What sort of video camera was used? And with a tripod, perhaps?

Thanks everyone for the compliments. This was my first attempt at video editing (excluding stuff done in college) and it was a lot of fun.

Bruce – I used a Canon 5D Mark II. Every sequence except for the snowcycling on Capitol Square involved the use of a tripod.
