When marketing goes nuclear…

Scarcity plus Christmas plus social pressure plus greed plus kids = critical mass.
I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry on what this video is telling us.
The most disturbing part is about 3 minutes in…
What do you think?

5D mkII Shipping – More HD video love
Posted by Dean Bradshaw | Filed under GEAR
So, the much awaited 5D mkII is now available in China and Hong Kong, and is beginning to to ship to those who put their names down first on the uber long preorder lists in the states.
Australia isn’t far behind, with rumour being that Canon is shipping a handful of units (some say as few as 150) around Australia as soon as today.
I’m hoping to have mine at least by early next week!
Since my last post, a number of new, well produced films shot with the 5D mkII have surfaced. First up is a large production Korean adaptation of Reverie and secondly we have some journalistic stlye footage of Beijing.
Enjoy!
EOS 5D Mark2 Movi – Prism from chador on Vimeo.
Canon EOS5DmkII, One night in Beijing. from Dan Chung on Vimeo.
Both of these movies allow Vimeo members to download the originals for closer inspection, which is worth doing as Vimeo tops out at 24 fps for HD. That means these 30 fps movies are getting a crappy 24p conversion when Vimeo compresses them, which hides some of the 30p smoothness, but not in a good way.

The future of video is coming: RED Scarlet
Posted by Dean Bradshaw | Filed under GEAR
Imagine if a Canon 5d could shoot video – then imagine it shot that video in a RAW format.
Then imagine this figurative camera came in at under US$3000 and could fit in your coat pocket.
You have in your mind, something similar to the eagerly anticipated RED Scarlet HD camera projected for release in early 2009.
This little beast, a derivative of it hefty older brother, the RED One, is going to change the way we think of video.
check it:
Among the juiciest tidbits: Ted likens the battle between “regular” HD camcorders versus 3K and 4k Red cameras to cell phone cameras versus SLRs. Damn!
“I talk very publicly and very bluntly about what our camera is, and it is essentially, a digital still camera that can shoot video,” RED’s Ted Schilowitz told Maria during an interview at NAB. “It doesn’t think like a video camera at all.”
In typical RED fashion, the only promises about the final product is that “specifications, delivery dates and design are subject to change… count on it,” but this is certainly a good start.

Flip-book style shooting – Canon XSi Ad
Posted by Dean Bradshaw | Filed under Advertising, GEAR, Multimedia
Check out this awesome video put together for an ad promoting the new Canon XSi/450D running in the US. Apparently 70,000 images were shot, funnily enough all on the 10fps capable Canon 1D MKIII…
Awesome idea, and reminds me of one of the more innovative media presentations i’ve seen:
