Den Lennie Setting up Canon 5D Mark II

This one day introduction to DSLR Video Training workshop will bring you up to speed on all aspects of shooting video with an HDSLR.

HDSLR Video cameras are becoming ever popular for ‘film look’ production value. The footprint of the camera systems are enabling 35mm ‘film like’ quality on tiny budgets. Canon have a range of DSLR’s from the 550D, 60D, 7D, 5D Mark II and EOS 1D Mark IV all of which deliver outstanding image quality. Nikon and Panasonic and Sony are also offering a range of HDSLR’s with video capability.

However, amongst the excitement surrounding these cameras, shooting with them can be challenging and there are some fundamental processes you must adopt if you are to get the very best from these remarkable tools. This London DSLR Video Workshop with Den will enable you to maximise your potential for achieving great movies from your DSLR.
