Great VDSLR Primer from NoFilmSchool.com
NoFilmSchool.com has an in-depth VDSLR primer page. Ryan Bilsborrow-Koo has put a lot of work into collecting information from various blogs and online resources and adding them to his personal experiences outfitting and shooting video DSLR rigs.
Digital cinematography is changing so rapidly these days that a printed book on the subject is likely be outdated by the time it reaches store shelves; this is especially true when it comes to the rapid release cycle of DSLRs. Up-to-date information can be found on online forums, but forums lack the organizing principles of a book, and as a result it can take a ludicrously long time to piece together reliable information (I spent months forum-surfing to assemble my own camera package). Thus, this guide: I hope it saves readers money they would’ve otherwise spent on an out-of-date book, and I hope it saves forums from so many newbie — sorry, “n00b” — questions.
and he continues to say:
Only a small percentage of the knowledge herein is attributable to myself. The vast majority of it comes from terrific user forums like DV Info, Cinema5d, DVXuser, REDuser, and Creative COW; news sites like FreshDV and Pro Video Coalition; and noted DSLR users like Philip Bloom, Dan Chung, Vincent LaForet, Jon Fairhurst, Stu Maschwitz, and Shane Hurlbut (not to mention firmware luminary Tramm Hudson).
It looks like there are several VDSLR articles on the NoFilmSchool site so be sure to check out the whole article here and spend some time browsing Ryan’s informative blog.
