Blog 12 – Canon 5D mark 2 used in blockbuster movie “The Avengers”
Hello all,
For years now, Look Productions has been utilizing the latest in video technology. One of the main cameras we chose to use is the Canon 5DMArk2 for it’s amazing image quality, coupled with its compact form factor. This camera delivers incredibly beautiful images due, in no small part, to its full frame sensor and low light capabilities. For years now, this camera model, as well as several other DSLR cameras, have garnered much attention by the video community as well as, the hollywood film industry. These cameras have revolutionized the industry by bringing production costs down and allowing more people access to supreme video quality with a filmic appearance.
Recently, we posted an article on the release of the much anticipated 5DMark3, which packs even more features into an already powerful machine. That being said, like many new releases, there are often adjustments to be made to the initially released models and the 5D mark 3 is no exception. So far, a few issues have been reported but Im sure Canon will resolve them quickly, as was the case with the original 5D2.
Today, 4 years or so after its release, the previous generation 5DMArk2 is still making waves and impressing people everywhere. The latest demonstration of its prowess has been seen in the blockbuster hit “The avengers”, which has already raked in over 1 billion$ worldwide and is 1 of only 11 movie in history to reach that level of success at the box office. Although that’s an incredible feat, what we’re truly excited about is hearing that our beloved 5DMark 2 was used in several action and stunt scenes in the film. Now, for a film of that magnitude, their options for gear is practically endless, as is their budget to acquire whatever the director choses. For them to chose a camera that costs under 3K, is a pretty amazing thing, in our humble opinion. Confirming yet again, that these very powerful machines garner the respect of professionals and movie goers all over the world.
