Shooting Movies

DSLR video has come of age. In fact, most buyers make it a pre-requisite when selecting a DSLR and ensure their new pride and joy is capable of recording high quality video. The advances have created many converts and there is quite a buzz in the film/TV industry over it. Indeed, you’ll probably not know or have realized, but quite a few TV programs are now carrying footage shot by DSLRs.

DSLRs can create wonderful cinematic quality video, with shallow depth of field and true Hollywood look and feel. There are “secrets” though to how this is achieved.

If you’ve had a go at shooting movies you’ll probably be wondering what those secrets are, since almost everyone seems disappointed with their initial results – unless they come from a point of knowledge/experience. It takes quite some research to understand it all, unless you work in the industry.

A DSLR is significantly better at shooting video than an equivalent costing video camera for numerous reasons. You’ve also made a considerable investment in your DSLR – so why not make use of it?! So, why carry two cameras? When you can carry one.

Learn those secrets and get out and shoot; the kids, the pets, the sports days, the holidays, the ceremonies, the end-of-term school plays, the school concert, the graduation ceremonies……….

Testimonials:

“Thanks for a great download. I did enjoy reading the paper and learnt a lot……………this small package is remarkable value for money in saving me time setting up the BIN file and understanding the picture control settings. Additional advice with links to external and independent sources on tripods, microphones, loupe, ND filters and remote release, caters for all budget levels. This website is my first source for practical advice on the Nikon D7000.”

“Although I was mostly interested in the Movies profile, I downloaded the Profiles & Movies combo because of the price. I look forward to using the Movies setup. I have read the Movies documentation a couple of times already and although I had read a lot prior to this, nothing was as complete nor as well written as your explanation – well done!”
