Mender of Broken Soles: Canon R5 Test

Who -

Talent: Jim, owner of Fast Eddies
Assistant: Martin Wheeler came along to hang out and lend a hand
Video Editor: Kyle Krause
Video Colorist: Clark Griffiths

What -

Stills and motion project to test out the new Canon R5 camera. Having just purchased the R5 we wanted to put it through the ringer to see how well the camera performed in a difficult, mixed lighting situation. The internal image stabilization was a real stand out as the video was shot 100% hand held. The still files are without a doubt the best we have seen from a Canon camera to date.

When -

A chilly and wet afternoon in November

Where -

Tools-

Canon EOS R5, EF lenses

Fun -

While unloading Martin mentioned that there was a place that had authentic Cornish Pasties near the shoe shop. It turned out that Lands End Pasty Company was right next door and that they have the most authentic Cornish Pasties Martin has had outside of Cornwall England, where he grew up.

REMOTE SHOOTING

It all begins with an idea.

REMOTELY.

We cannot wait to get back on set and start creating again. Now that we're able to begin moving forward, we've been working on new protocol that allows us to do so safely.

REMOTE SHOOTING -


Our remote shooting set up allows clients and agencies to see what's happening on set in real-time. We will also provide a custom, secure site that will stream stills and motion to your work-from-home set up. Reach out to studio@hickeyphotography.com directly to preview our Real-Time Client Portal.

SAFETY -

Now that we're able to begin moving forward, we've been working on the following safety measures:

  • Designated PPE Pelican Case that includes masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer

  • Equipment & tools from trusted, strategic partners

  • Following State and Federal guidelines 

  • Limiting sets to 10 people or less

These tools will keep those that need to be on set feel safe & comfortable. 

We feel confident that our years of experience with running small crews will allow us to deliver quality work without risking the safety of our team, our clients, or our agency partners.

LAND O’LAKES x UNITED WAY

It all begins with an idea.

This past September we shot a campaign for Land O’Lakes and United Way. Land O’Lakes gives employees time off to go and volunteer at a charity or organization of their choice. We spent two days capturing video and stills of the people who volunteer and those who are on the receiving end as well. We utilized a 16 Quasar tube light ladder to give us a big soft light source that was ideal for both stills and motion. By the end of the shoot we had video assets as well as a small image library of authentic emotional portraits for the client to use all over the Land O’Lakes Campus.

Agency-FLM Harvest

FMC NORTH DAKOTA

It all begins with an idea.

Last summer we traveled to Wimbledon, North Dakota for a shoot with FMC. Over two days we shot still and motion side by side from sunrise to sunset creating a diverse image library. Due to the fires at the time in Montana we had unbelievable light throughout the day. The warm sunrises and sunsets lasted hours thanks to the smoky haze making the shots unique with the quality of light.
