DSLR Feature Film List

Would be great to get links to watch online the movies that are out...or at least know which ones got distribution.

It would, but that would make it more than a list and harder to read through.

MARIANNE just got distribution in Sweden by Njutafilms, and will be out on DVD in April. English subtitles, PAL region 2.
I hope we'll find foreign distribution as well, but if every film would have info on that for every market then the list would just be endless. Better to keep a link to their website, and each film will probably have info on that there.
 
An update for Leap: Rise of the Beast- Our kit T2i feature premiered back on May 15th and will be on DVD shortly. One of the first T2i features and the first one completed (that I know of)
 
Added KILLING KEITH, MUSGO, DIAMOND FLASH, THE LEGEND OF SEVEN TOE MAGGIE

Also updated A LOVE THAT HURTS (which love doesn't btw?)

n1c02, for purity's sake I think we'll keep the list to feature length films shot 100% on DSLRs, otherwise there will be a point where we'll have to draw a line and decide how many percent, and if a film is not shot 100% on a DSLR, it'll always be hard to say if it's 80% or 60% or whatever. So we'll just keep it a pure DSLR list.

Sorry bout the delay guys.


 
It's funny but the woman, Lena Dunham, who shot and starred in "Tiny Furniture" now has her own brand new HBO series. Looks like it's based off her movie....sort of.

Hi guys,

I'm new here and always been in to filming and visual effects. I was wondering if someone could explain the what is best a camcorder or DSLR/HDSLR? I've noticed a lot of people have started to use DSLR's for filming and was wondering how this was different to a camcorder?

Thanks

oh man, this has been covered about 1000 times in several other discussions.

but to answer as simply as possible:
1. camcorders are better suited to ENG, run and gun, event style shooting. where you rely on standard pro audio inputs and servo zooms (LIVE, real-time remote lens control) and autofocus
2. DSLRS are generally better suited to feature type work (traditional "movies") more artistic and controlled situations

there is some crossover where either can work well - ESPECIALLY in the hands of a person who understands the functions of each and has EXPERIENCE with them. but thats the most basic explanation.

people do this for a variety of reasons. but the typical reasons are:
- better control of depth of field with a variety of removable lenses. some people call this a "cinematic look"
- arguably better low light performance
- more affordable recording media
- smaller footprint (at least at the basic level)
- ability to have one device for two needs (stills and video)
- cheap buy in

but all of these things CAN come with downsides as well
- many brands suffer from moire / aliasing issues (if you dont know what these are - google it)
- some suffer from overheating
- most have file size (thus clip length) limits
- in the wrong hands can be grainy ("noise")
- lack of standard pro-style audio inputs
- lack of timecode and accurate audio monitoring (without 3rd party hacks)
- all DSLRS have rolling shutters and are prone to "jello effects" again, google is your friend.
- for some folks, it can be hard to judge accurate focus and color without external devices. and often even then

each has its pros and cons and it's a matter of choosing the right tool for the right job. the quickest way to disappointment is to think that DSLRS are simply an upgrade to a video camera
