For follow cam filming it usually looks better for something a bit closer than 8mm. The 11-16 would work, but the 12-24 would probably be best (at 20-24).

I have a Rokinon 14mm that I love but I would probably recommend the Tokina 11-16 because of the zoom

Canon 10-18. Really wide, good enough. Been using it on my t3i for video and photography and loved it. Its f4.5 though so filming at night probably won't happen.
