"Nocturne" Canon 1D MK IV Project

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:28:45 -0700

2 Nights - No Lights. Road Trip Films works with renown Stills Photographer Vincent Laforet to create a piece designed to test the Canon 1D MK IV HD-DSLR. Stealthily shot over two nights in downtown LA, using only available light, the camera’s ability to capture images in low light is tested and delivers amazing results. Some techie bits: This camera is different from the Canon 5D MKII in that it shoots 24p, 60 fps (at 720p), and 1080p for Video. But the ISO is the thing. We shot this mostly at 6400 ISO. Amazing.
