I've been wanting to dabble a little in DSLR video for some time now so I picked up a 5D2, Zoom H4N and Azden SGM-1X mic and went for it. After doing a few test shots to understand how all this works, I attended a good friend's daughter's birthday where I shot video and took photos for about 8 hours, then edited to get this result. There's a lot of things I wish I did a bit different or knew how to do (i.e. make sure the white balance was perfect in every shot) but oh well this is my first attempt. C&C welcome of course. I'm here to hear from my mistakes.
