When I first published my DSLR guide, one of my favorite moments was finding the link posted to a forum, followed by a grizzled veteran’s comment to the extent of, “I will not answer anyone’s question here unless they go read this guide first.” This was exactly what I wanted the guide to be — a FAQ that would help others get started. Despite weighing in at a hundred-something pages, however, my own guide is far from comprehensive, and in the year since publishing it, a number of other training resources have sprung up (which is not to say that mine was the first). After creating their own HDSLR guide, B&H Photo is now launching an HDSLR training series in conjunction with DP Shane Hurlbut. More »

DP Shane Hurlbut is at the forefront of using prosumer HDSLRs in high-end productions. His background isn’t in still photography, but rather shooting 35mm Hollywood blockbusters like Terminator Salvation and Into the Blue. As such, he’s perhaps more qualified than anyone when it comes to using DSLRs as part of a traditional movie workflow. Here’s an excerpt from Shane’s HDSLR Bootcamp: More »

Regardless of whether you think Po Chang’s The Last 3 Minutes is a rip-off of Chris Milk’s Last Day Dream, the DP of the former film, Shane Hurlbut, has posted a series of very interesting behind-the-scenes videos from the making of the short. Despite the use of low-cost DSLRs, the video had a sizable budget, apparent in the amount of equipment and size of the crew employed on the shoot. Shane’s done a very helpful voiceover, illustrating several clever shooting and lighting techniques: More »
