After seeing Slumdog Millionaire this winter, knowing that some shots had been filmed with the Canon D5 Mark II, I asked Olivier Garcia, (a vision engineer, with whom I work when I shoot digital), to test this device. We filmed a few shots in Paris, which we watched in the big DI room at Digimage with Laurent and Guillaume. Despite many flaws, the Canon, thanks to its large sensor, proved very interesting, and greatly impressed us.
I shot Renaud Bertrand’s film, Just the Three of Us (produced by Fabio Conversi at Babe Films). When I arrived on the project, the decision had already been made to shoot in HD, but we still needed to determine which camera use!
