Back to School?
Friday, September 2, 2011 at 01:40PM Hey guys, It's that time again, back to school. Although I have not had to worry about me personally going back for about 26 years now, but I worry about my 3 sons getting back to school, college for that matter. They are scattered all across the Country, two down south and one in New Jersey. One wants to follow in my footsteps, well not exactly, but he wants do produce films, and he is good at it. He did some interesting stuff in High School. Now with all the changes in digital photography, it seems that the two worlds of movie and still images are merging together. I have experienced this first hand with my Canon 5D, what a camera. I haven't pushed it to it's full potential. but I have shot quit a bit of stuff both stills and video/film. What do we call it now a days? Anyway, the video aspect is great, but you really need all the gadgets that go along with shooting with this camera. A viewfinder, some kind of grip where you can hold it steady would be a good start to shooting really good moving images. Probably the thing I'm most impressed with, is the depth of field it produces, what a look! With minimal effort you can get a very professional "film" look to your work. I'm hoping to do more with the 5D and produce a short with it soon, I'll keep you posted. I may need to go back to school to learn more about this new technology before I start!
