode in video.
I was forced to memorize things I did not understand and my mind being so good refused to be insulted in that manner
