ABC's Final Witness shot on Canon DSLRs

Anyone catch pilot episode of Final Witness last night?
Teen daughter has her boyfriend kill her entire family.
I feel for you guy's with teen daughters.
Just watching a few minutes and you can't help but notice the sharpness and the shallow DOF.  Had to be DSLR's I thought.
This morning I found the production blog and interesting enough it was produced in 2010 (but only premiered 2012?) and shot with Canon 5D's and 1D's.

DIY Rolling Camera Bag aka old suitcase and camera insert

Around June 2011 I was looking for a cheap alternative to the freakin expensive ass rolling camera cases. I did some Googling and found a post from http://somethingblueimages.blogspot.com/2011/02/semi-diy-camera-bag.html

This was perfect. I had an old rolling suitcase that I had no use for, and for about $30 I could buy a padded insert and turn it into a rolling camera case and save hundreds of dollars. One problem though it wasn't as cool looking as a Think Tank. I was hesitant to post about this DIY, until today. FStoppers posted the same DIY trick and now I don't feel so bad about my DIY rolling camera bag!
