Canon 7D Footage is Getting Good
We’ve scoured the web and found some of the best looking 7D footage we have seen to date.
“The Bridge” is a short film being shot on the Canon 7D, 5D Mark II and 550D T2i. You can view the Canon T2i clip here. Here is what they say about working around the jello effect and aliasing:
Although the 5DM2 and 7D have been a god-send for my film, it’s not without problems. I’ve already mentioned the rolling shutter earlier and I’ve limited the issue by purchasing IS lenses, a monopod, and a Steadicam Merlin. The “jello-effect”, as bad as it is, I can work around with and deal with. My biggest problem with these cameras is the moire or “aliasing”. I’ve had to throw shots out completely because it rears its ugly neck and as of now, there isn’t really a workaround or fix for it. You can hide it with some depth-of-field trickery but if you require a wide-shot, all you can do is cross your fingers and hope it doesn’t show up anywhere in your shot. If it does, you either throw it out or live with it, I’ve done both.
