i believe i can fly (flight of the frenchies)
It’s not very often that watching a 4 minute video can leave you out of breath and sore from hanging on to the edge of your seat, but in this trailer for the documentary “I Believe I Can Fly” by Frenchman Sebastian Montez-Rosset, it’s entirely possible. Chronicling a group of “skyliners” (which seems like a combination of slack lining, base jumping, and a general death wish), the excerpt is absolutely beautiful, featuring vistas of the group over the gorges of Noway and in between two skyscrapers in Paris, among other death-defying locations. Along with the striking imagery, the sound design also aims to literally blow you away, as the howling winds that are out to ruin the group’s goals (and possibly their lives) can be heard in full force.

A Star is Born
The Cinema EOS range includes the Canon EOS C300/C300 PL digital cinema camera which is available in two models: the EOS C300, equipped with an EF lens mount for compatibility with the wide array of lenses that make up Canon's current interchangeable EF lens lineup; and the EOS C300 PL, offering a PL lens mount for use with industry-standard PL lenses. The camera features a Super 35 mm-equivalent approximately 8.29-megapixel CMOS sensor.
Also launched were seven new 4K EF Cinema Lens models: four zoom lenses covering a wide zoom range from 14.5 mm to 300 mm-two models each for EF and PL lens mounts-and three single-focal-length lenses for EF mounts.
A 4K DSLR was also announced for 2012.
As well as Canon executives and special guest Director Martin Scorsese, attendees heard from a panel of film makers who had used the new camera and saw excerpts of their work.
They included: Richard Crudo A.S.C (Max is Back); Director Felix Alcala (Sword); Vincent Laforet (Mobius); and Sam Nicholson A.S.C. (XXIT).
This short testimonial piece outlines their reactions.
