Looks nice you might want to try an IS lens if you are going to hand hold or some sort of steady cam just to smooth out the nasty jello jerky stuff

I agree the Jittery footage really takes away..Just smooth it out a bit and you will be good..

An IS lens or a shoulder rig of some kind (I saw quite a bit of rolling shutter). Interesting film, good angles, good job.

[magid1020]

Yeah, I am going to get a rig soon, didn't have one for this shoot.

It was your first short on this camera (as stated in the subject line of this thread). There's always something to be learned whenever you switch to a new system, and you usually don't learn it until after your first project or test shoot. The problem with the DSLR cameras is that they (most of the time) have crazy rolling shutter issues. But you live and you learn. Good luck on your future projects with the 5D. It's truly and amazing tool!
