Shooting a Feature Film with the C300 Mark II (Part 1 of 4)

Описание: Shooting a Feature Film using the Canon C300 Mark II Part 1 – The Camera

So I wanted to talk about my experience with the C300 Mark II on shooting my first feature film, the indie comedy “The Hollywouldn’ts.”

This is the first (and longest) of four parts in my full in depth review on this gear (Index of video below):

Part 1: In depth with shooting a feature film on the C300 Mark II
Part 2: Shooting with the Zacuto Recoil Rig and the Gratical HD Viewfinder
Part 3: Shooting with Canon Cinema Zooms vs Canon Cinema Primes
Part 4: Shooting “Night for Day” with the C300 Mark II.

Also a link to a fantastic (and far more to the point and pragmatic review) from Tim Fok on the camera: https://www.cinema5d.com/depth-canon-...

Heads up: This is a long video because I wanted to really take the time to talk about why I chose this camera for the film. To help you find what you may be looking for rapidly: here’s an index.
