The Smart Set “Tornados” Music Video on the Canon 5D Mark II
Last week I directed the first music video for a great new band called, The Smart Set. The song is called “Tornados” and it sounds like it is right out of an Apple ad. Super excited, the edit is just underway. The DP was my good friend Marcus Hoffman. Thanks to everyone who helped out, filmmaking is truly a collaborative process and I appreciate everyone.
We shot with the new Canon firmware on 5D Mark II with 14mm, 50mm and 85mm primes and 24-70mm and 70-200mm zooms. We brought out all the toys to give the camera a good work through. I’ve owned it for a few months but haven’t really had the time to use the video function. So I was eager to bring it out on set. We had our challenges. More on that later. Some sample footage soon to come.
Check out the band on their myspace page.
