What's the world coming too, really? Not only did we see the first official presidential portrait shot with a DSLR this year, but we're also seeing the first feature film to be entirely shot on one as well. Searching For Sonny has grabbed the rights to that latter claim, a little ditty written and directed by one Andrew Disney. As expected, we have Canon's almighty EOS 5D Mark II to thank, though Nikon fanboys will surely love that their lenses were used. Head past the break for a sneak peek, and hit up the read link on April 15th for the full trailer. Indie filmmakers, this is the break you've been waiting for -- don't screw it up.
as a 5d mark ii user, this looks exactly like i thought it would. lots of play on focus to work with the very shallow depth of field the 5d has while shooting video. it will be interesting to see how many scenes make it into the movie that are using the manual focus. I saw a few scenes in the trailer, but nothing that had a lot of movement. when canon implements AF for movie mode in the next rev, this could has some real promise.
