Jochem de Vet’s Video Showcase on Filmmaker who Shot with the Sony A-77

Sony Alpha A77 | Showcase from Jochem de Vet on Vimeo.

A month ago, Joachem de Vet did this piece showcasing other filmmakers on Vimeo using the Sony A-77 (just like I do).  His story:

This video contains work from various filmmakers.

As a former Canon user I have made the switch to the Sony A77. Soon I began noticing that there was little talk on the web about the Sony Alpha A77′s video/film capabilities. The A77 is not embraced by the videographing community. My idea is that it should be, because it is one the most powerful hdslr’s on the market. To showcase the power and beauty of the A77 I’ve selected a few clips from talented filmmakers on Vimeo who had the guts to switch and try something new.
Features artists:

Randy Smith
Gunnar Radeloff
Julian van Buul
Heikki Kivijärvi
KV Films
Travel Freaks
Nenad Djedovic
FotoFreaks Malaysia
Steve Turnham
Eduard Ebel
Jeff Stiver
Martin Soldier
