Filmmaker ScottDW trades his pro video gear for Canon EOS 80D: Watch the results

19 Dec

What happens when you swap out a video pro’s cinema-grade gear with a Canon EOS 80D?

Filmmaker ScottDW found out, when he put down his usual pro kit and picked up the 80D to shoot an installment of his High School Dance Off video series.

ScottDW is a professional filmmaker with over 880,000 YouTube fans

ScottDW put Canon’s Video Creator Kit to use filming the short. The bundle was introduced alongside the 80D and includes a Rode directional microphone along with a power zoom adapter for the camera’s 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens. Take a look at how it all came together in the video above.

The Canon 80D offers a touch screen, handy for things like AF point selection

Though you won’t find any choreographed dance routines, you can also check out the 80D’s performance in DPReview’s video feature Barney Builds a Boat.

Reasoning that a full-time train pass costs less than an apartment, a 23-year-old German writer and student has exchanged her life in a fixed location for one in perpetual motion. At the equivalent of $ 380 a month, she can catch a ride anytime day or night, and much more comfortably than other contemporary high-tech hobos.

Everything Leonie Müller needs travels with her in a single backpack, making it easy to switch rides or catch the overnight rail, washing up in the onboard restrooms. In a strange reversal of convention, it is cheaper for her to use her pass and sleep aboard than to stay in one place.

Europe’s extensive train network, most impressive (and consistently on time) in Germany, provides various speeds of travel and connections to just about any town or city, enabling Leonie to visit friends or crash with family without much effort or planning.

The move (or: moving) be permanent, but for now the costs and lifestyle make sense to her and provides material for her thesis project on nomadic living. She writes papers for school and posts for her blog while riding, and recommends noise-cancelling headphones for those who would follow her footsteps (or rail tracks, as it were).
