In our continuing coverage of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II superstar movie “Act of Valor” we present an article written for MovieMaker magazine by Hamish McCollester. We’re posting with MovieMaker’s permission – thanks guys!

When “Act of Valor” places real-life Navy Seals in major acting roles for a complex action drama, a familiar face to fans and viewers of the “We Are Marshall” movie will notice a familiar name in the credit: Shane Hurlbut, director of photography, who came to the “Valor” set shortly after completing “Terminator Salvation” for McG. “Act of Valor” had been selected from a variety of proposals for which the U.S. Navy would extend full cooperation.

Yes, that’s right! Next Saturday, Feb 25th in LA, Shane and other filmmakers on the team will be holding a panel discussion after the showing of Act of Valor.

“Act of Valor” premiered this week on Sunset Blvd. As you may know the film stars active duty Navy SEALs, and residents of Hollywood had themselves a momentary scare as the stars of the film parachuted down to the Red Carpet. The film was Directed by Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh and the Cinematography was accomplished by Shane Hurlbut.
