If you want to hear some interesting perspectives on DSLR video capture, Gale Tattersall (the person behind the shooting of that episode of House made with the Canon 5D II) was interviewed by Ibarionex Perello on "The Candid Frame" podcast very recently. You can get the MP3 from here:

Motion capture is a very different mindset compared to still photography and requires very different skills for a lot of things. I've bought a highly recommended book on the subject of DSLR video capture ... haven't had much time to read it yet, but it looks good skimming through it: "From Still To Motion" by Ball, Gottschalk, Harrington et al. It was not a priority in my purchase of the Olympus E-5, but it was something I thought about. The E-5 is primarily a still camera, but its video capture capabilities are pretty decent. I've got a lot of fun clips out of it so far, but again time has been my limiting factor the past several months. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
