The
DSLR cinema revolution began over ten years ago. Professional
filmmakers, students, video journalists, event video shooters,
production houses, and others jumped at the opportunity to shoot
cinematic images on these low budget cameras. The first edition of the
book mapped the way focusing exclusively on DSLRs. This new edition
shows how you can create stunning cinematic images using low budget
cinema cameras, from iPhones to the C200.
The author examines new cameras and new projects as filmmakers shoot
action movies with the Panasonic GH5, craft personal stories with
Blackmagic’s Pocket Cinema Camera, make documentaries and short films
with the Canon C100 Mark II, and create music videos with the 5D Mark
IV.
This book, like the previous edition, takes the wisdom of some of the
best shooters and empowers you to create visually stunning images with
low budget cinema cameras. It includes six all new case studies, as well
as updated examples from short films and documentaries. This book
contains the essential tools to make you a better visual storyteller.
