So you're filming on a Digital SLR?
DSLRs (often called HDSLRs or VDSLRs now) are a great enabler on the “no film school” front, as they are priced to own and allow aspiring filmmakers to produce stunning film effects at a fraction of the price.
But as with any creative tool, a DSLR is only as good as the person using it because, while these cameras offer a world of advantages, they also come with a considerable set of drawbacks. However, these drawbacks are worth dealing with in order to get the kind of amazing images possible with an imaging sensor that has twenty to thirty times more surface area than that of a similarly priced, dedicated video camera.
To emphasise: these cameras are not designed to shoot movies. Their primary function remains to shoot still photos, but it just so happens that they shoot amazing video very inexpensively, and for that they are worth tinkering with, hacking, and jumping through a number of hoops to use. And make no mistake: to modify these still cameras to behave like “real” movie cameras, there are a few a things would will need know about and invest in, but you will be rewarded by using a camera that many of us could only dream of a few years ago, for cheaper than any of us imagined.
