“Tokyo Reality” is beautiful “unofficial” HD demo video by David Michaud and Florent Porta that was shot in Tokyo using a pre-release Canon 5D Mark II DSLR camera.

Through this video we tried to show you that you too can realize a wonderful movie without huge funds. Having a 35mm quality is realy cool, this 5D Mark II has a real future shows a new vision of the DSLR, more polyvalent. We almost forgot that the 5D Mark II can also shoot pictures!

Metelkova in Ljubljana

Our friend Eddie Codel was recently in Ljubljana, Slovenia for the HAIP festival (photos) and while there he took a trip over to the autonomous social center of Metelkova, located on the site of former military barracks (part of the Slovenian headquarters of the Yugoslav National Army) which were squatted in September 1993. Eddie shot some great photos of the surreal and bizarre street art in the area.
