Filmmaking in Ghana Africa with the 1DXMKII

So I had to shoot a video in the Northern villages of Ghana for a Charitable organisation. I decided to use my 1DXMKII and really go for it. For the filmmaking I used the Auto Focus because I needed to shoot this solo. I chose the 1DXMKII because I needed to shoot both photo and video.
Let me know if you have any gear questions? Or any other questions for that matter!

I'm sure that was an incredible experience! I really love their tribal music. What kind of mic did you use on location? I couldn't recognise it.

[@SebastianSavoy]

Lol! Isn't this kind of rig a little overkill in this case? 😅

Ofori Ankah Kofi hey Ofori, I could have added a wifi dongle to my phone and used the canon app. But it wasn't really an issue. I was start / stop the recording and also choosing the autofocus

Amazing video! How did you get the shot at 6:15 of the storm clouds. Amazing shot, almost looks like CG
