fxphd - dop210: DSLR Cinematography [repost]

Every day more and more productions are exploring the use of high end DLSR for HD video. Stu Maschwitz rejoins the team and the guys in Tokyo to give the most comprehensive guide to the new phenomenon of DSLR cinematography.

In this course we will cover:
What it takes to shoot cinematically with camera such as the Canon 5D MkII
How to shoot for post
Tricks and techniques for camera control and camera movement, including the Red Rock Micro and the Mini-Steadicam
Compression and camera settings recommendations, covering 24P, Manual settings, Tricks of compression etc.
Rules of thumb for evaluating what camera and lenses you need
Color grading DLSR video footage for Hollywood professional looks
Sensor and optical 'behind the scenes' including rolling shutter
reviews of 720 P with the Nikon D90, Full HD with the Olympus PEN, Panasonic GH1 and the Canon 5D MkII
Mostly shot in Tokyo and Kyoto, but as a special event later in the term, we will go on base with the US Army 55th Combat Camera Unit to look at the Canon 5D Mk II in war zone correspondent use, an unparalleled and unprecedented chance to see how these cameras are used in the most dangerous and unforgiving environments imaginable. Literally, we hope to have Stu and John putting the camera through its paces with Blackhawk helicopters and some of the bravest cameraman and women in the world with the US Army's Canon 5D Mk II specialists. A rare honor, and one we are most appreciative to have the chance to bring you.
