My first shoot with the 5D3...

...and it wound up being nationally televised. Nothing big to many people, but heck, it's my first so I'm going to stay excited, dang it.

Very very simple player profile :30 ad bit for AFI, televised during the Under Armour All America Game on ESPN. InterSport Chicago handled all the pre- and post-production. Production itself (my bit) was pretty spartan: a pair of 5D3's, 24-105, 70-200/4, my Lowell DV Creator 55 kit, and a few reflectors, with a second camera op and sound recordist (with gear) for the interviews. We had very specific interview angle requests, and one conference room for all three indoor interviews with a desire for three different looks, so the hardest part of the job was all the interior decorating ;)

I can't say I utilized the 5D3 to its fullest on the game footage, at all... or probably on any other part of the thing... but I enjoyed getting to play with the Mk3 and wasn't thoroughly disappointed in what we produced. So far as I can tell no grading was done on the footage for the final piece.
 
Congratulations!

"First shoot with the 5D3" story: Moving from the 7D to the 5D3, I was really confused about where the focus assist zoom was...did my whole first shoot squinting realllly hard at the tiny screen. Then my friend finds it for me, its the button with the magnifying glass on it to the left of the screen. I felt like the stupids.
