The commercial on top has been shot entirely with the Olympus E-PL1: “We initially considered using a [shoplink 15024]Canon 7D[/shoplink] but due to the weight factor, that idea was scrapped early in pre-production. We also tested the GoPro HD and ContourHd but the results were not good enough for broadcast.
I suggested we use the [shoplink 14832]Olympus Pen E-PL1[/shoplink] due to its small form-factor and decent image quality, After some testing, we decided that it produced good enough results for the commercial.
Director: Farouk Aljoffrey
Cinematographer: Eric Oh
Production Co.: Planet Films”
The E-PL1 is currently discounted in many stores (because of the E-PL2 release). Check price at[shopcountry 14832].
