Glad to see Red is catering to the elite. I'll bet on the HDSLR format for the rest of us.

Canon's new 7D HDSLR camera is experiencing a technical glitch. Much to Canon's credit they are on top of it. Read the Canon Service Notice below.

Check out Canon's next incarnation in the HDSLR marketplace, the Canon 1D MKIV. Canon really understands what moviemakers want and are setting the pace to meet our needs.

The lack of 24fps is one of the major reasons I didn't shoot Rejouer on the D5 back in June only a few short months ago. However, Canon has just announced they will have a firmware update in the first half of 2010 for the D5 Mark II to allow 24 and 25 frames per second recoding. A bit of a wait considering how fast this HDSLR playing field is changing, but well worth the wait considering the cost of the camera. Thanks Canon for not forsaking D5 owners who are the loyal 1st generation adopters of this fledgling HDSLR format. I'll be keeping my D5 now.

Low light, low light, low light. Canon's next HDSLR camera is going to help all moviemakers save time and money by using less equipment. Read what Vincent himself has to say and look at this stunning example of low light work by clicking here or on the picture. I shot Rejouer at the 6th street bridge and know the area well. It looks amazing on this camera.

If you've got 5k to spend, you can pre-order the Canon 1D Mark IV at Amazon. However, not info on it's exact release date in December yet.

What can I say, the race is on and Canon is leading the way. What will RED do? They're suppose to have an announcement in ten days.

Here's a review from DPReview.com.

More of a photography book with a 15 page chapter on video recording, but it's good to know how the camera works as a still camera too. You'll need publicity and marketing photos, so why not take advantage of it being a hybrid still and video camera.

This AVCHD Training DVD was made before the advent of HDSLR cameras, but the AVCHD codec is the same used by HDSLR cameras. I can't endorse this since I haven't seen the complete DVD, but the excerpts seems to indicate quality information and the cost is reasonable. If anyone has first hand information about this product, please share.

Able Cinetech has a good article by Jem Schofield on double system sound recording for DSLR cameras. Check it out at: http://www.abelcine.com/articles/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=403:hdslr-audio-round-up&catid=17&Itemid=35

Philip Bloom has put together an instructional DVD on how to shoot HD video on the Canon 5D Mark II. Check it out at http://www.dvinfo.net/article/acquisition/canon-eos/canon-5d-mark-ii-cinematography-dvd.html

My movie, Rejouer may be one of thousands submitted to the Sundance Film Festival this year, but it is the only HDSLR feature length movie submitted. My hope is to be selected for the newly created category, NEXT, which is dedicated to discovering six to eight no-budget and low-budget movies. Selections are made based on their innovative and original work.

The symbol <=> is used by festival staffers to signify if a submission is to be considered. I take it to mean - movies with less than (i.e. money, experience or connections) is equal to movies that have more. It fits with my motto for HDSLR movie making: Big Movie, Little Camera.

Read about Rejouer in the October issue of TV Technology.

I used the Hot Rod Cameras mount system to shoot Rejouer. It was invented along with the adapter for the shoot. Camera Town has put together a buyers guide of other shoulder/mobile support systems in the marketplace.

It's funny, as I gave my keynote address about HDSLR moviemaking, a representative from a camera manufacturer without an HDSLR camera in the marketplace advised against buying any HDSLR camera claiming you need a dedicated video camera to shoot video. What else could they say? I guarantee in a year they'll have a camera and advise why their format is better.

I wish I had this software when syncing audio on my feature. Plural Eyes can sync up dual sync audio by matching the wave form of the camera's scratch audio and an external higher quality recording device. Check it out at: http://singularsoftware.com/

The website Cameratown has compiled a list of follow focus units for use with HDSLR cameras such as the Panasonic GH1, Canon D5, Canon D7 and Nikon D90. I used a follow focus unit on Rejouer, but none of the models listed here. A good set of quality lenses, an experienced AC and a good follow focus unit will add greatly to the look of your movie. Lots of people focus on the camera's sensor, but the lenses, knowing how to use them and having the right support tools is crucial to getting that movie quality that can't be replicated as easily with still lenses.
