With the introduction of movie-making capability in the Nikon D90 and Canon 5D Mark II DSLR (digital SLR) cameras, perhaps it’s time to start compiling tips, techniques and resources for video production specifically targeted to digital photographers.
A Video Primer for Photographers
This Luminous Landscape article is required reading, and is a great starting point for photographers who’re just starting to get their feet wet in videography.
Sound recording equipment
The built-in microphone on the camera typically records only in mono, and you might want better quality sound. Stu Maschwitz of Prolost made a recommendation for using an external recorder / mic, the Olympus LS-10 Linear PCM Recorder + Olympus ME-52 Noise Cancellation Microphone in this post.
In that same post, Stu recommended the use of the VocALign software for synchronizing the sound as recorded from the camera’s mic and from the external recorder / microphone setup.
