Vincent Laforet on cinematic journalism and DSLR news video

We ask Vincent Laforet, the original 5DmkII filmmaker and former New York Times award winning photojournalist, about his views on cinematic journalism debate and the practicalities of using DSLR for news and documentary video shooting. His conclusions may not be what you expect. I also had the chance to speak to none other than Khalid Mohtaseb and Phil Bloom on the subject which I’ll upload in the next day or two.
