Produktinformationen zu „DSLR Cinema “
Unlike the many books that cover DSLR cameras for photography, this book is written for filmmakers. For a fraction of the cost of standard HD video cameras and superior image quality, filmmakers can really achieve that cherished film look using these inexpensive cameras ($1500 to $4,000). Cinematic techniques are explained in great detail, including the major technical features of the cameras (choice of lenses, depth of field, video noise reduction, and more), but remains focused on the storytelling. The book discusses the different camera models (Canon 5D & 7D, Panasonic Lumix GH1, and more), but the book is not camera-model specific. Interviews and case studies with DSLR video gurus like Philip Bloom provide a well-rounded and insider's perspective to show filmmakers how its really done. DSLR Cinema gives the inside track on using hybrid DSLR cameras for cinema projects, providing information on workflow guidance, advice on how to get good audio, equipment listed by budget category, and the relationship of cinematography to good storytelling. A companion website features the DSLR films discussed in the book, giving readers that extra nudge to go out and make awesome DSLR films of their own.

Rezension zu „DSLR Cinema “
"A huge thank you to Kurt Lancaster for giving a voice to HDSLR in this new trail-blazing book." -Shane Hurlbut, ASC (DP of Terminator Salvation) "This book should be in every camera bag.

This is easily the most exciting time I have experienced in my 20 or so years in the business."-Philip Bloom, DP, Director, Filmmaker (www.philipbloom.net) "It tells me exactly what I want to know - how to get the LOOK that I need. Hats off to the author for tackling this subject. It make the book INVALUABLE for the DSLR filmmaker." -Julian Grant, Producer/Director "It will spread the revolution and introduce people to this way of thinking...it would be a must read for anyone who has been filming for a year or two and still thinks in the old ways of looking through a camera." -Andrew Jones, Cinematographer "If you are new to filmmaking with a DSLR camera and are looking for a place to get started, or if you are a seasoned filmmaker and just want to add some knowledge to your experiences, DSLR Cinema: Crafting the Film Look with Video is a great place to start that will give you solid information that you can put into practice immediately." - Tracey Lee, dslrcinema.com "[T]his is the best book/training material about HDSLR video I have seen so far.

international cast of DSLR shooter and covering all the basic tools, techniques, and composition opportunities of DSLR."--CA Bookwatch "This is a fantastic resource for anyone just getting into the DSLR game. It has tons of information on using these cameras for the good of film kind. Kurt does a great job of breaking down everything from equipment to technique."--WideOpenCamera.com "It's rare for me to make a simple, blanket, superlative statement like this, but I absolutely love this book. I'm usually suspicious of technology specific books like this that would logically become outdated with the release of 'next years model' of camera or technology, but this book is different for so many reasons. Its difficult to narrow down what I loved most about this 320-page soft cover] book, but pressed I would have to say the professionals' comments. Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) shooters from around the world explain their experiences with this new technology and I couldn't get enough (luckily Lancaster has a website where the fun continues).. The book is inspiring, well written, excellently paced and chock full of pictures, screen shots and illustrations that tie everything together. One of the best cinema production books I've read."--VideoMaker Magazine "Over the past year DSLRs have become a powerful tool utilized in cinema. From indie production to hollywood work, they have become a tool that is taken seriously by filmmakers everywhere. And now thanks to Focal Press and Kurt Lancaster, there is finally a physical guide to using them. There are some cons to publishing a detailed guide like this on paper. But its sooo nice to have a physical book with this many features in ones hands. Learn to think more like a cinematographer than a videographer, whether shooting for a feature, short fiction, documentary, video journalism, or even a wedding. DSLR Cinema offers insight into different shooting styles, real-world tips and techniques, and advice on postproduction workflow as it guides you in crafting a film-like look."--DSLRvideoshooter.com "This book will teach you to think more like a cinematographer than a videographer, whether shooting for a short fiction, feature, documentary, video journalism, or wedding. This account offers insight into different shooting styles, real-world tips and technique, and advice on postproduction workflow.
