Recently we purchased the new Canon 7D camera as both a photography tool as well as a video camera. We've been researching this camera for quite some time and it has proven itself in the field and the footage that comes off of it is amazing.
This past weekend, we really got to put it through the paces shooting for another company and their client while in Peoria, Ill. This was 2 solid days of shooting with a producer that had worked with this camera many times and really knew the shots he wanted.
WOW, that is about all we can say. Shooting in 720p/60fps was absolutely amazing. The lenses on the camera gave us a huge range to work with, the colors are brilliant and you can make adjustments to get any look you want, warm, cool, rough etc. And the depth of field was fantastic. It really is a a natural film look that you just cannot achieve with a traditional video camera.
We will be posting links to videos shot with this camera very soon so keep checking back to see some of the work that we get to do here.
Monday and Tuesday of this week, our very own, Shannon Appleby was asked to produce the www.Iowagetonline.com sizzle video for Googlein Ankey, Iowa. This event is being done in every state across the country to help small businesses get online and Shannon was contracted by Pro Video in Cedar Rapids, IA. to be the Producer of the video.
What does a Producer do? The producer is the person responsible for making sure that the right equipment is chosen and brought along, the Producer does the interviews with the on-camera guest or talent, and they also decide the look and setup of the shots. The Producer is responsible for making sure that it all comes together in the end.
The event was a huge success with over 500 people attending over 2 days and setting up their own FREE website with the help of Intuit representatives and online software. The Googlers on hand helped individuals to learn more about Google Adwords and Google Places and helped them setup accounts to get started.
Also on hand were many supporting partners such as the Des Moine SCORE representatives to assist these newly started businesses as well as seasoned businesses that have been around for years. There is still time to attend one of these events, check out www.Iowagetonline.com to see the other upcoming events in Iowa.
One of the biggest suprises from the 2 days was what Shannon found out as for statistics... According to Google and the State of Iowa numbers, over 59% of Iowa businesses are still not on the internet with any kind of digital presences. This means that 6 out of 10 businesses are still not reaching their potential with customers that are looking for their goods and services on the internet.
