I think my little 70D still rocks!

Earlier this year I met up with some musician friends in New Zealand. We were staying at a very remote location with a private beach. Well, after a few beers we decided to shoot an impromptu music vid! All I had was my 70D with kit lenses. I didn't even have a freeking tripod! Just used fence posts, rocks, whatever. Slider shots done using an old bicycle with the camera on the seat. Got lucky doing manual zooms. Minimal grading in post using Filmconvert. Audio with a Zoon H1. Absolutly $0.00 production costs (well, aside from our time and the beer). Came out rather well all things considered. Was pleasantly surprised how the 70D came through!

 
This is one of my favorite songs so I was let down and distracted by the endless walking towards camera, inconsistent images and constant dissolves. To me it would have been much more enjoyable to just watch them perform this song as in the last credit background. Sorry to say.
