Well, I'm only half kidding.
The video is really quite exquisite. Congratulations on your elegant work.
But I really am curious: What is the piano accompaniment? It's great, too.

Waiter, hold the 1Ds Mark III; I'll have a 5D Mark II instead

This was very well done. I am very eager now to shoot video once I get my 5DII. I see such wonderful application for travel - producing a movie like you have, with a sound track overtop, to help capture the essence of a trip. For our own nostalgia and also to share with family and friends... Saves them from hundreds of stills (now I can show them a movie and only dozens of stills 
)...
Can't wait to get my hands on this camera!!
Cheers and keep up the great work.

What a lovely first try. I'm anxious to see what you do when you do get the hang of it LOL. The music added a lot--and you did a very nice zoom in/out that was very pleasing to me.
I'm, unfortunately, not one of the early adopters but will eventually buy one. The video excites me--I've been considering the possibilities of using it for very subtle videos.

You are too modest. Good show,

It's very strange. Every fifth frame looks like it was taken slightly after when it was supposed to. Even the shadows of the people (those are people, right?) hanging from the wheel appear to speed up.
You can see it to some degree in every scene. People jump a little on every fifth frame on the street for example. You can see the water in the fountains drop a little faster in every fifth frame.
I hope someone can explain this.

I've seen several 5D Mark II videos at half resolution on my 1080p display. Even at half resolution they look more stunning than all the HD I get through cable or an antenna!
Probably because these have only been re-encoded once.

HI Great video.
Seems over exposed on my screen though.
I hope they can cure the 25/30 frame problem

Great example of what the 5D video mode can do, even without helicopters and assistants

..then this camera must be delivering on all that it is promising and much much more. Or you're not as much a beginner as you'd like us to believe. Anyway absolute fabulously well done. Great work !

I won't buy this camera after seeing this video. The fifth-frame jerky motion is unacceptable.

Just read his posts in this thread!
Hmmm... Most US movies are shot at 24 FPS with 60Hz lights... never saw any of this mismatch or flicker. Or are you saying they run special 48Hz power converters at US movie sites?
I've never done analysis on European video, but I've seen North American video switch from 24 to 30 and back several times in the same broadcast. The beauty of digital is you don't even notice. I suspect most European stuff is broadcast at 25 because it was made that way, but it could also be broadcast at 24 or 30 if it's a digital broadcast.
Don't get me wrong - I, too, would like to see some choice here. I find that 24 FPS gives a more authentic movie 'feel' to the motion. It's an emotional quality, which is what art is all about. I just think most of the attempts to quantify it are not really valid.
