The new Canon Cinema EOS
So I went into hock and bought a Canon GL-1 (I couldn't provide an XL-1 then). And shot with it. And learned. Took me a couple of years to pay it off, tv gossip paying peanuts (still pays peanuts, but it is fun).
The music video transaction dried up, but the ideas didn't. I shot everything but the kitchen invest with that GL-1. Eventually I helped shoot a digital feature as shift unit with it. I used it as a deck to cut together demo reels. I snap a couple of horror shorts. I shot weddings. I inducement my newborn eating strained peas. I SHOT. But my imagine was to shoot films. Read that as FILMS. Arriflex and Panavision, Kodak and Fuji. Films.
I sold it to eschew pay for an HDV camera, when HDV was the new thing. I was looking for the Holy Grail of video - a video camera that looked like 35mm blur.
Which brings us to the new Canon. This is what I wanted when I was 24. I watched three shorts and two trailers. All had vigour. Some had serious action. Rolling shutter? I didn't see it. Pans? They are there, but not the rolling shutter. Function shots galore. It looked like Kodak and Fuji.
