I’ve been doing a lot of promos at KPRC recently, but haven’t had any new video to post. Most of my stuff lately has had a lot of NBC footage, and is more ‘day turn’ sort of stuff anyway. Well, I finally have something blogworthy. Here’s one promo from a series of new spots promoting KPRC’s kick-ass investigative unit, Local 2 Investigates.
Did I mention this was all shot on my still camera? Aww yeah, 5D2 FTW!
There’s also an alternate version of this spot, with just the announcer speaking (and a really-alternative version that I’m hoping gets approved), and also each of the reporters has their own shorter personalized promo.
With all the cool 3D animations and Lensbaby HD video aside, my favorite part has got to be the ’street posters’ of the gang. My boss thought of it when we were out scouting locations for the shoot, and it worked out really well. Now I have three giant posters of the gang looming over me in my office, keeping watchful eye over my internet usage.

Awesome.
Your STILL camera?!
Dam Awesome.
I am officially a Canon 5D2 fan and I really want one. Great footage….was there any color correction or special effects filters added in post? What kind of lens did you use? Thanks for posting.
I used the following lenses – none of them costing over $250:
Lensbaby Composer – for the selective focus/blurry shots.
Canon EF 20mm – for wide angle shots.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4
I only color corrected 3-4 shots because they were a little ‘colder’ than some of the other footage we shot the following day (Robert knocking on the door, walking around the corner).
I added all of the “analog signal noise/bad TV” stuff in Final Cut Pro, but all of the dreamy/blurry sots were done in-camera with the Lensbaby.
