We’ve seen such a democratization of filmmaking over the past 3 years. ‘Bad is Bad’ is more proof of that. Kent Lamm and Chris Fornataro used a Canon 7D and a shoestring budget to shoot their first feature-length film last summer.
Bad is Bad is our first feature length movie. It was written when we were 19 and shot when we were 20. Our total budget was about $6,000. We filmed it in 18.5 days in Richmond, Virginia in the summer of 2010 using the Canon 7d (which made up a quarter of our budget alone).
Check out the trailer below. [click to continue…]

In the above video, Ryan Hargrave put his Canon 7D to work in the above video by capturing Small JPEG files at the full burst speed, which he then stitched together in post to create this old 8mm camera effect.
Hargrave gives a good description of how he handled the media in post on his Vimeo page.
