It's the inexpensive ($120.00) Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens. Great workhorse lens, really use it most of the time I shoot video on the 7D.

I shoot on the 7D with a preset called "superflat" that folks who love tweaking such stuff shared on the 7D channel @ Vimeo. It gives you a very low contrast slightly washed out looking video, which gives the user latitude to color grade, add effects and so on with out sacrificing picture quality.

Many of the shots I just adjusted brightness and contrast to my liking and on a few shots I adjusted color tone and added vignetting to the frame. The shots of the alligator and the hippos are the two I added vignetting to if memory serves.

Cool, thanks for sifting!

YouTube added its notice about copyright.

The artwork is by Yoshitomo Nara - one of the Superflat artists.

I'll take your word for it, I stink at making attractive titles... Maybe I'll spice it up a bit too

Hi! Hopefully this one will fly. It might have to do with the thumb image. People may think it's a typical anime clip (as you may know there are quite a few anime aficionados on the web:) ), which is not the case.
You don't have to remove LV, but this way it's more overt free advertising for LV, but - then again - that may attract viewers otherwise not interested. That's the power brands have these days.
Cheers!

It's a pretty cool animation, I'm surprised it only got one vote when you sifted it...

Why should I remove the LV from the title?
