Nikon D3100 Short Movie Test – 03.05.11

Written by

in

Testing out 1080p movie mode in raw format, as well as my film editing skills. About 80% captured using a Nikon Series E 50mm f1.8 lens in manual mode. I also used the stock lens (Nikkor 18-55mm AF f3.5) for a couple sequences. All sequences shot with manual focus. Various indoor shots, day and night. Lots of low light situations. Music by Charlie Parker, “Bird of Paradise,” 1947 – Featuring Miles Davis.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

The film, “Energy of Colors” was created using the vibrant hues of Okinawa’s flora and fauna to symbolize life itself. While on location, the photographer took advantage of the D5000’s Vari-angle monitor while shooting with a tripod as well as when capturing small creatures such as hermit crabs at low angles. Using an ND filter to maintain maximum aperture, the photographer was able to utilize beautifully cinematic image blur, thanks to the D5000’s large image sensor. AE lock was used to keep the same exposure level when panning. Combine these steps with the radiant Okinawan sunshine and the result is the impressive D-Movie footage you see here.

    Great video!!! Better quality than most other people who don’t really know how to utilize the D5000’s full potential.
