Since the emergence in 2008 of cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D90, a growing number of filmmakers have been experimenting with and delivering 1080p HD video projects shot with these highly sensitive yet relatively inexpensive DSLR still cameras. Unfortunately, with the affordable price tag come several maddening limitations, especially for filmmakers. Our panel of early adopters will help you navigate the good, bad, annoying and truly liberating aspects of using a DSLR camera on both short- and long-form video shoots.
You’ll learn:
• How to stretch your production budget with smaller and fewer lights
• Ways to minimize and correct rolling shutter
• Best practices for synching audio
• How to use filters and other tools to combat overexposure
•Tips for working around the automatic default modes in most DSLR cameras
•The latest firmware updates on manual aperture, ISO and shutter speed control
•The latest updates in FCP and other editors aimed at simplifying DSLR post workflow
