Izzy Video tutorials make it easy to learn video.

This video tutorial is an introduction to shooting video with a Digital SLR. The model I own is the Canon 5D Mark II, so it’s the one I demonstrate in the video. Personally, I think these cameras are revolutionary, and I find the footage that I get from them to be amazing. In fact, in many ways I prefer the overall look of my video from the DSLR over other more expensive options (such as my Sony PMW-EX1).

I find there are plenty of reasons to use these cameras for shooting video, and there are several reasons why you shouldn’t. In the video, I’ll give you those reasons, show you some sample footage, and even show you very quickly how to shoot video with the Canon 5D Mark II. This is the first tutorial in a series, and I hope you enjoy it!

Whenever possible, I like to shoot with one camera. It’s a lot more of a simple process. It’s easier to light for one camera. You only need one operator, and so on. However, there are times when you absolutely need to use multiple cameras when you’re shooting video, and this episode of Izzy Video will help those of you who are new to multi-camera shoots.

This episode is once again for members only, but I’ve provided a trailer above that includes a helpful tip.
