I have just got hold of 720p versions of the 3 spots of “Voices of Change”. The commercial I shot in India for Greenpeace using the Canon 5dmkII. Lucy Campbell-Jackson has also told me it will now be shown on more channels than originally planned reach an audience of 950 million. That’s pretty cool!
Thanks to Greenpeace for letting me show these. Here is link to blog with more info.
So here they are the 90,60 and 30 second spots.

Thank you so much for your work and insights into the new world of possibilities with the Canon 5Mk2…
And for the message.

October 15, 2009 at 10:21I love this footage. In my opinion the 5D footage stomps all over the 7D because of it’s full frame capability with lenses and low light performance. I have the GH1 and 5D and the GH1 really is made to look like a cheap camcorder when up against the 5D, which says a lot.

October 15, 2009 at 10:50Damn. These vids are so good Philip. Slick as f**k.
If you had to shoot these again would you still use the 5D or would plump for the 7D instead?

October 15, 2009 at 14:17Excellent vids! Incredible footage! Very nicely edited and graded.
Why greenpeace didn’t let you to grade the footage but ask Ronin to do that?
950 million viewers! You are da man!

October 15, 2009 at 16:36Philip, in your opinion would this footage have been possible to similar standard by using a GH1, or would the codec have stuffed it up?
For video journalist work would you choose the 5D, 7D or GH1? Cheers – Andrew

October 15, 2009 at 20:16Thx to your pioneering work, we’ll be using the 5D and 7D for the short ‘Man on the Street’ series for our site. Big budget look for reasonable price in our opinion..

October 15, 2009 at 21:16Thanks very much. When does your man on the street series start?

October 15, 2009 at 20:40Looks even better in HD. Might as well round the viewers up to a nice round Billion.

October 16, 2009 at 18:52Phillip – What was your audio setup for the audio narrative?
I don’t see a lav and the audio seems to good to have been done with an on camera mic.

October 17, 2009 at 12:11Hi Cliff, it’s covered in the previous blog posts on this. But sound was a wireless Lav recorded using a Zoom H4N. I always hide mics. Hate seeing them.

October 24, 2009 at 12:36Hey Phil,
Your work without a doubt is paving the way for people like me to shoot these types of things with a hybrid.
Keep on rocking!

November 23, 2009 at 17:21These all look absolutely stunning. I’m in the middle of shooting my first Canon 5D Mk2 short and am currently sitting at my desk converting h.264 to pro res in line with your article. Thanks for the tips!
