Simple DSLR Video for Photographers Andrew Clark ~ Mike Patch “When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.

~ Albert Einstein

Camera manufacturers are increasingly putting video recording capabilities into their digital SLR’s. Smaller cameras, large sensors, awesome low-light performance, broadcast quality and massive lens ranges offered, makes them appealing to a whole new breed of filmmakers, as well as photographers. DSLR’s are being used to film whole seasons of TV shows as well as feature films. Dabbling with the video on your camera? Shooting HD video with a DSLR? Don’t know where to begin? Not sure you understand the benefit of video in a business that relies on traditional photography? Video can be a “strange new world” and you may be passing up some good opportunities. They can be used to create Behind the Scenes videos to market your studio, tell the story of your high school senior in their own words, explain the relationship between a pet and their owner, or show the progression of time in nature or an architect build with time lapse. There is a great opportunity to expand your service offerings by including video. Without a doubt, shooting video with a DSLR can be complicated; but you can achieve beautiful, creative results by following some simple guidelines. We’ll answer all your questions, from choosing resolution to editing software options. If you’re a newcomer to ‘HDSLRs’, then this is for you: a class that cuts through the jargon and explains how to get started with high-definition video.
