Shot with a Canon 5D Mark II. Apparently hand-held. At night. With bright-as-fuck stage lighting, shot from on-stage. Vimeo does “HD” (well, HD according to the web anyway), so a click-through to their site to view in glorious wHD is definitely recommended. If you, like my fiancée, think NIN is just so much douchy, angry-fat-12-yr-old boy music, just mute the shit. As far as technicals go, it’s a dude wandering back and forth across the stage. As far as “wow it’s not battlestar galactica handycam shaking all over the place, wtf?” that’s the 5D FTW. Full resolution 30FPS glorious HD video, at night, with shite lighting and lots of strobe, and the Canon takes it all and then some. What a glorious hunk of magnesium and silicon.
There’s plenty more on Vimeo if you want to spend your morning drooling into your coffee like me.
