Reverie by: Vincent Laforet – Fabulous Video!

Vincent just keeps amazing me with his production talent behind the video camera… errr… or should I say his extreme talent behind the Canon 5D MKII!

Vincent’s website was burned out earlier this week with a phenomenal video named “Lights Out, Camera, Action By: Vincent Laforet” but it was, the video was truely extreme! That video was filmed with a Canon 1D MKIV and it was filmed outdoors to test it at night. Vincent wanted to test out the stability and also how it would handle in natural ambient light. Enough of that, too much to type… go and peep his blog post on the video and hopefully it will be back up due to legality issues… eh, what ya expect, these corporate companies are anal sometimes but in the end you end up doing fantastic stuff like commercials and promotional stuff too.

Heres the link to the blog post >> Lights Out, Camera, Action

By the way, Vincent, if you read this… Thanks for inspiring me with your killer video edge!
