Can't say much for the music, but the black and white footage looked good - nice depth of field, and the motion looked fine (as the camera was locked off in most of the shots). But as Tom said over there, the colour was a bit noisy.

Looks good.

The shots do look pretty good. But it's too bad there isn't one moving shot in the entire video. Everything is locked off. Camera movement adds a lot to music videos.

And a lot to the rolling shutter effect of the 5D...

Still ok though. And regarding the ever shrinking budgets it seems not a bad choice at all for smaller music videos. And maybe also commercials.
Definitely cool for indies that want to promote their music over youtube and myspace.

Motion is not a real problem for the 5Dii. People have posted long videos of stuff shot at night, mounted to the handlebars of a moving bicycle, etc. Normal motion is just fine on the camera. That's not where its limitations lie.

I didn't say it was a problem for it. I don't have the camera, so I don't know if it is or not. Don't know if I've seen any clips with faster pans or anything either. I was just saying how the music video itself had no pans or dollies or anything. Kind of makes for a boring video when every single shot is locked off. Everything else about it though was pretty sweet.

I liked it- though it kind of had an ESL feel.

Oh, sorry. My bad. I misread what you were getting at.

Any other Swiss guys that have a 5D near Lucerne?
