Guestblog Armee DSLR video

Today a very interesting blogpost by our friends from Armee design about DSLR video, I think you’re gonna love this one.

Guest Blog DSLR shooting in practice
Late last year I came in contact with Frank’s inspiring workshops. As probably the most I started with Workshop I “studio lighting”. As a starting entrepreneur and photographer an excellent starting point to get more experience with shooting in a studio. I didn’t yet realized how inspiring Frank really is.

 

In January Frank started with the workshop DSLR filming for beginners. I own the Canon 5D Mark II, an excellent camera for this application. I did not have to think long to join this workshop. Because this was the first time it was taught, others were not yet convinced of the value of attending this workshop. I was therefore in a unique position to be the only student in this workshop. Frank, Marie (Model), Sharon (intern) and I therefore had an amazing day.
Although this workshop is for the novice filmmaker, you could still work with the camera right away. You will learn many aspects of the film options in your DSLR. After the workshop you can work with multicam recording, editing, use of color filters and customizing backgrounds.

 

We are now a few months further and I have some projects behind me. I like to share with you my experiences and the pitfalls, you will surely encounter. The projects I write about are a promotional video of a mountain bike team and the video project of Foundation Stumbling Stone Axes . In the last project we did not own the material filmed, but ultimately made the edit. In the last project we have identified a few points where we in the future will be more alert on.

Guestblog Douglas Sonders

Today as guestblogger someone who’s work I really like (even have some of his work hanging in our studio)…. Douglas Sonders.

 

I want to thank my friend Frank for allowing me to guest blog on his excellent site, and thank you for taking the time to read my post. Feel free to check out some of my work and my blog: www.SondersPhotography.com

As a long time commercial photographer and instructor, I get this email all the time: “I’m a new/aspiring/struggling/young photographer and I want to know what advice you have for me?” I literally get this email or tweet or facebook message almost daily. I suppose that’s what I get for teaching at conferences and offering whatever possibly wisdom that I can share publicly. For a long time, I considered just making a form letter, but then thought that would also be very impersonal…so those emails and messages were placed into a folder awaiting a time I could give my personal input. Alas, here we are: I have just decided to do a blog post to offer some core key tips that may help you on your way in your new photography career. I hope this helps some of you.

LA day 3

Normally I don’t post a blogpost on Sunday, but I thought let’s make an exception for this time.
Today was Day 3 in Los Angeles, and the last day that is 🙁
Tomorrow we are already leaving for Vegas, we’re gonna drive ourselves and will be visiting several stops along the road including Amboy which I really (really) look forward to.

So expect a lot of images from that place.
