Beautiful Music Video shot with the Nikon D90

Matt Jeppsen | 12/23

Nikon’s flawed little DSLR/HD hybrid kicks butt in this creative project

Canon’s 1080p-capable 5D MarkII DSLR has been getting a lot of press lately, and for good reason. It creates surprisingly good video in a still camera form factor. Nikon’s D90 was the first DSLR to offer HD video, but it’s 720p mode with all-too-prevalent CMOS skew and jello issues make it sort of the red-headed-stepchild of the two. However, that’s not to say you can’t make good video with the camera. In fact, I’ve got an article in an upcoming DV Magazine issue that speaks directly to the topic of best practices with the D90. As an example of what you can create with the D90, I recommend you watch the following music video and accompanying behind-the-scenes video. It’s well worth it.

NAB 2012: Assorted Snapshots

Adam Wilt | 05/08

A few cool things I saw at the show that didn’t fit into any other articles.

NAB is too big a show in too short a time to see more than a fraction of it. I’ve covered a few things in some depth (as have other PVC folks), but there’s plenty more that slips by without proper coverage. Here, I have a few photos…

NAB 2012: RED

Adam Wilt | 05/07

RED’s Ted Schilowitz discusses 2012’s products, and a photo gallery.

RED’s “Leader of the Rebellion” Ted Schilowitz held a press conference at NAB on Monday, describing the projects and products RED is working on. Rather than paraphrase him, I’ve got him on card (well, it’s not “on…

The BTS video could have been more informative (says this gearhead), but I did like the music video. Jellocam? Sorry, just not a problem… if anything, the difficulty of getting and holding desired focus with DSLR lenses looked like more of a challenge.

Just more proof that flaws aren’t always fatal, and the eye and mind behind the camera are the most important tools in the camera department.

Superb video! Jellocam is not a problem at all… Just keep in mind the pros and cons of your gear, do the job with all your effort, and beautiful things will pop up in the screen.

Well said, guys. I couldn’t agree more.

Yep…

Either you understand how to take a project through pre-production, production, and post-production at a high level or not.

If you don’t, then the end result will be less than it could be having the best camera in the world won’t make the end result as good as it could be.

Oh, and there’s that little thing about having a talented crew to execute all the way through.

Hi there Guys, now this is interesting..
I am not in the film making industry, but want to work at getting there applying both creativity and my eager mind to access and apply the knowlege.
I have done a couple of music videos in my spare time and one recently on my new panasonic FZ28 which i have to state is not a DSLR but a wonderful lense with 720p recording opportunity.
please check my recent competition…some day il get there! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nx_b1JZeOvY

NAB 2012: Camera Support

Adam Wilt | 05/05

A few of the interesting bits ‘n’ bobs that make cameras usable.

At NAB I found support vendors at the affordable end of the spectrum I hadn’t seen before, comfy Aaton-style handgrips, F65 tweaks by Carlos Acosta, and a “drive-by demo” of a handy zoom/focusing lever.
