In this three-hour workshop, we will cover everything you need to start shooting video with DSLR cameras. We'll discuss the accessories needed to use the camera for cinema and production-style shooting, and create a mini-studio in the classroom to see how a DSLR responds in real time to lighting and camera settings. This workshop will also prepare you for the hands-on Do-It-Yourself DSLR workshop, for more in-depth training!
This workshop will cover:
- Still photography vs. video photography
- Getting the shallow depth of field, 'cinematic look'
- How shutter speed, f-stop, and ISO affects video footage
- Pros and cons of these cameras and why you might choose them for certain types of projects and not others
- Some very important 'gotchas' in capturing video footage with still cameras and lenses
- The basic workflow to be able to edit this footage in Adobe, Avid, or Apple NLE's.
- Extra gear and accessories for shooting cinema-style with an entry-level or medium-sized budget
- Fundamentals of audio and shooting dual-system sound
- What to consider when purchasing a DSLR for video production
Current cameras on the market that this course will apply to:
Canon 1DMkIV, 5DMkII, 7D, 60D, Rebel T2i & T3i. Nikon D90, D300s, D5000s, D7000s. Panasonic GH1, GH2. Sony NEX 5N, etc.
Who Should Take This:
Videographers and photographers who have never shot DSLR video before, or who have only done a little and feel completely lost! Familiarity with video and photo terminology is helpful.

A 'one-man show,' he scripts, produces, shoots, and edits all of his own content. He regularly creates video for the web, broadcast television, large events, and in-house corporate training. In December 2009, he purchased a Canon 7D video-capable DLSR, and has never looked back, embracing the cinematic look this camera provides his productions. He's shot hundreds of hours of footage with his DSLR.
It was very educational. I will be taking more classes in the future.
