So, I’m still getting the hang of shooting video with my DSLR, but so far I’m really liking it. I was a little skeptical at first, but after tweaking the settings and reading through the manual a bit, I’ve gotten past all the problems I had with it at first.
Yes, I have taken pictures and those are great, as expected. But shooting video with a DSLR is new and foreign to me, so I want to explore it and try to push it as far as I can.
Having shallow DOF for HD video really gives the picture a more controlled and cinematic look.
Next thing to learn/figure out/master: Color-correction & and figuring out my HD workflow for editing these suckers into something watchable.
