I haven’t as yet ventured into the world of video, however this beautiful short film by cinematographer Shane Hurlbut (cinematographer of Terminator Salvation) has inspired me to want to jump in and explore the possibilities. The main character, William Turner is a janitor whose seemingly mundane life is revealed through flashbacks in the last three minutes of his life. The film was shot with a Canon 5D Mark 11 utilizing the new Canon 5D firmware that enables 24 fps recording and an assortment of Canon L lenses.
