Is there a way to keep the Grid Display visible during recording on the 5D?

I am editing my first short film, My question pertains to color correction. The project is being edited in Prem Pro CS5. I am famliar with the mechanics of using the color correction tools. What I really need to know is - what is the process for keeping a standard color look or signature...

I have the opportunity to do something I have wanted to do for a long time and that is shoot an era peice. Aiming for late 40's. I have been researching tips and techniques that would help me replicate the old B&W film look best as I possibly can. I will be using my Canon 5D mkII. We will be...

I saw a post similar to this but not exactly: I have a pretty nice rig but am looking for parts to customize. For example - I would like to find clamps such as the one pictured but that are made for 3 tubes as opposed to 2. Also looking for other parts such as right angle connectors and such. I...

I have had my 5D for about 3 months and have used it on many projects. I love it. Upon recomendation of those that have used the 5D longer than myself, I have aquired a collection of older fast Nikon prime lenses. (Manual focus). They produce an awesome image in any application I have used them...

There is an effect that I have seen used lately that I would like to determine how it was done and emulate. The best way to describe it is it makes real video look like toys. It has been used in new Toyota commercials and most recently the begining of the New Sherlock Holmes series on PBS...

Does anyone know where I might find a cross reference chart that shows what type brand lens can be mounted to different camera brands? I have a new 5D and I am starting my collection of prime lenses. I have a EOS/Nikon adapter and have my first lens which is an older non AF Nikon 50mm 1.8. I...

I have recently begun shooting with my D5. When I am editing the .MOVs in premiere CS4 and do a render preview, the video in the preview monitor stretches and goes all outta whack. Do I need to change the format of the .MOVs before editing? Any ideas? THX, C

Never thought I would go DSLR for my next video camera but after seeing it used on a short film shoot a week ago with the footage it creates, I had to get it. I was going to hold out for the Panasonic AGF cam that is scheduled for release in December but decided to go with the Canon D5. After...
