I don't think (but can only hope not) that providing video on top of photos would become an assumed part of a photographer's job at a wedding. I definitely think there are going to be people that try to set themselves apart from the competition by offering such services, but I guess time will in seeing how widespread this becomes!dannyRODhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17275612704236973426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-15306650411873975042008-09-24T21:30:00.000-04:002008-09-24T21:30:00.000-04:00@ Jack and Brenda:I agree that not everyone will b...@ Jack and Brenda:<BR/><BR/>I agree that not everyone will be able to produce the same caliber of video as Vincent did, but as stated in his video description, the only additional lighting equipment used was the modeling light of a strobe . . . not 10's of thousands of dollars worth of lighting. He only had 72 hours to throw this together and it sounded like it was mostly off the cuff.

How is HD video on the D90 and 5DMkII going to change the expectations of tomorrow's bride? Will photographers have to also be videographers, or will videographers, who already have the eye, start to get more of the action? Just curious what your thoughts are.Guided Light Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01340271190963535290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-20793185264604356802008-09-24T12:37:00.000-04:002008-09-24T12:37:00.000-04:00From what I read, you can use autofocus to begin a...From what I read, you can use autofocus to begin a video, but the focus won't change while you are taping. You can see in the sample video the the videoprapher used mostly constant distance from the subjects. In one scene, he prefocused in the foreground and the subject stepped out of the "out of focus" car and moved into the predetermined spot of focus. I'm not discounting the camera or it's ability to creat great films, but it will come with a learning curve.Jack and Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634615143320657435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-78984792662878915702008-09-24T12:36:00.000-04:002008-09-24T12:36:00.000-04:00I'm super amped about the MKII Can wait to get min...I'm super amped about the MKII Can wait to get mine.

There should of been a disclaimer at the end that states "Your results may vary". I'm sure this is a great camera and the video will be a nice option, but I think that not having autofocus in video mode will seperate the photographers from the videographers.<BR/> Also, a 15 second video will be 165MB of decompressed video on your computer. That's 1GB for every 90 seconds of film. That won't be a problem with a speed demon computer, but everyone doesn't have one of those. I realize that this is an option that will be on most future cameras, and like all things, it has to start somewhere.Jack and Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634615143320657435noreply@blogger.com
