That “movie mode” hidden in the menu system of your new DSLR? It’s not just a novelty
feature. Together with the emergence of large CMOS imagers, HDSLRs are nothing short
of a revolutionary, democratizing, disruptive moviemaking technology, as important as the
invention of color film, 16mm, or HDTV. Not convinced? I’ve written more about how the
DSLR is affecting the future of not only cinematography but also photography, as well as how
their low-light sensitivity enables a whole new generation of international filmmakers to tell
their story. However, the proof is in the pudding, so here are ten examples of stunning DSLR
cinematography. Zacuto’s Great Camera Shootout 2010is another great demonstration of
what DSLRs are capable of when compared to (much more expensive) 35mm film cameras.
As for my own DSLR qualifications, I recently shot two episodes of the WBP Labs/
Babelgum show RADARon a Nikon D90; several behind-the-scenes videosfor Focus
Features on a Canon 5d Mark II; some other DSLR footage I can’t yet talk about publicly;
and I’ve lensed plenty of pre-DSLR projects (e.g. The West Side, or a music video I shot
when I was 19)
