This is plain great, but the idea and implementation of the led outfit represents 99% of the value. I don't see anything remarkable about the technical qualities of the movie, the leds are blown out anyway, I would think that the superior high ISO and cold battery life of top DSLR like the D4 would make it more suitable for this type of shooting?

Cheers,
Bernard

It's a very cool idea, but ultimately I'm not that impressed; it ends up looking like CGI to me.

It can't shoot at 120fps with the dynamic range of the Epic.

I think the compression makes it look worse than it actually is, considering they shot in HDRx mode. It was fun, for the first 10 seconds.

It looks like the kind of thing a janitor might use to convince people that the fairground is haunted. And I'd have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you pesky kids! </scooby_doo_mode>
