Canon 5D mIII video test
The video above was shot with canon 5D markII. I'm planing to do Canon 5D mark III test video end to end (including grading)with full crew on March 26-30. I will have mark II on hand as well to do comparison shots. All the glass will be Leica or Canon L or Zeiss CP.2.
Do you have any suggestions on what you would like to see in the test? I will try and perform all the tests you may suggest and post the results here as well and post original files somewhere online.
Thanks for suggestions.

The Great Something - a Kickstarter film project
The Great Something is a short 30-40 minute comedy/drama film about two life-long friends, Peter and Michael, who have their friendship tested when Michael convinces Peter to go on a hunt for missing Civil War treasure.
Having found an old journal by a Civil War Army Major who stole his camp's supply money and deserted his post, Michael “persuades” Peter to go on a grand chase to find the missing money. What Peter doesn't realize is that Michael has a motive to finding the treasure. Once Peter discovers the truth about Michael's plan, it creates a rift, albeit a hilarious one, between the friends. Will their friendship survive this test? Find out by helping us get the movie made!
Pre-production is currently underway. Once funding is complete, auditions will commence in the spring with a target production start date of early Summer 2012.
While we are no strangers to making short films, we would like to expand on what we normally do and try something different and exciting.
We understand the time and effort it takes to make a movie thus the reason we are looking to Kickstarter to make our project happen. While only consisting of 3 people in our small production company, our love of making movies drives us to make this project a reality.
