The 2010 finale on the hit series "HOUSE" marks a ground-breaking game changer in the tide towards HDSLR. The entire show was shot on a few Canon 5ds. The director and DP wanted to take advantage of the 5d's extreme shallow depth of field that was appropriate for storyline. They shot with 85mm/1.2 the 50mm/1.0 and 1.2 and two zooms the 24-70mm and the 70-200mm.
The show's star Hugh Laurie embraced the new technology but joked, "What's next shooting on Iphones?" In an in-depth interview with Philip Bloom, Greg Yaitanes (dir) felt that the 5d did things that 35mm film (which the show is normally shot on) could not.
