I’m amazed by the cinematic qualities of this high definition footage from Frontline’s documentary Obama’s War. The color, the depth, the texture, it all screams film to me. Except it’s just a Canon 5D Mark II rigged by Danfung Dennis.

Danfung got his Canon 5D Mark II in a steady-cam type rig, complete with a shotgun microphone, to shoot the first five minutes of the documentary. The results look straight from a good war movie. [Frontline via Lightstalkers]
