The Canon EOS 5D Mark II officially retails for a bit more than $6.00 (MPC).
A basic kit of prime lenses—specifically the 24mm, 50mm, and 135mm—will run you about $12.

So, you're looking at roughly $18 total if you're trying to chase down a look similar to the one in the film Free 🙂.

We ended up burning through about 60GB of storage using a mix of 8GB and 4GB cards. You can toss in those massive 100GB cards—the camera handles them just fine—but you're still hitting that 4GB file size limit, which means your longest continuous shot tops out at roughly 12 minutes.

Between all that, we’ve got nearly 200GB of raw footage for a four-minute short film.😁

Thanks, rustywalker42 🙂

Just to clear up any confusion—this camera actually shoots FULL HD video (1920 * 1080p @ 30fps), so we aren't talking about stop-motion or some other gimmick here 🙂

In fact, that specific feature is exactly what sparked a total revolution among indie filmmakers. You end up with high-res digital shots at basically nothing compared to the insane price tag of professional cinema rigs and lighting setups.

BTW—we've already registered the domain www.Free.org and a full website featuring all the supporting materials should be live in a few days.

I’m not sure how closely you all follow the latest shifts in the Photography market, but this specific camera has been the center of almost every conversation over the last few months. It represents a massive leap forward in bridging the gap between stills and video—truly a game-changer. And please, let’s not get carried away with the cynicism; 🙂 come on people, try to show a little enthusiasm instead of all this constant negativity 😉 I love you all 😁

Look, I'll say it again—this was shot with a real camera. Let's just focus on spreading some positive vibes here and stop overthinking everything. 😁

Greetings everyone,

First off, I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year's Day—wishing nothing but the best to you all. In the spirit of the holiday, I’m sharing a short film titled N/A, shot entirely in Indianapolis using nothing but a Canon 5 D mark II.
