RE: street video
there's a big learning curve between thinking like a photographer and thinking like a videographer. speaking from my personal experience and comments from directors, photographer's shooting video tend to shoot to tight, not move around enough, hold too long on a single shot, shoot too much from their natural eye level, zoom too much, cut too slow (long dissolves, slide show like) , not let the camera run long enough ...but photographers are much better lighters than video guys. i find my self turning off lights while my fellow shooters keep adding them. and they always ask me, how did you do that?
i'd stay away from the zooms during shooting (except for establishing shots) it's hard to cut into/outof a zoom, it's better to have a tight, medium and close up to work with. but working with one camera you need to leave it running while you change shots so you have sound continuity (if you need it)
the sound seemed pretty good with that on camera mike (assuming that's what you used). did you run into problems with the time limit on the card?

Thanks for the critique, it's exactly what I need to hear. And yes, I shot it with the new 5D2.
This was really just an exercise for me, and I know that there is MUCH to learn about video. I had the camera on a monopod stuck in my belt, strap around my neck and shooting with the 24-105 with the stabilizer on. Zooming manually is not easy with a still camera shooting video, hopefully it'll get better as I get used to the lens.
I looked down so you could actually see the instruments and not just an oblique angle, felt most people would want to see what was making the sound.
I shot this blind during the final rehearsal, not knowing how long the piece was or when it would end. I had limited access to move around the stage due to lack of room. I really don't like the stills either, but from where I was standing I couldn't get the theremin player, so the stills came from my place in the back of the theater during the performance.
Again, for me this was totally a learning exercise. I hope to be able to take some classes, get some edgeamacation, and become slightly less incompetent as time goes on. I figure in ten years or so I should be ok at this. Video is damn hard compared to still photography.
Mike
