Today I set out on a little field trip to get some footage of the Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag using a Canon EOS 7D. After schlepping a full-steel tripod through half of Berlin in scorching heat, I noticed the head was missing a screw and couldn't be locked properly >_<
Also, the sky was perfectly blue without high clouds, which means no tracking possible. So I figured it'd be best to just record some locked footage where you can expand the sky and then animate the pan yourself, maybe slapping some fish eye effect on top which always looks great ^_^
The Brandenburg Gate was totally overcrowded because of the World Cup and the "Fan Mile" (a huge public viewing area/loony bin) so I just took some photos where the Potkustart can roar overhead, then you can cut to the Reichstag which would be Pirk's target for the takeover anyway ^_^
Thierry, I'll send you the videos through sendspace later today.

ps: The shots were taking during the game Switzerland Vs Spain which seems to have been a good omen ;D
