Playing with the new camera

So I splurged and got a new camera (Canon 7D) before the holidays this year. I'm not completely comfortable with the split personality of it yet. It has one side that I'm very used to (photos) and one that I'm a complete amateur (HD Video).

That being said, the video is very fun to play with:

Ever want to see Paris - Quickly?

On an August morning in 1976, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

No dialogue, just the squeal of tires and the roar of the engine. Breathtakingly insane

Directed by Claude Lelouch, France, 1976
Cinematography by Jacques Lefrançois
