Dos and don'ts when filming with DSLR
I started filming with my DSLR. I just use it to document something like a lighting setup or similar. So far I have little to no knowledge about how to make good videos. I'd be quite interested in a film that tells a beginner like me about best practices and pitfalls when filming with my DSLR.
Maybe I am pushing the envelope a bit with this idea because this website is all about photography and not about video, but I assume this topic is interesting for other viewers as well. Besides that I would really like such a film to be produced by video pro's like the foto tv team rather than by a photographer who stumbles into video just like I do myself.
I wish you good light!

Filming with DSLR
Hi Michael,
nice topic for the forum. Maybe we could establish a list of tips, techniques, mistakes, camera models and equipment... than can be useful for beginners and for those who are filming with their camera already.
The list could be transformed into a series of films at FotoTV. What do you think?
I have watched some DVD's about the topic... some are nice but very limited... just the basics... and no chance to learn new techniques and tricks...
Best regards
Sebastian
