I know you want more than just amazing footage, but I saw this and immediately thought of how you loves to shoot faces and how you might enjoy this. There are a number of shots in this video that are simply breathtaking. The playback speed is perfect for this story. Not sure of many of the details on the type of camera or rig used, but apparently several other photographers including Zack Arias recommended watching it.

Just stumbled upon a new short some friends of mine shot a few weeks ago … I think the idea is great, and the execution is just brilliant … please take some minutes to watch it, I’m sure you’ll agree – it would be a great addition to CRITICS:

It’s called “THE LIGHT”:

I would like to suggest a slightly different idea. Instead of reviewing random videos, please consider reviewing videos submitted for the Dorito “Crash the Super Bowl Contest”. I just happened to stumble upon it and found there were a few good ones and many bad ones. You can also search vimeo and find submissions by camera type. For instance, the one I found shot with a Red was not in the same league as last years winner, and supports your ongoing comment about technique and content.

The official website is: http://www.crashthesuperbowl.com
The Herbert Brothers one this year and they talk about their effort and show their ad in this video:

They created this one 3 years ago: http://vimeo.com/129205

My favorite is: http://vimeo.com/6840611
It combines Steve’s beginning, middle, and end plus humor, fantasy, T&A

I think this one starts off great but finishes a little weak:

Funny and campy: http://vimeo.com/2355150

And since you talked about using high speed cameras, here is one that has a good kernel of an idea but needs to be fleshed out:

Here is the one shot with a Red:

You can come to your own conclusion in comparing to this one on a Red:
http://vimeo.com/2828094

Having an EX1 and a 5D MkII: http://vimeo.com/4054816 I think has a weaker story then the 3 following shot with a Canon HV.

Now compare it to this one shot with an HV20:
http://vimeo.com/4401684

Or even this one with an HV20 that I think starts strong but…:
http://vimeo.com/2265246

Or this HV20 one:

Maybe you could conclude the Webisode with ideas or suggestions for people entering this year.

Thanks for your consideration!
