DSLR's sre really starting to be used a lot for HD video now for obvious reasons- depth of field etc.

After Effects Cell Animation Test
"Thanks, this clip was only to see how it might work, so I never got as far as adding sound. I was quite pleased with the look of the cells dividing, the thing that I wish I had got was a better look of looking down a microscope."
Luis O. Maymí commented on Michael Lansdell's videoAfter Effects Cell Animation Test
"Nice animation. The only thing I didn't like, it doesn't have audio effects. That will give your animation a lot more life."
Jose Noriega replied to Michael Lansdell's discussion Affordable DSLRs for HD video?"I have bought the Canon EOS 500D and it Rocks ¡¡ 720p at 30fs and 1080 at 18fps Quite filmlike ¡¡ I think it is the best bang of the buck I also like the Cnon EOS 7D but it is more expensive"
Gordon Lamb replied to Michael Lansdell's discussion Affordable DSLRs for HD video?"Nikon D90. I use one, works really well for both the HD video and amazing for still photography. Might be close to your price range too."

"Selflessness"
"These are much more fun than our normal stuff, most of the programmes we make for that chanel are things like "How to host the perfect school governors meeting", or other, equally stimulating subjects! The budget for this worked out at…"
Bill Mecca commented on Michael Lansdell's video"Selflessness"
"obviously more budget at your job than I have at mine... I am it...but I like it that way. wish I could get that creative and dramatic. Recently did one training video that was a dramatic portrayal, kind of a legal mystery format like you would see…"
Michael Lansdell commented on Michael Lansdell's video"Selflessness"
"Yup, the aircraft were indeed put in afterwards, we really don't have the budgets to of got the real thing! I'd not had a problem with the levels before, but this could because I did the offline (as well as the grade and effects) and so…"
Bill Mecca commented on Michael Lansdell's video"Selflessness"
"Fantastic stuff! One suggestion though, the audio levels, could not hear the actors, had to crank it way up, then went deaf with the sound effects... too wide a range of dynamics. did you insert the aircraft flying over in post?"

Michael Lansdell replied to Michael Lansdell's discussion Affordable DSLRs for HD video?"Thanks! I'd love to have £1,500 to spend on a camera, but unfortunately I think £600 is gonna be my upper limit! Unless you know of any good deals on that camera?"
Michael Lansdell commented on Linda's group Turning Stills To Life"I broke it up into layers in Photoshop, and painted in the bits that were left blank from this, then put it together in After Effects. I added some particles to the scene blowing in from the left and added a bit movement using an animated fractal…"
