Product Description
Book and accompanying DVD with over six hours of video training—all geared to teach you everything about shooting video with your DSLR
With the arrival of high-definition video-enabled DSLR cameras, photographers are faced with an opportunity for creativity and a competitive edge in their field unlike anything they’ve experienced before. Add to that the expanding demands from a video-hungry audience and it’s no longer a matter of if you are going to add video to your repertoire of skills, it’s when.
Here to guide you in a thorough exploration of the video-making process — from preproduction to post — and to ease your transition from still to motion are four veterans who speak the language of both photography and video fluently. With their clear, instructive approach, they quickly get you up to speed on everything from picking your gear, to properly lighting for motion, to using professional-level audio, color correction, and editing techniques, to media management and outputting, and much more. Here are just a few highlights from this richly illustrated, completely interactive book and DVD:
- Explores the entire spectrum of video for DSLR camera owners, with recommendations on gear, planning, lighting, lenses, audio, editing, color correcting, exporting, media management, and more.
- Covers a wide variety of shooting styles, including indoor, outdoor, studio, portrait, event, and available light.
- Addresses technical challenges associated with DSLR video, such as camera movement, multiple camera coverage, low-light videography, and synchronized sound.
- Explores additional creative techniques such as stop motion and timelapse photography in depth.
- Includes a real-world example of a music video and promo package throughout the book to demonstrate concepts in action, with additional profiles of photography experts in nature, sports, commercial, and weddings and events.
The accompanying DVD contains over 6 hours of video training that delves deeper into each topic, as well as high-definition footage, hands-on project files, and templates to experiment with and follow along.

 For photographers August 28, 2010

In parallel with other reviewers I agree that this is a well laid out, well written book, packed with information and good guidance.
If you are a photographer - professional or enthusiast - then this is the best jumping off point for the world of HDDSLR filming. Websites mentioned in the book will lead you to further indepth and invaluable reference material.
But I do feel I should mention that if you are from the world of filmmaking or TV then this book isn't really going to tell you much that you don't already know or can't find easily - and in more appropriate detail - on the web. As a documentary maker I was hoping for more technical detail on HDDSLRs and less generics on lighting etc - one of the drawbacks of buying from Amazon as opposed to having a look in a bookshop prior to purchase. This is of course my fault - there's nothing wrong with the book - but amongst the enthusiastic reviews for it I would just point out that if you are already comfortable with professional filming then this book probably won't help you much.
I've rated it 4 stars as a book for photographers about to experiment in video. If you're already in the industry and looking for detail on how to exploit HDDSLRs in your filmmaking...go elsewhere.
excellent....my current DSLR video go-to reference August 28, 2010

I never shot DSLR video, I am a DSLR Nikon still photographer.
By the time I got into the book (still not done reading btw), I started with the videos on the DVD immediately. I am now half way shooting my first documentary using a Canon 5D MarkII. This remains my no. reference.

I bought this book to use with my 7D. It is simply a must have if you want to get the most out of your camera. If you're a professional, it will help the success of your work immensely, as you'll know everything your DSLR is capable of. If you're an amateur, use this book to master your camera and shoot like a pro. Plus, the included DVD is great. I would have purchased it separately. If they ever teach classes on DSLR's, this will be the textbook.
Shooting dSLR Video? You Must Read This Book July 1, 2010

I have been a hobbyist photographer and videographer for many years. Once I saw the stunning quality that can be obtained from shooting video on a dSLR, I sold my old 5D and my video camera and purchased the Mark II. I quickly realized, however, that shooting video on a dSLR was a completely different beast. There were many challenges that needed to be addressed in order to produce an acceptable end product. "From Still to Motion" saved me and showed me the way. The book carefully takes you from start to finish and explains everything in fine detail. They cover everything. If you are, or are thinking about, shooting video on a dSLR, I highly recommend reading this book. It will help you immensely.
Fantastic starter book and intermediate book June 22, 2010
