This past weekend I put together a quick little video with my friend Grant. This video was shot with my Canon 5D Mark II with my cheap 50mm/1.8 lens. I kept the lens simple because I liked the depth of field. I should have used my 24-70m/2.8 for the inside the car shot, and used more graduated filters, but overall the video quality turned out good. The inside the car shot was a bit more desaturated than I had hoped.
I was the stunt driver for all of the shots, but I still lined up and planned all of the shots. Grant and I came up with this idea a few weeks back when he actually pulled this stunt on me. I figured we should make it into a video, and so this last Saturday I called him up and shot the video in 2 hours near his church.
I have decided to do more video work as well as photography because i have the option, and I have always enjoyed video work. It’s also more fun for my friends to see themselves in a video especially if it gets people to laugh!
