House finale shot with only a Canon 5D camera - Polidicks

Yes ladies and gentlemen, this season's House finale epsiode 9which airs sometime in May) is shot using only a Canon 5D. This thing: [img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51EEHMQAAEL._SL500_AA300_.jpg[/img] Source: [url]http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/canon-5d-mark-ii-used-to-shoot-entire-house-season-finale-direc/[/url] [img]http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/04/13apr10house085324.jpg[/img]

put the news story in quotes

Wow, That's quite a massive change to what they usually would use to shoot them. Seems odd and out of place.

This should be interesting even though I don't watch House

Well that just doesn't sound convenient at all.

Damnit, I can't even see in 4D yet. This is just asking too much.

That's crazy like, Avatar 2 should be shot with only one of these, we shall see how good it is then.

It'll be shot from the perspective of someone who's using a camera. The patient.

But... Why ?

I guess the idea is that some patient records their time in the hospital or House just uses it to piss everyone off.

House. Road house.

If anyone is in doubt of the 5D's capabilities, do a search for Canon 5D on Vimeo.

Sounds like an atempt to be different, it's not going to be something they throw together in two minutes, I'm pretty sure they're actually going to think about the cinematography, and on that, the quality shouldn't suffer TOO dramaticaly.

I love shooting with the 5D Mark II! We use this contraption at the place I intern at..

Crank 2 was done with small cheap cameras also. I don't really see why House being shot with a small camera is really news myself?

[QUOTE=Emz;21331686]Crank 2 was done with small cheap cameras also. I don't really see why House being shot with a small camera is really news myself?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't call a ~2500 dollar camera cheap

Series or season finale? [editline]04:51PM[/editline] [QUOTE=whatnow V2;21331748]I wouldn't call a ~2500 dollar camera cheap[/QUOTE] A regular camera costs tens of thousands of dollars just to rent.

video camera, huh? I'm talking about a small camera, like the post i quoted said.

[QUOTE=whatnow V2;21331748]I wouldn't call a ~2500 dollar camera cheap[/QUOTE] It actually is really really really low budget.. A regular broadcast camera will set you back around 60K (that's body and a lens). And that doesnt even come close to the resolution that is used when shooting on film :-/

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;21331749]Series or season finale? [editline]04:51PM[/editline] A regular camera costs tens of thousands of dollars just to rent.[/QUOTE] Season. House is too good to end. Not until House becomes too old to act.

[QUOTE=whatnow V2;21331768]video camera, huh?

[editline]04:55PM[/editline] [QUOTE=TheMetalMan;21331824]Season. House is too good to end.

Atleast they gave it a shot.

I hope they work the camera into the case somehow "the patient has early-onset glastoblastomitis from the plastic in the camera!!"

Season finale after only 9 episodes? Lost gets in like...20 before ending a season
