Ha! Yes - actually in 2008. Cannon XH-A1 with film lenses yes. Although I think "amateurish" is a bit harsh. This was a project done by pros with for all intents and purposes no money. So we worked with what we had. You're more than welcome to check my creds if you want.

I can assure you that both Henry and Maria wore pants during the entire shoot. You'll see proof of that in upcoming episodes.
