Yes the camera is ‘a stills camera’, a Canon 5D Mk2. It’s a real pain to make into a workable video camera as just about everything for operating like a true video camera is ‘wrong’…camera balance, viewing, focus, zoom controls and sound…all have to be addressed before you stand any chance of getting the sort of video that a dedicated video camera gives. However its greatest plus point is it’s wonderful ‘cinematic’ picture quality. That’s mainly due to the ‘full size’ (ie 35mm) sensor and the depth of field that comes from the sensor size and those stills camera lenses.
I am ‘behind the fence’ and not airside like Iain Campbell and his PlanesTV guys or Steven Connor (FlyingMachinesTV). Very envious of that…but then they are trying to make money out of DVD’s and I’m not.
You’ll see the focus issues I have in part two, as I’m leaving in some of my ‘throwing focus’ shots since in the end I don’t think they detract too much in what will only be a ‘single viewing experience’ for everyone and not like a DVD that you view repeatably.
