House films made by Martin Kröss on 09/07/10 at 10:00 am One of the last bastions in the movie is before the fall. After the first Hollywood production shot entirely with a reflex camera, finds a new generation of filmmakers open up hitherto unknown opportunities.Photo: FoxSLR cameras that produce the video in HD quality, nothing new is more. In the elite circle of filmmakers and professional filmmakers these cameras and have been dismissed with a weary smile as an amateur toys. Never use these cameras would get at that quality, which is necessary for the production of high-quality Hollywood movies and TV series. But the sound of laughter has died suddenly and one is whispering softly through the entire film business. The reason? For the first time a complete sequence of a Hollywood series filmed using digital SLR cameras.This is not some cheap-series from the U.S. afternoon program, but the most successful TV series in the world: Dr. House. The TV series about a brilliant and eccentric doctor is currently in 66 countries and is just over 80 million viewers the most watched series in the world. The final episode of the sixth in the U.S. just ended season was filmed entirely with the Canon 5D Mark II.Anyone who believes that Hollywood had to trick to keep the images from the usual Hollywood-expensive equipment to compete, is wrong. For close to ten rotating three standard models have been used commercially. “We have mostly turned out of the hand or with small stands. Only once we have a small camera movement relied on a camera car – but rather out of convenience and not necessity, “confirmed the director subsequently, Greg Yaitanes, in an interview. The use of 18-gigabyte memory cards enabled the team full 22 minutes movie recording. Was focused by hand, and the cameraman was able to control his image on a monitor mounted additionally.”Of course we also had problems. Already in the pipeline. We had our FOX station test pictures with confidence that we can deliver the desired quality. Technically it was very difficult to focus, but that we can create a lens, the cameras can not deliver. “Especially when turning in confined spaces such as the small compact camera could auspielen their advantages.For the actors could, instead of the usual grandiose sets, small, intimate and natural spaces are created. The ease of use, accelerated the process of working on the set – conversions, change of rolls of film or complicated set up the camera accounted for the most part. This allowed the actors more freedom to not only play, but it allowed them “to stay in the scene” rather than in between some long time to fall out of character.”The first big hurdle is to finally,” says Yaitanes, “for ambitious young storytellers often failed so far at sündteuren equipment. The fact that I can buy of a camera, at just under $ 2000 and easy to get started, opened up new possibilities. “For ambitious amateur film-makers are even cameras from Canon and Nikon by almost € 700 on the market. Short films, video clips and self-made documentary shoot like mushrooms from the fertile soil that has been sown this development – there’s no end in sight.Read more?Film samples that were shot with a digital SLR cameraInterview with independent filmmaker Dominik Gubi on films with the DSLRTHE FACTSCanon EOS 5D Mark IIFilm and photography in a camera.
