Vincent LaForte (talking about the Canon 5DMKII) on fxquide.com might sum it up best: “It’s the perfect storm if you will… the timing is going to direct still photographers into video… it’s not the tools that are going to force people to do that… it’s the demand… I think the economic downturn is going to make it very difficult for most print media to continue with their current economic model… my clients are asking for something other than still images for the internet… they want a much more immersive and interactive connection to their audiences… they want motion…”
As for myself, I’m off to rearrange my kits and make certain I’m at the leading edge of imaging capabilities for producer’s newest & best ideas.
