How good is the Nikon D4 for shooting? Here's your answer - check out this great short shot by Joe McNally! Joe is a photographer and this little movie represents his first steps into the world of moving, talking pictures, but you must admit, the the final result is great. It is a short story of New Orleans Delta Blues musician, Little Freddie King. And you must agree that Little Freddie is an interesting person to watch and listen to. Here's a nice quote from the interview:

"At one point I said to him, “Little Freddie, you’ve written some of your songs about bad women. Are they real?” He shook his head. “Oh, yeah,” he replied. “I never should have gotten into that cab that night. It was the gin talkin’ to me that made me do it. I got in the taxi with her. She was a bad woman.” He shook his head again, mournfully. “My wife".”
 

 

And here is a little bit more on Freddy:

"Little Freddie King is the real deal. He hopped the rails at the age of 14, and went from his family farm in Mississippi down to New Orleans, ’cause that town was swayin’ with sound, and he knew he had to be there. The ever magical Lynn Delmastro in our studio got in touch with him, and his manager, “Wacko” Wade Wright, and we were invited, briefly, into his life, and his music. It was enriching and wonderful to be around Little Freddie. I doubt a nicer man ever picked up a guitar."
