I’m on it Noah. Thanks brother.

Hey Phil,
As usual, I feel like I have stolen something like a thief in the night. So much value in being a member of Creative Cow. Such a wealth of information. I am not sure what I am happier about, My 5 and 7D and how they have simplified the film making process…. or the wonderful help I receive from knowledgeable chaps like yourself. It’s a comfort to know gentlemen like yourself are out there and so generous and willing to share your experience.
Thank you.
Jared

Hey Norman,
I just posted something for Ron L. Thanks for the info.

Hey Norman,
Creative Cow is still highly respected in the universe of genius bars, but the old adage, “Change or Die” seems to be coming more and more applicable. In my opinion, the subject of ‘imagery’ is what Creative Cow should embrace, whether those images come in a single frame per second or 24 FPS. I understand the ambivalence. I was a wedding photographer shooting Bronica SQA for almost two decades, refusing to cross over to digital. Eventually I saw the light, albeit at far too late a date.

RE: Workload
Yeah, I am inundated. I mustn’t complain though. You know how it is in this business. Feast and famine. After this row of contracts I’ll probably go another 6 months without a blip on the radar.

Hey Norman,
Thanks for the advice. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I am 4 projects deep for the same client (commercial, industrial, website). My family doesn’t see much of me these days. I did want to take a minute though and thank you for taking the time to offer your opinion.

Thanks J.S.. A guy can hope.

I may have more faith than you. I think I’d rather wait for a gold nugget from CC, than wade through a motherlode of fools gold from some other site. Where’s your faith man?

Hey Michael,
Oh I understood Noah’s good intentions and I appreciate them. Here’s something to think about though. With video productions regularly incorporating slides, and still images during the editing process…… and now to have a series of cameras by Canon (5D included) that allow a creative to execute both types of image creation during the same day of production…..I think the question is an appropriate one and maybe even for this forum. Like Noah, I am a commercial director with national commercials to my credit, but I also have almost two decades of still experience as a Wedding Photographer. I would hate to think I would have to go somewhere else other than Creative Cow for my 5D ‘still photography’ brain picking. I would be willing to wager that there are a lot of other creatives in my shoes.

Hey Noah,
Actually it’s a dual purpose camera. I thought that maybe some other Creative Cow user might have purchased the camera with the same intent as I. I think I could benefit from still image production advice given by a fellow videographer. The lines are blurring Noah.
Jared

BTW, is Creative Cow only for Videography? If so, I think it would be cool if maybe they broadened the forum choices. I could see a not to distant future where creatives everywhere test the waters of new technologies as a result of ever decreasing cost.

Hey Richard,
Between yourself, Phil, Michael and the rest of you pros, I have been given as much advice as a guy could hope for. My first purchase will be the 7D and relative kit. In a few months time I will add the 5D body. Can’t thank you all enough.
