Murmurations: My First Canon 5D Mark II HD Video

Watch this video in HD on Vimeo

Inspired by my documentary photography project 'Starlings Above’; this short film entitled ‘Murmurations’ is my first attempt at shooting and editing 1080p HD video with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. As I mentioned in my previous blog post ‘Passing Conversations’, adjusting to capturing HD video on a digital SLR does take a bit of getting used too. For my first venture into video production I kept things as simple as possible. I chose a subject and location that I knew well (in this case, Blackpool beach and starlings) and stuck with a static camera on a tripod. All of the footage was shot during the past couple of weeks and was edited using iMovie 09.

I must say a huge thank you to Raikes Parade for allowing me to use a shortened edit of his wonderful track ‘On The Clock Face’ as the soundtrack to this short film.
