The Ice Driver Movie

by Neill on September 12, 2009

Here’s the short movie that’s been so popular this year with everyone. Shot on the new Canon 5D Mk2 by Neill Watson and rigged out the outside of the Ice Driver BMW M3 Compact, this shows a lap of the 2009 track with McKenna behind the wheel. No promises that this year’s track will be the same, so don’t bother trying to learn the track before you come, it’s different every year!

For the camera geeks, it was shot on the Canon 5D Mk2, with 14mm f2.8 fisheye, rigged using suction mounts and Manfrotto magic arms, then edited in Final Cut Pro. Sound was the on-camera mike.

Many thanks to The Flash Centre and Canon UK for the loan of the gear and the chance to prove that Canon 5D’s do work in extreme cold.
