DSLR Insanity!!!

Ive been trying to think of High end People/productions that use DSLRs, to Make a list. If you could post some big name people that you know of that would be great. Some of these Jake has already told me about.

A lot of people propose the idea that DSLRs are somehow illigitimate. Somehow DSLRs have more credibility if Emmy award winners use them for their entire film.


reservations (entire show) and other travel channel shows.
Intro to SNL uses 5ds and 7ds
Colin Hearts Kay shot Entirely on 5d, Emmy winner Sebastian Conley
Memphis Beat uses 7d.
Covert Affairs uses 5d.
Shelfstackers BBC
HBOs True blood uses some 5ds
Numb3rs uses 5d2s
Ron Howard uses them
"The Guild" shot on DSLR
NIN all concert videos
House (Director Greg Yaitanes)
Sam Nicolson (multiple shows)
Paolo Cascio (iphone, and coke ads)
Robert Rodreguez uses a 5d, some scenes in the movie Predetors
Ironman 2 used a 5d2 as a crash cam and for some race scenes.
Prince of persia used a few 5ds, mostly for CG
The scenes at the end of the hurt locker.
Shane Hulberts Navy ads.
Nancy Schreiber http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0775262/

Not any more names but this is a great video of the two people involved in shooting house talking about shooting with the 5D.

Greg Yaitanes, Executive Producer and Emmy winning Director, and Gale Tattersall, Director of Photography of House M.D. share their experiences using EOS HD Video for shooting House.

Why would they not give them the rights to show the footage! Strange as it promotes House M.D. also. Funny old world,

I heard an audio interview with that Greg guy, they asked him about compression and he said, "who cares" and he went on to say that people who forensically examine the technical quality of a camera specs are not people who do this for a living. Which is what Ive been saying all along :)

Also forgot
Redtails, george lucasas film used 5ds (and 7ds?)

Well said Ironstrike, beware the anal in video production. Most of this stuff goes by in a heart beat.
