SHOT on 7D: SNL's Opening Sequence

via Phillip Bloom & Engadget & Variety

When SNL  DP Alex Buono saw Philip Bloom's Dublin's People short he was so impressed he decided to shoot the entire 35th Season Opening Sequence on the 7D.

Beyond the sequence, Buono used both the 5D and 7D to shoot segments throughout the season. Engadget's example is the faux-mercial for "Bladivan" below.

"That's a big win for this new breed of video cameras -- and while we're stoked to see new tech take over the old"
