I actually made a video about this over a year ago when I had no clue how to use Premiere. I also didn't have and wireless mics so I edited the whole video in movie maker and everyone who saw it said they couldn't hear me over the music. So we decided to reshoot it with our fancy D300s cameras, Sennheiser Mics, and Adobe Premiere.
Have you ever had to move between 3-5 different environments and maintain consistent exposure and color among each scene? Many photographers move between several locations every half hour (studio setup, indoor bounce flash, outside natural light, low light video) and have to quickly reset their camera's settings over and over again.
Why am I using digital SLR cameras and wireless radio triggers that are at the forefront of technology but I am also forced to use the PC sync cord which has been out for over 60 years. It never works and I want it to die.
Have you ever been told by a professional photographer that the only way to increase your flash's refresh rate is to carry one of those frumpy battery packs that attaches to your belt and connects to your flash with that telephone cord? What if there was another way to improve your flash's performance that did not require any extra cables or bulky battery packs?
When Patrick and I first started dabbling with the new video functions in our D90 camera, we quickly realized how important it was to stabilize our camera. A lot of the footage shot on our first Fstoppers Originals was shot just by hand holding our cameras...and it sure does show!
When we first set out to create Fstoppers and learn the ways of DSLR video, the first thing we learned was we had to stabilize our cameras. Handholding a DSLR produces horrible footage because 1) the rolling shutter effect, 2) DSLR cameras don't output enough data (at the moment) to render fluid movement, and 3) DSLRs aren't designed well for hand holding in the first place.
