We managed to get our hands on the hot new Canon 5D Mark II camera and put it through the paces. This is an extraordinary hybrid DSLR. The 1920×1080 HD movies produced by this camera are jaw dropping. While the lack of manual controls in movie mode and the poor audio quality leave a lot to be desired, the visual clarity and film-like depth of field are sheer awe inspiring. I haven’t been this excited about a still camera since the early 90’s when I got my plastic …

It looked like a nice blend of Avid/Premiere-style non-linear editing and After Effects-style keyframing, two programs I had picked up in their 1.0 versions and used for tons of projects.

In February of 1999, my …
