no shot was up long enough to really scrutinize over this aspect...but I did try and look look and found nothing really. Some an odd aberration or bad edit near the end when the dude bolts out the door.

Dayyuuuuum. I was floored by the sharpness, sensitivity, colors, DoF, etc... but DAYYUUUUUUUUUM, that god damn 30p.
Good thing he went all out with what he shot. Imagine if he posted the kind of test footage that were used to here on dvxuser? More people may be ripping it instead of singing its praises. This was a really great way to debut the 5d. Vincent really dressed up that 30p. Some sexy ass video..... but definitely video.

There was enough movement and vibrations in shots to tell me (an HV30 owner) that it was at least at that level, thank god. D90 RS issues would've been beyond disgusting and intolerable coming from the likes of Canon.

I just watch the behind the scenes video and it appears that they were using a single gyro motor from a steadicam modified to fit the 5d...seems a little backwards to me...and certainly didnt appear to help at all in the heli footage if they used the same set up. I could be wrong about the whole thing though.
I've only seen one example from the D90 and it was like RS city.

The car footage would have been totally unwatchable coming from a D90.
All true. And, now that you mention it, that was a pretty damned expensive "test shoot".
Helicopter rides? Suits? Dresses? Maybe not that expensive.
That footage is waaayyyyy better than 95% percent of the video I've seen on this site!!!!!
Not saying it's the end all complete video camera, But those 35mm adapters suck compared to this 5d footage!!! The sharpness adds a another dimension in depth and clarity.
I hear you on the 24p thing..... But I also think viewers are getting used to HD TV and 30p dosn't look so bad

I'm kinda disappointed you didn't do that with the D90. We only got your bathroom sink and a car ride. ;-)
PFFFT. Better be glad you guys got that! LoL. I'm working a lot, these days, and sadly rarely want to even shoot anything random. I tried to get part of a music video on the d90 but I didn't have time to prep it.
It was, however, very funny to attach the D90 to the RED ONE while operating.
We laughed lots.

kept buffering...dude couldnt hold anything steady to save his life.
did you read the blog? $5K for the shoot: 2K was for the helicopter.
the lighting equipement wasn't cheap nor part of the 5K but he wasn't using continuous lighting. just the modeling lights on his profoto strobes (which is like 5K per head)..

Depends on what they are watching. Most HD TV content originates in 24fps...cept for sporting events and news.
Profoto is a strobe. Maybe he used that in some of the shots. He was just using a portable LED right? Anyhow he certainly saved cash on the lighting. I mean how could you conventionally light the opening helicopter shot where we see a reflection of the city in his glasses for less than 5K or 10K if at all?
Anyway I see the debate about 24P as academic - not because it doesn't matter but just that at some point in 2009 it WILL come - but what we get now and what really really excites me is 14bit color depth and 3200 ISO. As I said before this is like the fabled Andromeda HVX project accept better because we have less light loss.

the budget was way over what they say it was
you don't advertise a 2600 camera with a 10k budget.
you pay at least 100k for that
Just telling ya what I read.
I hear you on the money.... I live on Advertising dollars. I don't think this one went down like that. Sounds like he did it on spec. Making his money after Canon bought into it.
