From Still to Motion: A Photographer's guide to creating video with your DSLR

From Still to Motion is a all around guide to shooting video with your DSLR. Professional photographers are evolving and adding video to their list of offerings to clients. Driving the evolution is the need for competitive advantage and creative exploration. With the addition of high definition video capabilities to the latest batch of DSLR cameras, photographers have a convenient and familiar tool to fully embrace the new world of video. But video is very different than photography, with new challenges and technology to master.

Here to guide them on all aspects of video--from preproduction to post--are four veterans of film, video, and photography. Readers will learn how to plan their shoots, what gear they'll need, how to properly light for motion, how to achieve professional-level audio, the specifics on color-correction and editing footage, various options for output, and artistic techniques such as stop-motion and time-lapse photography.

The accompanying DVD contains 6 hours of video training that delves even deeper on each topic. Visual learners can also work right alongside the authors as they put together their own projects or use the accompanying highdefinition files included on the disc. To demonstrate all the concepts in action, a full, real-world example from a music video and artist promo package runs throughout the book. Additional interviews with expert photographers in diverse fields such as nature, fashion, commercial, wedding/event photography, are included to give an array of professional experience.
