And looks like you're rocking the web world.<br /><br />And the topper is you worked on The Guild, buddy - you're killing me. Love that show, Felicia Day and that crew are the champs - total inspiration for making it happen.<br /><br />Rock on and be sure to keep us updated!Shiloh Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538295350640000463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020700258185165717.post-27421940980193796072010-05-06T00:26:40.432-07:002010-05-06T00:26:40.432-07:00Hi Strong brothers.

And if I ever fall into a chunk of change, I'll be getting one for myself as well.<br /><br />Personally I really prefer the 5D to the RED, for lots of reasons which probably aren't really worth getting into. Other than I think for the price of the 5D (or the 7D for that matter) you get really a negligible difference from the RED if your main goal is web presentation. Like you mention the RED overshoot, resolution wise, and in my opinion your money is best spent on a 5D and a slew of lenses.<br /><br />In regards to your qualms about the 5D not being able to output to video village. I've seen it done plenty of times. There is the mini HDMI port on the side of the camera and you can even split it off into two signals so you can have a mounted monitor on the camera (since it seems you're using a lens mount anyways) and then a signal to video village as well.<br /><br />Take a look at this forum thread http://www.cinema5d.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3848&start=20<br /><br />I hope that helps.<br /><br />Just wanted to chime in and offer some thoughts about the situation, since it seems like we're all in this together, when it comes to film making and the new world of digital web content.<br /><br />Best of luck to you both.<br /><br />Andrew Seely<br />andrewseely@gmail.com<br />www.andrewseely.comAndrew Seelyhttp://www.andrewseely.comnoreply@blogger.com
