British cameraman Mark Moreve shot the entire 90-minute feature film ‘Love Loss’ with the compact Canon EOS 5D Mk II DSLR camera. “Even when using a small camera, reliable and robust equipment is essential,” Mark Moreve states.
“I knew straight away that I needed good camera support equipment for this shoot. The camera is very lightweight and I often have to use longer lenses such as a 400mm, so I needed a stable Sachtler tripod to prevent any jittering during the shoot. Even if you use a lighter lens and a camera not as heavy, you have to make sure that the camera can be panned and tilted without a problem in order to achieve smooth panning shots,” says Mark Moreve who has been working as a freelance cameraman for 14 years with many broadcast and corporate credits to his name.
The British feature film ‘Love Loss’, which took two weeks to be shot in the English county of Hertfordshire, was the first film Mark and the first feature film to be shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mk II: „I wanted reliable products around me at this time as enough risks were being taken with the new DSLR camera. Sachtler is a reliable brand and so I knew their heads wouldn‘t let me down.“
“The first thing I tell people when they want to shoot with a DSLR camera is: You will need reliable equipment and the most important thing is the fluid head. I always recommend a robust Sachtler head.”
The film ‘Love Loss’ is in post production at the moment and will be presented at the Cannes Film Festival next year.

“The most important equipment parts for shooting are a reliable tripod and the fluid head in order to achieve soft panning shots. In that case, I always use the Video 18 SB head with the suitable tripod from Sachtler.”
