Entire episode of "House" filmed using DSLR
#3

I heard a rumour that in the finale, the 5DmkII let them get some really unique footage. I can't divulge exactly what happens, but apparently Greg House is out water-skiing, and there's this shark up ahead....

The current crop of large-sensor cameras has been interesting, and it's not that uncommon to find people buying the 5D without caring about things like autofocus or still image quality. It's specifically sought as a video camera, and it has a great look. But changing the look of a show in the middle - end? - of its run is just wrong.

For what it's worth, I just finished watching "Facing Ali" (IMDB), which was shot with Red cameras. In the special features, the producers mention the filmic look that it creates, and how the lower cost turned what was going to be a single-camera into a three-camera production. The results were beautiful, and I don't doubt that there will be a whole new style and generation of film-making that will result from it and the cameras like it.

But this just seems like a publicity stunt.
