I’m not sure why anyone would do this, but here you go… Oli Kember posted this video where he appears to take a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, burns it and then takes a hammer to it. Stunt? Publicity? or was the camera a fake or not working? Oli isn’t telling. 5D Mark iii Announced [...]

Cruising thru email the other day, I found this note sent in by Steve Daniels who shared his latest Canon EOS 5D Mark II film “Dirty Silverware” which really grabbed me – so of course I asked him to tell us more about the project (I had to twist his arm! HA) and he sent [...]

Good friend of planet5D Mario (inCINErate films) created this hauntingly tough short – so be warned, for some people (parents) this can be hard to watch – but the key is how well we’re pulled into the movie. This story is told so well, I almost turned it off twice… so strong are the emotions [...]
