About HDSLRcinema

For the first time in the history of cinema, the wall of technology and money between Hollywood and amateur filmmakers has had a huge hole blown in the side, through which many talented young filmmakers are sure to creep through.

Sure – big sets, professional actors and special effects still cost huge amounts of money. But now there is no limitation which requires an amateur movie to look amateur. Slumdog Millionaire or No County For Old Men could have been shot on the 5D Mark II and nobody in the audience would have noticed!

A talented director and photographer with a DSLR, a good group of actors and a great story is now a recipe for success that will even make Steven Spielberg envious!

Canon and Sony are currently planning to introduce larger and more expensive video cameras (not DSLRs) which take advantage of the technology introduced by DSLRs like the 5D Mark II. But due to their low cost and small size, DSLRs will continue to be used as movie cameras right the way from film-schools to Hollywood.

For photographers who have never got much satisfaction out of camcorders, maybe now is the time to try your hand at video once again, or for the first time. Just as your Flickr album can enable wide recognition of your photographic talent, so a short film is a showcase to the world of what you can do. You don't need actors or a set. It's almost become a genre of cinema in itself – 'the DSLR film' – which resembles a beautiful moving photograph.
