LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. In this week’s episode, Dave interviews film maker Shane Hurlbut. Shane is the pioneering leader of the team who first recognized the creative possibilities of the Canon 5D Mark II camera for shooting film. He has described it as a “game changer” because the platform is uniquely suited to both commercials and features due to its small size and infinite versatility.
A wonderful sense of humor and memorable personality are Shane’s most endearing traits. He is passionate about making moving images come to life, thinks quickly to generate a solution to the myriad of challenges that arise when shooting and is always able to make it work.
In this episode, Shane talks about his background, how he became interested in film making, the first project that he used the HD DSLR’s on, initial problems, unexpected surprises, hardware that had to be invented to use them, and projects that he’s currently working on. In addition, he covers how these cameras are going to change not only the film industry, but still photography, as well as whether it’s better to just get a good HD Cam, or bite the bullet and buy the accessories needed to shoot video on the HD DSLR’s.
