Trailblazing Philip Bloom has just introduced a new training DVD for filming techniques using the Canon 5D Mk11, when Phil gets back from the states I hope to interview him about using the Canon 5D and also review his new training DVD.
QUOTE : “You probably have the same frustrations as Philip felt when he first began using the camera. However after immersing himself in it for 5 months he has figured out all the tricks, and cheats to make filming easy. Now he’s made them all available to you in this intensive training DVD he’s gone through the pain so you don’t have to waste time making the same mistakes he has. Absolutely everything you need to know in 24 ultra specific chapters. No ‘long drawn out 3hr presentation’ Just the important stuff, the aspects that will get you out shooting video like a pro in less than 2 hours.”
NOTE : Not to sure why the price is in dollars but the DVD is available for a limited time period for $120 then goes up to $175.

Corrected Version
I have bought this DVD and have found it to be absolutely great. The delivery style is direct and to the point and Philip is such a good presenter and teacher.
A lot of the DVD is SHOW and TELL so you can see clearly what he is talking about.
I am now looking forward to a more advanced VOL II
