From Still to Motion: A Photographer's guide to creating video with your DSLR #0321702115

From Still to Motion is a all around guide to shooting video with your DSLR. Professional photographers are evolving and adding video to their list of offerings to clients. Driving the evolution is the need for competitive advantage and creative exploration. With the addition of high definition video capabilities to the latest batch of DSLR cameras, photographers have a convenient and familiar tool to fully embrace the new world of video. But video is very different than photography, with new challenges and technology to master.

Here to guide them on all aspects of video--from preproduction to post--are four veterans of film, video, and photography. Readers will learn how to plan their shoots, what gear they'll need, how to properly light for motion, how to achieve professional-level audio, the specifics on color-correction and editing footage, various options for output, and artistic techniques such as stop-motion and time-lapse photography.

The accompanying DVD contains 6 hours of video training that delves even deeper on each topic. Visual learners can also work right alongside the authors as they put together their own projects or use the accompanying highdefinition files included on the disc. To demonstrate all the concepts in action, a full, real-world example from a music video and artist promo package runs throughout the book. Additional interviews with expert photographers in diverse fields such as nature, fashion, commercial, wedding/event photography, are included to give an array of professional experience.

Author(s) Expertise:

James Ball: Director of Photography for HBO, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, PBS.
Robbie Carman: Colorist for Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Broadcast Commercials; Well-known trainer, Lynda.com and National Association of Broadcasters.
Matt Gottshalk: Lighting Director and Camera Assistant; Active member of Cinema5D.com community.

It offers 2.5x focusable magnification, a 40mm diameter Zacuto optical designed lens, an eyecup preventing extraneous light leakage, and a field of view perfectly matched to 3” LCD screens. The Z-Finder Jr. does not have a diopter instead it uses Z-Finder Extender Frames to adjust the focal point.

The Z-Finder Jr. uses a mounting bracket that must be sandwiched in between a tripod plate and the camera. The bracket mounts to the ¼ 20” screw on your tripod plate and the actual Jr. is held in place with pressure from the fork of the bracket it sits in. You also have the option to mount the Z-Finder Jr. using the Z-Finder Mounting Frame (snap fit adhesive mounting frame) which is also included.
