The 5DMKII does have some serious problems with rolling shutter. But every camera has its limitations. From a technical shooting standpoint its about knowing what those limitations are, finding ways to avoid them and concentrating more on the strengths that the camera offers. And the 5DMKII has many strengths. Without getting into a lengthy conversation that’s the best way I can describe my process. There are no big secrets. Just knowing the camera. I hope that helps.

The tilt shift was with the Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8. None done in post.

Wow, his photos were really powerful, especially in b & w.
It made me appreciate the art of landscape photography.
And the video it self was great; the tilt-shift view was nice and didnt feel overused.

Stunning. I am in awe. The cinematography, soundtrack, and Michael’s imagery all complement each other superbly. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Good question. There are only a couple shots that are staged. It was very important to me to let Michael work as he would without me being there.

wow, I gotta say, I thought the video/music/editing really, REALLY emphasized how awesome those pictures were…

This video made me want to try out a tilt-shift lens as well as a Hasselblad… but realistically I’ll probably buy a ND filter since I live in real life.

Great inspirational, promotional piece. Great photography and great video & audio…
wondering how much “acting” there is versus just documenting the photographer doing his thing…curious about that aspect.

thanks
