I want to see more of the stills from the video shoot. i think those would be more interesting to look at, at least for a lil bit. haha.

Finally! I’ve been reading through all this waiting for someone to comment on the fact that it’s all marketing. Right from the beginning with the pan out from the canon logo. You knew right away it was a gimmick.
BUT it was still cool as hell to watch. They could have used a lot of other methods to create their light wall, but with canon backing them up, this was probably cheaper for them.

Now that I’ve read all the remarks here, I must admit that I agree with those who think this was a great idea ! It got us all talking about it, right ?! That’s what this video was made for.
And the fact that opinions are so strong just proves this point even more.
This is a great promo, for Canon as well as the makers of this film and the band (and their record company). Thumbs up !

We used to do this with simple lightbulbs… check this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW88kdzIks4
a lot simpler I think, and probably cheaper (unless they had Canon on their side). that’s why we had 1200 bulbs, dimmable in groups of 8. Just hook them up to a lighting table and dimmers…

its great. For the ppl who maybe didnt even watch it closely:

1. not all the camera used were D60:
if u look closer in beginning there are some more crappy old camera used to setup. just they only take closeup on the body with better condition. some look like really old film camera.

2. some of the pictures took by those camera are actually used in the final film:
right when i was thinking it is quite a waste if only using them as flash unit, it showed up in the video some shoot took by the camera wall. It is quite interesting!

Have u even seen the music-video? They are cutting in picture from the bodies in the later-half of the video…so they are using em for sure.

And what is the difference between a huge car and the many bodies? You dont need a big-a** truck to get from A to B, a normal car will do the same, that is cheaper and better for the environment…That my friend is stupid. It’s just a way to show of and compensate for a small *****…

totally different story… You still “Drive” the big car but they aren’t using the camera bodies in any shape or form
it is creative, sure, but it doesn’t make it not stupid
