First attempt right out of the box, with PC editing.
Hey Marteen! I have not had a ton of time to get going on video, but here are a couple links that you might like

Hey guy’s
Thanks, I know there’s a lot of info on youtube etc. but I would really like to hear some of your thoughts! Maybe it’s me but I think those shoulder rig’s are very expensive! I’ll keep trying to find something good and affordable. Chase jarvis has some cool stuff on youtube b.t.w!

Hi Maarten,
I have a fair bit of experience shooting video with the Canon 5DII and 7D – in fact our upcoming tarpon movie was shot almost exclusively with these two cameras.
– We used follow focus rigs from Half Inch Rails – very affordable compared to many other options. I put a short review here:
http://www.cinema5d.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=15517– I also recommend the LCDVF (viewfinder). It works a treat and is much cheaper than the Zacuto.
– Get yourself some variable ND filters, they are indispensable for DSLR video.
– cinema5d.com has a wealth of information. Understanding the basics (180 degree shutter rule, etc.) is important for good results.
– The Røde Videomic is a great, affordable microphone.
Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.
Jan 🙂
