A DSLR Christmas video

[GeneralBenson]

Feliz Navidad, Hombres!

This year was the first year that my wife and I were unable to be with family during the holidays, so we decided to make a little video to try and share our morning with family and friends. This was shot in a pretty quick fashion on the Pentax K-5 and with the Pentax 14/2.8, 55/1.4, 50-135/2.8, and 100/2.8 macro. Just thought I would share it with everyone, both as a season's greeting, and because it's a DSLR video.

Hope everyone is having a great holiday season, and that you all have an inspired, creative and prosperous 2011!

Cheers,
Ben

Thanks, all! It seemed like the natural ending for the video. Part II should be here any day now.

Great video! How was the focusing accomplished? Manual or auto focus?

703Methane - The editing was done in Final Cut Express. Not a bad program for $200, but the lame part is that you can't upgrade to Final Cut Studio. So now that I'm ready to move up to a pro editing suite, I still have to pay full price. I'm still up in the air between Final Cut Studio and Adobe Premiere Pro.
