Cinematography Videos

This episode of Izzy Video is part 2 in my series on shooting video with a Digital SLR. Digital SLR cameras are excellent for shooting video indoors and at night because you can increase the ISO until you have a nice exposure. One of the challenges though is that when you’re shooting video, you usually don’t want a shutter speed other than 1/60th of a second. This can become a problem in the sunny outdoors because when you want to blur out the backgrounds (shallow depth of field), then you need the aperture open all the way. This lets in too much light which leads to overexposure, and you’ll see in this video, how you can solve that problem. The variable ND filter you’ll see in this video is this one. The full version of this tutorial is available to Izzy Video Members only, but you can download the Quicktime version of the trailer here.

Here is another beautiful wedding shot in Fresno, CA. Gino gave me a ring later this summer after seeing one of our movies at a wedding he and his fiance were at earlier in the season and I am so glad he did. This couple was so full of joy and so excited to be married. Drew and myself had a great time working with this couple and we were so thankful that we got to be apart of their day! Enjoy.

[inline] [/inline] | Download coming soon | Good morn---wait, this is a late post, so make it Good Afternoon! Just to correct something, in this vlog I do say "aspiring filmmaker" and not "inspiring filmmaker." I've still got too much to learn and too much humility to go 'round. Points of interest: 1.
