You know how there's a constant debate about which equipment is best and so on, well, take a look at this clip here:-

My initial take was that the guy had the FPS too low (8fps) but it was very watchable, until I realized, this was shot with one of those still cameras with video function. Amazing.

That has been around for a while, it was shot on a Canon 20D I believe. Of course it gives you near 35mm DOF (1.6X crop) and 8+ megapixels images. I have done some of this myself in music videos. You can shoot in about 5 second bursts, then you have to let the camera rest for a second or two.

yeah I thought it was pretty dumb, isnt that what a video cam does? Takes stills? it was an interesting concept, but I though it was a waste
 
it felt like a normal student film, guy sees girl and finds her later. I think the choppy feel makes it stand out so I will give him that. I like it. I would like to see his work with a video camera.
 
This is such a great piece. Full kudos to its creator. Its great to see someone exploring the boundaries between photography and film. It reminds me of the first time I saw Michael Snow's walking woman series.
