Nikon recently opened up Nikon Cinema, a website dedicated to HD SLR motion projects that have been created with Nikon hardware. The website currently hosts 3 short motion projects that have been shot with the Nikon D4, D800, D600 and various Nikkor glass.
The three films include Joyride by Sandro, Why by Corey Rich and Chasing The Light by Florian and Salomon Schulz. The website is loaded with great information about what it took to create each project, a look behind the scenes of the productions and what gear was used.
The website is a self promo, no denying that, but there is a lot of great information throughout the site about shooting motion work. Aside from the videos, the "Making the Shot" section is a nice interactive look at the extra gear used in the productions. It is well worth the time to dig around the site and check out the work.
When the hell is Nikon going to release a full-frame cinema camera proper?
I think we'll see Nikon Cinema glass first. How hard would it be to declick, throw gears on, and put a shiny new case on the old ai-s lens that people have been using for decades anyways.
You know whats sad about this site, is that it only exhibits work by Pros that Nikon has approved. They have a great opportunity to create a community for Nikon DSLR videographers, but only use what they want you to see.
What do you think of this? Shot all on the Nikon D3200 and won the Remi Award at Houston Fest this month. https://vimeo.com/57786264
