5D Mark II 24P workkflow with Philip Bloom

Recorded at the FCPUG London Supermeet, June 25, 2009.

UK based DOP, Editor and Director, Philip Bloom, runs through converting frame rates with footage shot using the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

The release of the 5D Mark II has caused a storm in the video community. A still camera which shoots 1080P video with the benefits of a full-frame sensor and interchangeable lenses - this camera has excited the minds and imaginations of professionals and independents the world over.

However, there are limitations to what this camera can do.

The most obvious limitation is the camera will only shoot at 30 frames per second. The represents an awkward frame-rate, unsuitable for television or cinema, regardless of whether you live in PAL or NTSC country.

The solution is to convert the frame-rate to that which is needed for the project you are producing.

Philip shows how this can be achieved using Cinema Tools, Compressor, or by using other apps. which enables one to integrate the converted footage into any project.

See high-res examples of the footage converted in Philip's demo at Philip's website or in HD at Exposure Room.
