A tutorial by Fenchel & Janisch Facebook: www.fb.com YouTube: www.youtube.com This introduction to DSLR video is divided into six parts. Learn how to set up your camera, shoot in daylight and at night. This tutorial shows you how to get the cinematic film look that so many people are talking about. In the fall of 2008 Vincent Laforet was the first one to use the Canon EOS 5D Mark II which was the first digital SLR capable of recording full HD video. The short film he shot mostly at night, called “Reverie”, become popular over night. Something that Canon never intended got more and more in focus of amateur filmmakers all over the world: Shooting films and commercials with a stills camera. It only took a few month and the first accessories were released. Since then a lot has happened and a lot of TV shows like “House MD” or “CSI Miami” used DSLRs on set. Philip Bloom, another pioneer in digital filmmaking, used cameras on the Lucas Film production “Red Tails”. The small body and the great image quality has fascinated international acclaimed cinematographers like Rodney Charters (“24”). In independent cinema those cameras became indispensable.

It’s better to shoot at 24, shooting at 60 will give you slowmo with proper conforming.

Is it better to shoot 60fps and pull down to 24fps or just to shoot in 24fps? If I shoot at a higher frame rate, it gives me slow motion options, that’s why I like it…

Awesome video! Really nicely done with lovely visuals! Was it filmed with a 5d Mk II or 5D Mk III mostly?

I would say get one of the prime lenses with f1.8 at least to start.. The 50mm f1.8 is cheapest but still works nice and is great to start. The f3.5 zoom is contributing a lot to the noise, you need much more light, it is good for outdoor daylight filming or shooting still photos with flash indoors. Also the sensors are still good but not as good with low light on lower end DSLR models. They have more grain, even the 5d MK II. The 5d MK III has really nice low light improvements though.

Do you recommend to use a variable ND Filter? How many stops do I need to work with to have good exposure at daylight? At least one?

Hey there! Firstly, an iso of 800 isn’t very low…to eliminate noise noticeably you would have to shoot around 100-200. Also, an f-stop of 3.5 is relatively high, when considering night shots (DSLR’s need a lot of light to perform well). I would invest in a prime lens that can shoot wide open with stops in the 1.4 to 2 range, and then you can turn your iso down which will eliminate a lot of that noise.. I have a video that briefly goes over this if you want..best of luck to you!

I’m shooting with a Canon T3i and a standard 18-55mm lense with an f-stop of 3.5 and even in somewhat light places, without alternate lighting, and even in night shots and i still get crazy amounts of noise and film grain even with a low ISO like 800. How can I fix this?

Is it a good idea to also turn the sharpness down along with the contrast for post purposes?

You should probably consult the manual or experiment yourself.
